The Effect of Skin Care Product on the Environment

The use of skin care products is making a huge impact on the environment. The EPA has identified traces of shampoos, perfumes, antibiotics, hormones and just about every other skin care chemical in rivers, waterways, and even in some tap water samples throughout the United States.

The exposure of skin care products may be more chronic than exposure to pesticides and other industrial chemicals because skin care products are constantly infused into the environment wherever humans lie or visit. We use them everyday of our lives and everywhere we go. By using natural skin care products we can reduce the amount of chemicals going down our drains and contaminating our environment. Skin Care products are starting to be considered as an emerging contaminant for the environment along with prescription drugs, pesticides and other substances.

Not only does skin care ingredients have an impact on the environment but all the packaging that goes along with it. The skin care industry is a huge industry that requires not only packaging but boxing, shipping, inks, transportation and production process. It is about finding companies who do what they can to have a "zero" foot print mentality in ordor to have environmentally friendly natural skin care products.
