A study published in Chemosphere involved healthy female participants who eliminated personal care products containing parabens and phthalates for 28 days. Analysis of breast tissue samples before and after this period revealed a significant reversal of cancer-associated phenotypes, including changes in the PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway, autophagy, and apoptotic signaling networks.

These findings suggest that minimizing exposure to xenoestrogens - synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen - can potentially reduce breast cancer risk. Parabens and phthalates, often used as preservatives and fragrance enhancers in cosmetics and personal care products, are known xenoestrogens. By choosing products free from these chemicals, individuals may decrease the likelihood of developing cancer-related cellular changes.

While we love that organic beauty products are made with pure ingredients from plants, flowers and foods, it also means that they’ll go bad more quickly than conventional products. With out preservatives the shelf life of your product shortens.
If you can’t remember how long ago you opened that eye cream or body lotion, do a sniff test. Toss out anything that smells funky, has separated (unless that’s common for that particular product) or has changed color. Just because you can’t smell anything though, doesn’t mean it hasn’t gone bad. A product can still go sour or lose its potency without any noticeable change in appearance, color or smell.
Most products typically expire after 12 months. You can also use our guide below as a general guideline for the shelf life of your beauty products.

Shampoos and conditioners
These products typically stay good for about two years. Make sure to keep water out of them to keep them fresh longer.

Soaps and bath gels
The shelf life for soaps and shower gels is typically one to two years.

Moisturizers
Facial moisturizers typically stay good for six months to one year after opening.

Body lotions
Use up your lotions before six months.

Deodorant
Natural deodorants will start to lose their effectiveness after six months to one year.

Sunscreen
All sunscreen products are required to list an expiration date on their labels.

Mascara, eye creams, eye shadow
Most natural eye makeup stays good for three to six months. Err on the side of caution and use eye products quickly.

Lip balm
Natural lip balms stay good for about one year. Keep in mind tins of lip balm may not stay as fresh, depending on how clean your fingers are digging into them.

Safflower Oil Benefits for Skin Care:
Safflower oil is found to be ideal for improving the quality and texture of skin due to the abundance of linoleic acid. They combine with the sebum in human skin to unclog the pores and reduce rashes and acne. They also facilitate the regeneration of new skin cells, leaving you look younger and gorgeous. Safflower oil act as a lubricant that prevents water from leaving your skin. Thus it locks the moisture for glowing the skin. The oil is capable of softening up dry areas, smooth rough patches, and even alleviate beauty woes, improving both the texture and tone of your skin. It’s mostly used alone or can be added to other oils for a beauty boost.

Safflower oil is less aggravating to skin and contains about 78% of linoleic acid, which is undoubtedly a secret weapon in fighting against acne problems. Linoleic acid, its principal fatty acid, is an essential fatty that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Safflower oil occupies a unique position in that it has the highest level of linoleic fatty acid available commercially.

It is required for ensuring the integrity of plasma membranes and for growth, reproduction, skin maintenance, and general body functioning. The health benefits of conjugated linoleic fatty acids are also attracting interest. The potential therapeutic properties are that it is anti carcinogenic, anti atheroscleratic, growth promoting, avoids appearance of wrinkles, promotes elasticity and lean body-mass enhancing. See less
