what are parabens?
Parabens are a group of chemicals that are used as artificial preservatives in cosmetics, foods and personal care products. The main goal in adding these chemicals is to prevent the growth of bacteria and ultimately elongate the product shelf life. However, many studies suggest that parabens can disrupt hormones in the body and negatively impact fertility and reproductive organs, affect birth outcomes, and increase the risk of cancer.

Phthalates are a family of man-made chemical compounds used in the manufacture of plastics, solvents, and personal care products. These colorless, odorless, oily liquids are absorbed into the human body and can have negative impacts on the reproductive and hormone system, and increase cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

what does GMO mean?
GMO stands from genetically modified organisms. This refers to plants and other organisms whose genetic makeup has been modified to make them more resistant to herbicides or pests, or to boost their nutrient content. The main concerns around GMOs involve allergies, cancer, and environmental issues. Current research suggests few risks however more long-term research is still needed.
