Nanoparticle cosmetic creams safety warning
- Text size
Tiny particles that may be toxic are being used in beauty creams without proper safety testing, a consumer group has claimed.
Ben Leach / London Telegraph | November 7, 2008
Nanoparticles, which are 80 times thinner than a human hair, are used by firms including Boots, The Body Shop, Avon, Nivea and Unilever, especially for UV filters in sunscreens.
Some manufacturers believe the technology can deliver the benefits of products in a more effective way.
But critics say the size of the particles may allow them to permeate protective barriers in the body, such as those surrounding the brain or a developing baby in the womb.
Their scale also changes the way they interact with other cells, which might lead to unforeseen toxic effects.
Following a report which raised concerns that some firms are not declaring their use of nanoparticles, Which? has called for the technology to be banned unless it is proved to be safe.

It’s the same problem with the implanted chip. It’ll make you sick first then kill you.

It’s the same with most every product. Of course they’re not properly tested. If the NWO could, they would never test anything, they would just tape a hose to your mouth and have Monsanto pump in pesticides.

Apparently, the victimization/experimentation upon women through cosmetics has a history. Aluminum compounds in eyeliner are commonplace today. It is disturbing that through osmosis this element will easily reach the central nervous system in high quantities. (the eyes are part of the brain). This 1858 article from Scientific American illustrates how little has changed regarding the production of dangerous cosmetics.

YEARS BACK IT WAS REPORTED MINUTE TRACES OF LEAD IN LIPSTICK. HAIR SPRAY CAN’T BE GOOD FOR YOU EITHER. DEODORANT AS WELL.
