Now the big question: Why is it so important to switch to a Human-Friendly skincare company?

Well, the chemicals mentioned earlier are extremely harmful, hazardous to health, and are capable of causing serious threats to your well-being. These chemicals seep through your pores and into your bloodstreams, that leads them directly to your organs like kidneys, liver, breasts etc. Additionally, these toxins have other synonymous names too, so the rule of thumb is: If you can't pronounce the name, don't use it.

Let's take a closer look at each chemical and its effects to your skin and body.

1. Parabens are one of the leading causes for hormonal imbalance(s) in your bodies. Also, research is being conducted regarding the connection between parabens and breast cancer!

2. Alcohol increases skin aging and wrinkles, while inducing skin erosion (loss of epidermis- outer layer of skin)

3. Phthalates is a chemical being connected to several health hazards like breast cancer, reproductivity issues, and ADHD
