Nail polishes
* THPH has been banned in the EU since 2004,but still can found in nail polishes in the USA.
* DnBP, toluene and formaldehyde have been linked to conditions such as infertility, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and even certain cancers, like breast.
* Exposure to these chemicals while pregnant puts you at a higher risk of miscarrying and the baby at risk for physical and mental birth defects. The defects may include preterm birth, increased chances of miscarriage, learning problems and cognitive impairment, behavioural issues and even damage to the kidney, brain and the nervous system.

Some clean nail polish brands are Zoya, Ella + MilaPiggy Paint, Pacifica, Essie, Cote etc

Hair relaxers
Nearly 80 percent of hair products aimed at black women contain chemicals linked to cancer, infertility and obesity. The use of hair relaxers has also been linked to increased risk of endometriosis (uterine tissue abnormally grows outside the uterus) and often causes female infertility.

Make up products
Non-toxic cosmetics brands made with natural ingredients and are free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates are: BareMinerals,OLEHENRIKSEN, Au naturale,kosas,juice beauty, Aveda etc

Toothpastes
Examples of clean non-toxic brands include: Native,David’s, Longrich.

We need to give a thought about the safety of any product before we use them. Excess use of cosmetics can reduce your chances of conceiving drastically and can be disastrous to pregnancy and owing to their serious effects on the reproductive organs. Avoiding use of such chemicals is advisable, even after conception, continued excess usage can cause miscarriage and birth defects.
