1. Watch out! The anti-aging creams you apply religiously might actually accelerate aging and
menopause. Commercially manufactured cosmetics and personal care products contain a family of
chemicals called xenoestrogens, which behave the same way as the natural estrogens produced in the
body. The problem is that xenoestrogens get stored in your fat, and a concentration of this chemical in
your body can cause a hormonal imbalance which can trigger early perimenopause. Natural cosmetics
can prevent the harmful effects of xenoestrogens because they do not contain artificial preservatives,
coloring, or fragrances.

Chemicals in your cosmetics
Did you know that the xenoestrogens found in cosmetics are far more potent than the ones found in
food? That's because absorbing these chemicals through skin contact allows them to invade the tissues
instead of being filtered by the liver. Most cosmetics, toiletries, and personal care products contain a
host of xenoestrogens, including PABA, phthalates, homosalate, 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor, and
octyl-methoxycinnamate. Sunscreens and nail polish were found to have the highest concentration of
these chemicals. Other products like deodorant, hairspray, and toothpaste contain even more
xenoestrogens in the form of compounds like phthalates, parabens, and phenoxyethanol.

Although the chemicals in our cosmetics do constitute a low risk in the sense that they won't cause any
immediate damage, continuous accumulation of these low doses can cause reproductive problems. For
instance, phthalates and PCBs were found to cause infertility in both men and women, early puberty in
girls, and early menopause in women. There's a high chance that your early perimenopause symptoms
are caused by the cosmetics you use.
Use pure cosmetics in perimenopause
Unfortunately, most of the cosmetics industry refuses to reformulate their products and get rid of these
offending chemicals. Xenoestrogens are a cheap way to extend the shelf life of a product, infuse it
with fragrance, and make it colorful and appealing. But do we really need a bottle of shampoo that
will last seven years? Another problem with avoiding xenoestrogens in cosmetics is that unlike the
food industry, there is no regulatory body that can certify if a cosmetic product is 100% organic. A bar
of soap can claim to be "natural" and "organic" without containing a single trace of an organic
ingredient!
So how can you make sure that your cosmetics and personal care products are free from harmful
chemicals? Looking at the ingredients label is one way to start. Avoid products containing parabens,
PABA, phthalates, or other suspicious-looking chemical compounds. Don't be fooled by "natural"
products that contain the ingredient "perfume" or "fragrance" either; "fragrance" can be classified as a
trade secret, which gives the manufacturer the freedom to use whatever ingredient they wish without
being obliged to disclose it to the public. Synthetic fragrance can contain as much as 200 ingredients,
many of these xenoestrogens and allergens.
Another way to examine the safety of a particular cosmetic is to visit cosmeticsdatabase.com and
search for a specific product. Several years ago, a group of concerned women created a
comprehensive database of cosmetics and their ingredients. By typing in the product in question, you
can find out what ingredients were used to make the product and exactly how toxic these ingredients
are.
