The Hidden Dangers in Your Skincare - Fragrances, Phthalates, Parabens, and Microplastics

A dive into the ingredients lurking in many skincare products, and why it’s crucial to choose safer alternatives.

Fragrances: Up to 3,000 chemicals can be used under the label “fragrance,” and 35% of people report sensitivity to fragranced products. Fragrances have been linked to allergic reactions, skin irritation, and even respiratory issues.

Phthalates: Research has shown that 90% of the population has phthalates in their system. Phthalates can disrupt hormone function, affecting everything from fertility to immune health.

Parabens: Found in about 85% of cosmetics, parabens have been detected in breast cancer tumors, although their exact role remains under study. They’re known endocrine disruptors that mimic estrogen.

Microplastics: More than 8 million tons of plastic end up in oceans each year, with microplastics present in many cosmetics as exfoliants or fillers. These microplastics not only pollute the environment but can also be absorbed by the skin, potentially leading to long-term health effects.

Conclusion: 
Choosing microplastic-free, fragrance-free, and phthalate-free skincare is better for both skin and overall health. Resolv Naturals’ commitment to safe, toxin-free ingredients provides a worry-free skincare solution.
