Dangerous cosmetics for wombs

Face powders with xenoestrogens

  • So far I have  have noticed that Titanium Dioxide and Talc are the danger products in most face powders.
  • Titanium Dioxide is found in the earth’s crust. You would think it would be fine, but it is a carcinogenic in loose powders and a hormone disruptor.
  • Check your face powder is safe on EWG and Endocrine Disruptor Website.
  • Then send them to me so I can keep this website up to date, and we can help other women to stay safe.
  • Talc has been known to contain asbestos. Johnson & Johnson currently have thousands of lawsuits against them for asbestos related illnesses. “Studies have found that the use of talcum powder in post-menopausal women increases their chances of developing endometrial cancer by 21-24% depending on the frequency of usage of talcum powder. Regular usage of talcum powder correlated with a higher chance of developing  uterine cancer”. (Source: https://mesowatch.com)
