5 Hidden Toxins in Everyday Skincare You Should Avoid

Intro

Most skincare shelves are filled with lotions and creams that promise hydration — but many contain hidden ingredients that do more harm than good. Here are 5 toxins you should look out for, and why choosing natural alternatives makes all the difference.

Mineral Oil (Petroleum Jelly)

Derived from petroleum, mineral oil coats skin in a barrier but doesn’t nourish. It can trap toxins and disrupt natural skin function.

Parabens

Preservatives linked to hormone disruption and skin irritation.

Synthetic Fragrances

Often a blend of undisclosed chemicals that trigger allergies and sensitivities.

Phthalates

Used to make products flexible or long-lasting, but studies link them to hormonal imbalances.

Silicones

Creates a silky feel but builds up on the skin, clogging pores over time.
