Why Should I Use Skincare Without BHT or BHA?

In this 8 part series, we are going to address some of the common toxins used in skincare and cosmetics.

Many beauty and skin care products on the market are full of hidden chemicals. If you want to be healthy and still have good skin, you may be wondering, is it possible?

Yes, just like you can swap out harsh cleaning products and get rid of toxic food, you can change out your skin care.

Under current law, the FDA doesn’t require cosmetics companies to conduct safety assessments on their products. Harmful ingredients can be easily masked under confusing or deceptive titles like “fragrance.” They may even be listed, plain and simple, on the label, but with no messages to inform consumers of their potentially harmful effects.

It’s vital to think about what you’re putting on your skin. Your pores absorb what you put on them—they don’t know any better!

So let’s talk about some toxic chemicals and how to get healthy with our beauty routines!

What are Butylated Compounds (BHT, BHA)?

This is another unhealthy ingredient that’s thrown into our products so we can keep them on our shelves for a longer period of time. BHA and BHT are used as preservatives in dozens of products.

They are found in foods

• chips
• baked goods
• butter
• meats, sausage, poultry
• chewing gum
• vegetable oils
• beer

And in your makeup and skin care products

• eyeliners, eye shadows
• lipsticks, lip glosses,
• blushes, foundations
• perfumes
• moisturizers
• skin cleansers
• diaper creams

What do they do?

These chemicals are endocrine disruptors, may induce skin allergies, and are linked to organ, developmental, and reproductive toxicity.

The E.U. prohibits the use of BHA as a fragrance and the European Commission on Endocrine Disruption lists it as a Category 1 priority substance due to evidence that it interferes with hormonal function. No thank you!

There’s evidence that suggests that BHT mimics estrogen, which can throw off hormonal function in both men and women. In some situations, this additive can promote the growth of tumors.

Both BHT and BHA bioaccumulate. Given the wide variety of food and cosmetic products they are used in, accumulation over time could lead to serious health consequences. Avoid these ingredients, and turn to products with natural preservatives instead, like aspen bark extract and vitamin E.

Can you read the label?

It is tough to find a product that you can understand the ingredients. There are so many things out there!

We recommend Rain Revri. The first of its kind made with Seed oils, plant extracts, and Seed stem cells. It has the highest natural concentration in the world at 98.7%.
