Organic Make-up A very vast and interesting category that Organicshop.in has decided to zoom its lens during our pro-organic cosmetic drive through our campaign Organic Cosmos Week is Make-up. The desire to look beautiful in every woman since the inception of time sky-rocketed the popularity of Make-up in the 19th Century and followed it into new millennium. With numerous additions and improvements in the existing products and product ranges, commercial cosmetic companies have let out all they can in the market these days owing to the fact that how important and sometimes pressurizing it is to look their best. Make-up is THE product category that cuts through irrespective of any profession that a woman is employed. Even if she is an environmentalist, she will take the help of make-up products during a function to look her best without overdoing it. A diamond’s sheen too, will seem redundant to her if her appearance is not well-complimented with the desired Make-up. Having established the importance of Make-Up and its attachment with women, it becomes imperative to educate them. We’ll take you through some frequently used products and the impurity/ toxins/ contaminations present it in it. Sindoor: In Hindu tradition, it is used to denote the mark of a married woman is applied along the parting line of woman’s hair (maang). It is usually blood red in colour and was earlier made of turmeric and alum. But with the advent of synthetic dye industry, a cheaper substitute came into market with manufactures producing it with powdered red lead and mercury sulphite. These toxins when in contact with the skin can cause hair loss, oedema (puffiness of skin) and if inhaled, absorbed or eaten can be detrimental for your brain, lungs and kidneys.
Mascara: One of the favourite make-up product used by woman to make the eyelashes appear attractive. But whenever there is a huge demand for a product there is bound to be knock-offs or counterfeit versions of it in the market. The common adulterants present in it are: Coal tar dyes, Parabens (disrupts estrogen in the body), Aluminium Powder (a neurotoxin), Propylene Glycol ( known to cause skin irritation), Vitamin A acetate (causes cellular level damage). Eyeliner: is used to define the eyes and applied around the contours of eyes whose usage has been dated back to 10000 B.C. Unfortunately with changing times, the ingredients used have seen a transition from natural, herbal to synthetic harmful toxins. Eyeliners have heavy toxic metals in its composition which can cause cancer. Foundations: It is applied to the skin to create an uniformity in complexion, masking the flaws and change the natural skintone as well. Hence they are applied over the face and neck, covering a large portion. The significant toxins present in it are propylene glycol, methylparaben, and propylparaben all which are endrocrine disruptors, neurotoxins—which can turn turn healthy cells into cancerous cells. Lipstick: Is applied onto the lips to make them look attractive and glamorous. As it is a widely popular products, thus adulterants are inevitable to cut costs and generate profits. Common toxins present in it are cadmium, lead, chromium, manganese and lead—all of which are carcinogens, meaning they are known to cause cancers. There are other cosmetics in the market which are compromised with toxins to help facilitate their sale better and nothing else. Your health is not the primary concern for these commercial companies but is a cause of concern for us.
