Are SHOCKING Ingredients Lurking In Your Bathroom?

We Are Proud To Sponsor  The Cancer Prevention Coalition

Harsh, Toxic Industrial Chemicals Are Invading Our Lives

 FACT:  Surgeon General requires WARNING LABELS on all cigarette products in 1970’s.

 FACT:  20 years later the nation faces a health calamity that could cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives

 FACT:  Many of our personal care items have WARNING LABELS as well…  That we don’t know are there or we ignore them

 FACT:  When some of these ingredients interact with other substances they can increase the risk of cancer.

 FACT:  In 1938, when the FDA grandfathered these ingredients as safe, no studies were done on long-term use of products with so-called acceptable amounts of these ingredients.

 FACT:  It is NOW known these ingredients do get into our bodies through their intended use.

 20 years from now, what will we have proven about these ingredients, their use and their effect on our health?  Or will we still be asking the wrong questions?

 Are there any clues today that might help?

 We Think So!

Incredible, but true!

Before you dismiss this, go to your bathroom and check some labels.  You’ll find Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Propylene Glycol (not to mention dozens of other chemicals) in toothpastes, conditioners, cosmetics, shampoos, lotions and many other common products …

….. You and your loved ones use several times, every day

Could these ingredients possibly have any long-term side effects?

  • WHY is the rate of cancer soaring?

  • WHY is the rate of heart disease soaring?

  • WHERE did Alzheimer’s come from?

  • WHY do so many people need glasses or contacts?

  • WHY does the USA lead the world in the proliferation (increased rate of incidence) of degenerative diseases?

  • WHAT does the USA spend a TRILLION dollars annually on health care for anyway?  Shouldn’t overall health be getting better?

There is something going on… and it’s not pretty.  When you know the facts about what these chemicals found in our everyday products are and where they come from and what they cause…

…. You’ll be shocked … and then you should get angry.

 The tobacco industry faces a monumental scandal. It’s NOT only about what they knew regarding tobacco use… but, WHEN did they know it?

 Whether it’s 10 years from now or 20 or 30 – if producers of personal care items get called on the carpet to account for the use of these chemicals, will we be asking the same questions –WHEN did they know it?

 The simple truth is… we already know it!  These chemicals are found in industrial compounds and their Material Safety Data Sheets warn of cancer causing side effects, extreme skin irritants, etc.  There’s even a medical study that shows exposure can retard eye development in young mammals!

 Could this possibly include our children?  Hmmmmm

Your medicine cabinet may contain “potentially” toxic, harmful, poisonous, and even carcinogenic, cancer-causing ingredients and they may be in your toothpaste, shampoo, mouthwash, saving cream, skin care, feminine products, and more……..

Many commonly used products contain potentially harmful ingredients, which are made up of very small molecules that may penetrate the skin, enter the blood stream, and build up in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and tissues.

The glossy images we're fed by the media hide a dangerous secret: Most of our toiletries, even the "natural variety", are made from the same harsh chemicals used for industry".

Neways ingredients are pure healthy safe ingredients that work. You will notice a visible difference and even feel different using these products!  Your health will be enhanced, by using safe ingredients as well as by not using harmful products.

Did you know:

  • that the European Union bans 1100 harmful or potentially harmful  ingredients,

  •  the U.S. Government bans 10 and

  • Neways chooses not use more than 3000. 

  • All ingredients are triple tested to be sure they are free of carcinogens, toxins, pesticides, chemicals, dioxins, and other contaminates before they are accepted from the supplier.  Standards established by Neways and the Neways Scientific Board are the highest in the industry.  They are never compromised.  Products will be taken off line if ingredients are not available. Inferior ingredients are not an option.

  • Neways formulates and manufactures most of their more than 200 products and has complete control over the quality of their ingredients.

  • Plant-Derived Ingredients

  • No Animal By Products

  • No Alcohol

  • No Artificial dyes

  • No Synthetic Fragrances

  • No Foam Boosters

  • No Thickeners

  • Not Animal tested.

  • No petroleum products.

  • No cheap filler ingredients.

We only use effective, safe ingredients

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) classifies cosmetics and personal care products, but does not regulate them.  In 1938, the FDA granted self-regulation to the Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrance Association (CTFA), the self-appointed industry organization.

With The exception of color additives and a few prohibited ingredients, a cosmetic manufacturer may use almost any raw material as a cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an approval from FDA" ("Prohibited Ingredients", FDA Office of Cosmetics Fact Sheet, Dec. 19, 1994)

What this means is that the industry does not have to account to anyone, not even the FDA.  The direct result of industry self-regulation is that many products on the market today that we use constantly--and worse, products that we UNKNOWINGLY use on our children and even babies in the womb -- are TOXIC

Wayne Stevenson of the FDA Cosmetics Registration Section says that "The cosmetic manufacturers aren't required to submit safety data to the FDA, so we don't really know what sorts of tests they run.  When they run tests, they keep the results in their own files." ("Smelling Good But Feeling Bad", Franz et al, E Magazine Vol. 11, no 1, Jan-Feb 2000)

The FDA must prove in a court of law that a product may be injurious... before the product can be recalled.  The FDA admits they don't have the budget to win in court against the giant cosmetic companies.

The "FDA Consumer Complaints About Cosmetic Products 1999 Annual Report" lists complaints of adverse reactions to brand-name cosmetics and personal care products.  The FDA admits they probably receive only a very small percentage of actual complaints.  58% of these adverse reactions were in the dermatitis/pain/tissue damage categories, and 17% in the nervous system reactions category.  All of the named products were topical (lotions, shaving creams, toothpastes, etc (FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Office of Cosmetics and Colors; "Consumer Complaints for Cosmetics Products 1999 Annual Report"  http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/costop99.html )

GRAS List (Generally Recognized As Safe") is that no one has shown it to be UNSAFE.

A "U.S. News and World Report" article published in 1998 stated "We look good, we smell good, and we have just exposed ourselves to 200 different chemicals a day, through personal care products."  Now, six years later, that number is probably more like 300....

Potentially Harmful or Cancer Causing

INGREDIENTS

DANGERS

 SODIUM  LAURYL  SULFATE

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate bubbly surfactant cleanser allows 40% MORE toxins to enter the LAURETH SULFATE (SLS/SLES) body through the skin!  Harsh irritant, contributes to yeast infections.  May cause hair thinning; Builds up in the heart, liver, lungs, brain.  Contributes to cataracts & improper eye development in children under 6.

Interacts with nitrites in the formula to form the potent carcinogen nitrosamine.  Caused liver & kidney cancer in animal studies.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney & liver abnormalities In animal studies.  May inhibit skin cell growth and be irritating to the skin
*Caution: There are 100’s of synonyms & trademarked names used in store products to hide these & other toxic ingredients.  Note:  Hormone/estrogen mimics/disruptors increase female problems, cancer, and reproductive problems in fetus.

 

*PHTHALATES

Hormone mimic; teratogen (causes fetal damage); Fragrance fixative; ingredient plasticizer, used to make plastics soft;  Dibutyl phthalate is one of several different common phthalates that are routinely NOT listed on labels because they are part of  proprietary fragrances.    Neways products are certified phthalate-free.

TALC (talcum powder)

Dissolves skin’s own natural oils & causes dehydration & dry skin. Blocks pores & holds-in toxins.  Made from crude oil known to contain carcinogens and reproductive disruptors.


GLYCERIN

Unless air humidity is over 65%, glycerin pulls moisture from deeper skin layers to the surface, drying basal layers so cells don’t mature properly & age faster.


FRAGRANCE (undefined mixtures)

These common alternatives to parabens release carcinogenic Formaldehyde:

  • quaternium 15
  • diazolidinyl urea
  • imidazolidinyl urea\

Unique Cancer Risk from Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

Dr Samuel Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, states that mainstream industry cosmetics and personal care products (CPCPs) are the single most important, yet generally unrecognized, class of avoidable carcinogenic exposures for the overwhelming majority of citizens in major industrial nations. The reason for these unique risks reflects a complex of individual and interactive factors such as:

Interaction between different ingredients: even though a specific ingredient might not be in itself a “frank” carcinogen it might be a “hidden” carcinogen that may, under certain conditions, have carcinogenic properties when it combines with other ingredients in a product.

Prolonged duration of exposure: the concern is that daily exposure, over a lifetime, of toxic ingredients, many of which are left on skin, has a cumulative negative effect.

High permeability of skin: the skin is highly permeable to carcinogenic and other toxic ingredients, especially following prolonged exposure.

Effect of wetting agents on skin permeability: the permeability of skin to carcinogens, besides other toxic ingredients, is further increased by the presence of wetting agents or surfactants, probably the most common class of ingredients in the majority of CPCPs.

Bypassing detoxifying enzyme: carcinogens in CPCPs pose greater cancer risks than does food contaminated with carcinogenic pesticides and other industrial carcinogens as they are not detoxified by the liver but reach the general blood circulation without this protective detoxification.

Check the labels of your current products for the following potentially harmful ingredients.  Note the warnings and cautionary statements printed on many of these products.

Toxic Ingredient References
"In accordance with our ingredient paradigm, Neways maintains a list of over 3000 different controversial ingredients that we believe should be avoided in product formulations.  Every year, researchers publish new information about product ingredients.  Neways convenes its Scientific Advisory Board on a regular basis in order to review the science behind certain ingredients and make recommendations on Neways’ usage of those ingredients, in many cases expanding the list of controversial ingredients. When new ingredients are added to our list, it is possible for existing items in Neways’ broad range of products to contain these new controversial ingredients. Neways therefore must begin the reformulation process which can take some time to fully develop and implement.  Unfortunately, due to this ongoing process of discovery, evaluation, and reformulation, Neways may never be 100 percent compliant with the list of controversial ingredients.  We are, however, proud of Neways’ leadership position in the industry as demonstrated by the Neways Ingredient Harmonization Index, and we are confident that Neways' products offer unparalleled safety."
