Do your personal care products & makeup affect your health?

I didn't used to be so aware, I just chose to use Tropic products since I really liked them,  had very sensitive skin and didn't react to them.  I was shocked, however,  when a study in America showed that removing products with pthalates, parfums, parabens etc, from the personal care products of people for 28 days recovering from breast cancer, reduced malignant cells. Reference below. This is not the only study you will find.

​

What I didn't know until recently, was that pthalates are routinely added to 'perfumes' in products to make the scent last longer. So they may well not be listed on the ingredients' list.

​

The upshot is, to look after your health, look at what you put in your body, on your body and the artificial scents & perfumed candles you might find around your home. 

​

There are simple things to do, too, like safely make your own, 'chemical-nasty-free' products and avoid plastics for example.  

​

Or you can choose an expert brand like Tropic, that's multi-award winning,  made with natural ingredients, based in the UK, that is founded on sustainability and eco-consciousness that is deliberately free of pthalates, parabens and petrochemicals.
