FORMALDEHYDE AND FORMALDEHYDE-RELEASING PRESERVATIVES



Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (FRPs) are used in many personal care products,[1] particularly in shampoos and liquid baby soaps. These chemicals, which help prevent microbes from growing in water-based products, can be absorbed through the skin and have been linked to cancer and allergic skin reactions.
FOUND IN: Nail polish, nail glue, eyelash glue, hair gel, hair-smoothing products, baby shampoo, body soap, body wash, color cosmetics.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR ON THE LABEL: Formaldehyde, quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, polyoxymethylene urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (bromopol) and glyoxal.
WHAT IS FORMALDEHYDE? Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas used in a wide range of industries and products including building materials, walls, cabinets furniture and personal care products.[2]
WHAT ARE FORMALDEHYDE-RELEASING PRESERVATIVES AND WHERE ARE THEY FOUND?In personal care products, formaldehyde can be added directly, or more often, it can be released from preservatives[3] [4] such as quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, polyoxymethylene urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, bromopol and glyoxal. MORE...
HEALTH CONCERNS: Cancer, skin irritation  MORE...
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: Infants, hair salon workers, nail salon workers.
REGULATIONS: Banned from use in cosmetics and toiletries in Japan and Sweden[37]; in the EU, restricted in personal care products, and labeling is required in products that do contain these chemicals[38]; concentration restrictions in Canada.[39] The EU allows the use of Quaternium-15 up to 0.2% as a preservative in cosmetic products.[40]
HOW TO AVOID: Read labels and avoid products containing the following ingredients: Formaldehyde, quaternium-15, dimethyl-dimethyl (DMDM) hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (bromopol). In addition, choose nail products that are labeled formaldehyde-free or “toxic-trio-free” (formaldehyde, toluene and DBP). Skip hair-smoothing products—especially those sold in salons, as salon-based products are exempt from labeling laws. Don’t use expired cosmetic products or store cosmetic products in the sun because this can cause more formaldehyde to be released.[41]

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

The Breast Cancer Fund stands in opposition to H.R. 2576, the “Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act,” which will be voted on by both houses of Congress this week. Despite three years of intense negotiation by chemical industry and other trade lobbyists versus environmental health and justice advocates, sociall y responsible businesses, and major medical and health associations; this legislation does not meet the promise of federal chemicals management policy capable of fully protecting the public health from unsafe chemical exposures linked to increasing rates of breast cancer and other diseases.

Treatments

Neauvia Organic Dermal Filler

 

Ailesbubry was the first clinic to introduce the worlds first revolutionary Organic Dermal Filler – Neauvia into Ireland and Dr. Patrick Treacy is European KOL for this product  
Neauvia is the first and the only Organic Dermal Filler line offering a natural look and minimizes the risk of adverse reactions.
Neauvia Organic is manufactured using hyaluronic acid produced by a non-pathogenic strain of Bacillus subtilis, which is targeted at increasing the safety of treatments and allows to avoid reactive responses caused by protein residues.

Neauvia Uses

Neauvia is suitable for both woman and men of different ages. It can help with deep folds around the mouth and nose, sunken cheeks, facial scars, deep acne scars and loose skin.
Neauvia Organic Dermal Filler Range has been developed for filling loss of tissue and to stimulate collagen production in the face & body.

Face

  • Smoothing fine, moderate and deep lines and wrinkles, including; Naso-labial folds, marionette lines, crows feet, tear trough.
  • Lip Augmentation
  • Cheeking volume

  • Stretch Mark Reduction

Neauvia Safety

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that forms the structure of tissues and contributes to optimal functioning of many organs in the human body. HA is widely used in medicine and pharmacology due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability and various biological functions.
Therefore, purity of hyaluronic acid is extremely important when it comes to safe human use. Acid obtained through Bacillus subtilis assures such purity. In a special purification process, which is conducted in water, hyaluronic acid produced by Bacillus subtilis is released directly to the medium.
The use of the Bacillus subtilis bacteria in the production of hyaluronic acid allows obtaining a perfectly purified product that does not cause hypersensitive response and hence is absolutely safe for the human body.
The Neauvia Organic dermal filler range also is unique as it the only dermal filler to be crosslinked with PEG. PEG is a well-known polymer on the pharmaceutical market, but was used for the first time in filler production by Neauvia. It is not only non-toxic, but also reduces the action of the proteolytic enzymes and immunogenicity of the substance to which it is added.

From Acne to Psoriasis, Salicylic Acid Does it All

According to research, there are many benefits of salicylic acid and skincare.
Derived from the bark of a willow tree, salicylic acid is a naturally occurring beta hydroxyl. With the same medicinal benefits of aspirin, salicylic acid can relieve skin redness and inflammation in unsightly skin conditions.
While the ingredient comes in many doses and forms like gels, wipes, creams and sprays to treat less invasive skin conditions, patients who suffer from oily skin that deeply clogs pores are often given a potent peel with straight salicylic to clean out the skin.
Noted for the same anti-inflammatory ingredients as aspirin, WebMd warns consumers of possible dangers, stating “people who are allergic to salicylates (found in aspirins) should not use products with salicylic acid,” especially when pregnant since it enters the bloodstream. The popular medical website explains that while dermatologists can prescribe salicylic acid, the cure can also be purchased in lesser doses over the counter.
Available in different percentages and most often found in cosmetic astringents and applied topically, salicylic acid also acts as an exfoliator for psoriasis and seborrheic skin conditions. A Livestrong.com report states “salicylic acid is a beta hydroxyl that is effective when used for exfoliation and there are several ways to use salicylic acid.”
After suggesting acne creams that contain salicylic acid, the report cites Revolution Health’s claim that salicylic acid “exfoliates skin and can improve texture and color of the skin. It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and as a result, also helps with acne.”
By cleansing follicles of excess naturally produced oils in the skin, salicylic acid has been found to wipe out whiteheads and break down blackheads. Promoted on television, Proactiv has stood its ground for almost a decade, curing millions of unsightly skin. The popular product promotes lactic acid as well, claiming the decongestant alpha hydroxyl acid helps clear out skin of unwanted oils.
Though it doesn’t burn, National Institutes of Health (NIH) information service MedlinePlus article explains that skin may become dry or irritated at the beginning of acne treatment with salicylic acid and, if so, should be applied less often. That is why it is so important to contact one’s dermatologist or physician before deciding to interject the ingredient into a daily skincare regimen, rather than find out too late that salicylic acid is too hot for you to handle.
