The American noncommercial organization Environmental Working Group (EWG) has published a special instruction for cosmetics consumers where specified toxic components which should be avoided in cosmetics, make-up and cosmetics for children.
To avoid negative reactions to a skin and not to destroy the health, it is necessary, first of all, to be able to read labels in that part where the ingredients of cosmetics are listed. Search as a part of cosmetics the names of materials which are considered as the toxic.
LABELS' READING RULES
Components which it is necessary to avoid
1. Begin with the end of list where the preservatives usually are. Avoid to buy cosmetics with the following ingredients:
- Components in which termination there is a word "paraben": methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben etc.
- DMDM hydantoin
- Imidsazolidinyl urea
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Triclosan
- Triclocarban
- Triethanolamine (or "TEA")
2. Then look in the beginning of the list. Avoid buying products which contain ingredients beginning with an abbreviation "PEG". Then search for substances which are ending with "-eth" laureth, ceteareth etc.
3. At the very end of the list find designations "FRAGRANCE/PARFUM," "FD&C", "D&C" and "CI"
COSMETICS FOR CHILDREN
1. Avoid using children's powders, especially for newborns
2. Read labels. Do not use cosmetics which structure includes following components: - 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1, 3 Diol.
- BHA
- Boric acid
- Sodium borate
- Dibutyl phthalate & toluene
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Oxybenzone
- Triclosan
Besides rules of reading of labels, EWG makes recommendations for choice a various kind of cosmetics, stopping on what components should be avoided.
Shampoos and conditioners:
- DMDM Hydantoin - causes an allergy and irritation can form nitrosamines, provoking cancer occurrence.
- Fragrance - cause allergic reactions, can contain the toxic substances destroying nervous and hormonal systems.
- Ceteareth - and PEG are petrochemicals which can contain the various impurity causing cancer tumors.
Shower gels, personal hygiene products:
- Triclosan - destroys endocrine system, in contact with tap water forms toxic products.
- DMDM Hydantoin - - causes an allergy and irritation can form nitrosamines, provoking cancer occurrence.
- Fragrance cause allergic reactions can contain the toxic substances destroying nervous and hormonal systems.
Toothpaste:
- Fluoride is toxic for nervous system, causes dimness of the teeth.
- Triclosan - destroys endocrine system, in contact with tap water forms toxic products.
- PEG is petrochemicals which can contain the various impurity causing cancer tumors.
Sun screeners
- Oxybenzone - under the influence of sunlight and ultra-violet beams can make substances which cause an allergy or cancer tumors.
- DMDM Hydantoin - causes an allergy and irritation can form nitrosamines, provoking cancer occurrence.
- Triethanolamine is serious allergen. Can contain carcinogenic substances.
- Avoid buying the sun screeners packed in sprays.
- Use as sun-protection creams which contain not less than 7 % zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Face skin cosmetics
-DMDM Hydantoin
- Fragrance
- Ceteareth and PEG
- Hydroquinone - causes irritation, contains substances harmful to an organism.
- Do not use anti-ageing cream if they contain: Lactic acid, Glycolic acid, AHA, BHA.

Cosmetic safety
Allergy drugs will cure a diabetes and adiposity.
It is not so often possible to meet an immunology mentioned along with type 2 diabetes.
However scientists from Harvard Medical School researchers have gone on this way, applying a medicine against an allergy to adiposity and diabetes treatment. The medications Zaditor and ?romolyn stabilize a population of inflammatory immune cells called mast cells.
Other research has shown that regulatory T cell; provide communication between metabolic and immune systems, being responsible for inflammatory processes in fat tissue. The fat tissue at mice with stability to insulin differs decrease in level of these cells, in comparison with high quantity of macrophages (they develop the inflammatory substances burning hostile cells).
At type 1 diabetes immune cells attack pancreas cells, reducing insulin generation. At type 2 diabetes body cells, as a result of metabolism infringement, become deaf to the signals of insulin, stimulating consumption of glucose.
Mast cells facilitate healing of the damaged tissues, allowing improving of the blood-groove. However their surplus leads to leak molecular "garbage" into the tissue, causing inflammatory processes. Still earlier scientific have found out that the fat tissue of mice with a diabetes contains surplus of these cells.
For hypothesis check they began to give to mice allergy drugs, having divided rodents into four groups: control, group of a healthy food and group of two preparations, in one of which mice also was limited in a food. The third group has considerably dumped weight and has improved indicators of stability to insulin. In the fourth group the absolute recovery was observed. Then scientists have bred mice, whose bodies do not generate mast cells, and it has appeared that they were steady against a diabetes and adiposity.
Harvard scientists have defined that the lack regulatory T cells in fat tissue of mice with diabetes is the seed of disease. Their quantity was in inverse proportion to quantity of macrophages. Now they assume that the inflammation caused by macrophages, results of resistance to insulin. Regulatory T cells, in turn, serve as an inflammation regulator with normal weight of a body.
