Los tóxicos escondidos en los cosméticos | Sara Werner | TEDxBarcelonaSalon


let’s imagine that the simple act of smelling

the perfume of someone who goes through the

street served to suffocate us that the

the dye of our favorite shirt does not

it will irritate both the skin that came to

feel like it’s burning us

that the fact of being exposed to

detergent soap made

we had vomiting and some migraines

terrible

this is the chemical sensitivity

multiple in those who have it have

as one they detect the chemicals that

they are around us

toxic chemicals that are at our

around and that they do that can be

we do not see them and not the

we detect but that are affecting

our health and we will ask why

because I’m explaining all this because

well my mother suffers from sensitivity

multiple chemistry and his illness me

conscientió to know that really

We are exposed to toxic chemicals

around us and that little by little

we notice or we do not notice we are affecting

to the health of all but you

you will ask what exactly is a

chemical that is exactly a toxic

Well, if we go to the rae, we’ll see what

it tells us that it is an adjective that

means that it is poison that contains no

means this that is talking about

poison and poisons can us

poison in many ways and in

different degrees

that’s why we could have a dermatitis

asthma a reproductive problem and even

such dangerous diseases as

Cancer

when we talk about toxic substances

and we think about the air

we imagine so good against

nation when we take this to the

feeding

we are talking about pesticides but that

we know about toxics in cosmetics

what we know is that the cosmetics

we use from well small of that

we are can you put on gels creams

for diaper wipes but in addition

every day although it seems unthinkable

every day we women put on

average 17 products every day and

men are between six and seven

products

I will also tell you two things that

you have us or maybe you do not know a

is that the skin is the most

great of our body and that in addition

60% of the substances that go into

our body they do it through the

skin and not for what we eat or so

that we read and that when these

ingredients these substances inside

our body that we know about this well

we know that there are 12 thousand ingredients

chemicals in cosmetics and these

12,000 chemical ingredients we know

that 2,400 have been analyzed and of

these two thousand 400 that we have found out

Well, if we take all the

environmental information of the

world health organization

European union and the fd a we know that

1,200 are considered toxic

1,200 of 2,400 saying the other thing

way one in two

one out of every two ingredients studied

They are considered toxic to

down really because we also have

to think what the European Union says

the american fd and the organization

global health

how we got here how is it

possible that perhaps there is a one theory of

the conspiracy and they want us

stop all calm that there is not

after the second world war

cosmetics experienced a boom in the

moment then we went for a cosmetic

little one make one with a phenomenon of

masses at that time we had to pass

of a manual manufacture and

rudimentary and also well then

from short runs to a manufacturing

industrial to be able to do this

we needed three effects or three

products that are the stabilizers that

what helped us was to balance

the formulations two what are the

preservatives that helped us the

durability of those ingredients and three

the synthetic ingredients because

they replaced the ingredients

natural and this made it cheaper

moss the product of tdl the product

well if we put these three factors together

What we do is get a

product that is durable and stable and

cheap

obviously he got the biggest of the

better wills because this

it responded to what we needed in

that moment but nobody stopped

think what effects our

health but good

in this way we come to today and

you will ask is that perhaps there is no

nobody who is regulating this does not

there is an entity an organism that is

managing in this case if I tell you that

yes as if I tell you that I would not be

lying if because yes it is

regularized

in fact there is a list called

the ritz list that is where you agglutinate

all the chemical ingredients that

want to be in the market to be

in this list you have to spend three

tests one that is the general toxicity

what is telling us is what

level

this chemical is lethal in what is the

of the second

the second test is the eco taxi city

that what he is telling us is what

same as we said before but the

biodiversity and on land and

third test are safety tests

chemistry and physicochemical that this

What it does is inform us of

characteristics of the ingredients

chemicals like for example the point of

boiling

this step is very important because

first time we have a place where

they are regularizing the ingredients

chemicals but it’s not enough because

these tests do not have as much to do

with our health

why when we think about continuing then

he said that when he talked about not

are regularized is because I do not

they are as they should be

that’s why I return to the rich list because

she is ready

was born in 2005 as a project that

it was driven by the community

international scientific and he what

They wanted was to control and study

chemicals and exposure to them

because we are talking about chemistry

exposure to a chemical is not so

easy as I wear it and see what happens

not in fact that is the result of that

exposure can be because I wear a

little tomorrow I put for another

little bit for months I put a little

for years I put a little bit and this is

called the cumulative effect because

we are also talking as he said of

chemistry and the concept comes into play

of the cocktail effect is to say today I wear

some shampoo a deodorant and a

cream

this enters my body mixes and it

converts to x and obviously we have to

take into account the time effect and these

three variables are not regularized

it is why we find

examples like the ones I’m going to talk about

in terms of toxicity problems in

how much the example that was being talked about

of the cumulative effect

we talk about talc is such a

ingredient that this or all

ourhouses

at some point he has been in all

ourhouses

well in 2016 the first one arrives

firm sentence to johnson johnson’s

through the network because of the relationship between

talcum powder with regular use

for more than 20 years in the area

female genital cancer

ovary

this information this relationship network

between ovarian cancer and dust

talc is known since 1971 and nobody made

nothing as far as the example of the effect

cocktail I’ll talk in 2012

mercadona him and I withdraw from his

market 11 products because there were two

ingredients inside that yes those

products that could not go together that

are the cracks not the mine and the bronco

paul these ingredients when you

they mix they generate nitro nitrosamines that

they are carcinogenic

and I ask you knew that these

ingredients separately in products

separated when they enter our in

our body generate these

carcinogenic nitrosamines

not really knowing this because it

allows because nobody is regularizing

that I can put on and also

can put b even if separately and

to talk about the time effect I want you

talk about an ingredient that is very

controversial because both the one of fedea

as the world organization of

health as the European Union does not

considers today as a

toxic ingredient that are the

parabens but I have to tell you what a great

part of the scientific community

so he considers them suspicious of

alter the good system

the proper functioning of the system

hormonal

this alteration of the good system

hormone has been known for more than 25

years is the cause of evolution and

and the development of diseases so

dangerous as breast cancer

great scientists like and in addition to

very prestigious as filippa of

hungry

the doctor was hungry in her

studies regarding breast cancer

have found that nine out of ten

studied cases have been found

remains of parabens knowing this

Correlation between parabens and cancer

of breast because these ingredients are

in deodorants

how can it be knowing this now you are going

to understand why almost all

Cosmetics manufacturers are

eliminating these ingredients from their

products but this is simply the

helix see is the tip of the iceberg

you remember that 12,000 have been talked about

ingredients

what happens if we subtract the 2,400 we

we’re left with 9,600 what’s up with this

It is happening because this happens with that

we meet every day with articles

like the ones we’re going to see

efe tells us campaign so that

cosmetics companies reveal the

Lead levels playground poisons e

invisible poisonous and invisible like that

they are the chemicals that go crazy

our hormones the plastic country

even in cosmetics the Spanish

nutella and kinder johnson and johnson and

other alerts for substances

cancerous the primar keys the

newspaper the most common disinfectant

the triclosan sure you have

listened because they have said it until the

satiety is appearing the waters and

contaminating the algae

according to a study if it contaminates the algae

and the waters are not polluting

us but do not think that all

These articles

I measure the newspaper library and the year

catapun are not 2017 I’m not sure

seeing everyone and I think half of

you are thinking

get my house I will take all the

I’m going to throw them away and I do not want to

know nothing about all this and the other half

you have entered a loop and I am

saying let yourself go, I do not want to know

nothing of all this of something I have to

worth dying I bring good news

you remember those 1,200

ingredients that were studied

and that were healthy

well since a few years ago there is a

series of international initiatives

as the environmental working group in

U.S

the moment the movement free from in

united kingdom or cocoon atc in in europe

that I am proud to direct and

cofound that we are revolutionizing this

sector revolutionizing why then

because we are creating by manufacturing

Analyzing and selling 100% products

toxic-free because there is no longer

excuse

there is no excuse for cosmetics

be toxic is that cosmetics now

same is the cosmetics this we are

speaking right now is the new

Cosmetics is healthy sustainable

cruelty free durable and besides it’s so or

more effective in cosmetics

conventional well when I finish this

talk is what will happen

you’re going to all get home and you’re going to

want to go to our bathroom and know what

hides behind you and from

your cosmetic products

do not worry, I will not let you

alone at that moment to know which

they are good and what are bad

so I ‘ve brought you a little

gift that is the environmental working

group has a search engine in which

We can see the ingredients and know

what information do we have of them

you only have to go online

put www.wdl.org bar skin deep and

here you can find a bar in the

which you simply have to put the

ingredient as you see it in the

label and that will tell us

well on the one hand we see in red

here because a whereabouts has been put

you want the information we will see a

classification of the toxicity of that

ingredient that we can see it going

from scratch and in green as totally

harmless boldness and 10 as toxic and

highly problematic

we also see general information of

all of everything this ingredient is

as we can see in this case

you see below that puts in doctrine of his

author is an endocrine disruptor like os

I was commenting before and also a very

interesting that is that you can see

all the studies that support the level

of toxicity that you have indicated

obviously general information of the

ingredient and others

I hope this information is there when

come home after this talk

or help but well my mother my

mother took me here made me

raise awareness of all this and I hope

that today with this talk I can help you

raise others’ awareness because this is

true this is happening every day

we are seeing and it is something that affects

all to the health of each one of us

that’s why I’m going to ask that now that you know

the truth that you know that this is true

that is not something that we are listening to but

that really is something that affects every

one of us I ask you are going to look

to the other side or are you going to help me

convince to fight the toxic

thank you very much

the cans
