The Dirty Dozen...
Ingredients To AVOID In Personal Care Products

What you put on your skin can go into your body to affect your health and sense of well-being -either negatively or positively. You can choose which ... if you know the facts.

As our body's largest organ, your skin is your most important immune defense barrier as well as your largest organ for eliminating waste. Commercial products with harmful petroleum ingredients can plasticize and "constipate" your skin, making germs more likely to get in and toxins less likely to get out of your body. The result: neither you nor your skin are as radiant and healthy as you could be!   

Every day we use products that we think are safe; but the truth is that products are NOT always safe - and manufacturers don't have to tell us so.  Ever since 1938 - when the PDA granted self-regulation to the cosmetics industry - such products can be marketed without government approval of ingredients, regardless of what tests show.  Most of the 25,000 chemicals used have not been tested for long-term toxic effects. In a typical day, you might be exposed to over 200 different chemicals, many of which are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones. EPA tests conclude that ingredients in shampoos, dyes, and other personal care products may be playing havoc with hormones that control reproduction and development.

START CHECKING ALL PRODUCT LABELS:

AVOID THESE HARMFUL, HAZARDOUS 'TOUCH-ME-NOT" INGREDIENTS!

bulletPropylene Glycol (PG) and Butylene Glycol: Found in Anti-freeze. Acts as a "surfactant11 (wetting agent and solvent). Penetrates skin and weakens protein and cellular structure. Strong enough to remove barnacles from boats! The EPA considers PG so toxic that workers are required to wear protective clothing and to dispose of PG by burying it in the ground. PG penetrates the skin so quickly, the EPA warns against contact to prevent brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities. But there isn't even a warning label on products such as stick deodorants, where the concentration is greater than in most industrial applications. 
bulletSodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES).  Detergents that pose serious health threats. Used in garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers - and in 90% of personal-care products that foam. Animals exposed to SLS experience eye damage, depression, labored breathing, diarrhea, severe skin irritation, and even death. Young eyes may not develop properly if exposed to SLS. May damage the skin's immune system. Can be transformed into nitrosamines, a potent class of carcinogens. Your body may retain the SLS for up to five days and maintain residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain. 
bulletDEA (diethanolamine). MEA (Monoethanolaniine) & TEA (triethanolamine): Hormone-disrupting chemicals that can form cancer-causing nitrates. Restricted in Europe due to carcinogenic effects, yet they are still used in the U.S. Americans may be exposed 10-20 times per day with shampoos, shaving creams and bubble baths. Dr. Samuel Epstein (Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Illinois) says that repeated applications of DEA-based detergents result in major increase in liver and kidney cancer. The PDA's John Bailey says, "the risk is significantly increased for children."
bulletSodium Hydroxide; The most recent addition to our personal care products. This is a poison (caustic lye) found in drain cleaners, yet is now found in our children and adult toothpaste!
bullet Triclosan: Synthetic "antibacterial" with a chemical structure similar to Agent Orange! The EPA registers it as a pesticide, giving it high scores as a risk to human health and the environment. It is in a class of chemicals suspected of causing cancer in humans. It may produce dioxin, a hormone-disrupting chemical with toxic effects measured in the parts per trillion; that is only one drop in 300 Olympic-size swimming pools! Hormone disrupters pose enormous long-term chronic health risks. It can change genetic material, decrease fertility and sexual function, and foster birth defects. Internally, it can lead to cold sweats, circulatory collapse, and convulsions. Stored in body fat, it can accumulate to toxic levels, damaging the liver, kidneys and lungs, and can cause paralysis, brain hemorrhages and heart problems. Tufts University School of Medicine says Triclosan can force the emergence of "super bugs" that it cannot kill. Its widespread use in antibacterial cleansers, toothpastes and household products may have nightmarish implications on future generations.
bulletDMDM & Urea (Imidazolidinyl): Two of many preservatives that often release formaldehyde which cause joint pain, skin reactions, allergies, depression, headaches, chest pains, ear infections, chronic fatigue, dizziness, and loss of sleep. Exposure also irritates the respiratory system; triggers heart palpitations or asthma, and aggravates coughs and colds. Other side effects include weakening the immune system and cancer.
bulletPolyethylene Glycol (PEG): Carcinogenic petroleum ingredient that reduces the skin's natural moisture. Increases the appearance of aging and leaves you vulnerable to bacteria. Used in spray-on oven cleaners and cleansers to dissolve oil and grease.
bulletLiutane or Propane: Found in aerosol products. May be narcotic and cause asphyxiation.
bulletAlcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40): Drying, irritating solvent that strips skin's moisture and immune barrier, making you vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. Made from a petroleum derivative found in shellac and antifreeze as well as personal care products. Promotes brown spots and premature aging. A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients says it may cause headaches, flushing, dizziness, mental depression, nausea, vomiting, and coma. Fatal ingested dose is one ounce or less.
bulletMineral Oil: Petroleum by-product that coats the skin like plastic wrap, clogging the pores. Interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promoting acne and other disorders. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Baby oil is 100% mineral oil!
bulletFD&C Color Pigments: Synthetic colors from coal tar that deposits toxins onto the skin, causing skin irritation. Absorption of certain colors can cause depletion of oxygen in the body and death. Animal studies have shown almost all of them to be carcinogenic. 
bulletFragrances: Can contain up to four thousand ingredients (including animal urine), many toxic or carcinogenic. Causes headaches, dizziness, allergic rashes, skin discoloration, violent coughing, vomiting, and skin irritation. Fragrances affect the nervous system, causing depression, hyper activity, irritability, inability to cope, and other behavioral changes.

HEALTH OR HARM

Studies reveal that every single one of us is contaminated with scores of synthetic chemicals that are known to be toxic.1 
In a 2005 Skin Deep report, research found that:

33% of personal care products were linked to cancer

45% were found as possibly harmful to the reproductive system or baby’s development

60% could act like estrogens or disrupt hormones.2

Toxic chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and learning disabilities do not belong in products we use on our bodies.

Q&A

How is Glimpse different from other skin care products?

Glimpse is a green focused topical nutrition for skin featuring exclusive BioActive X3 Complex which utilizes a unique fermentation technology from Japan. It helps in normalizing skin’s own ability to function efficiently and maintain its healthy state with only 4 simple steps.

Key word

BioActive X3 complex – XanGo owns it

Green

Topical nutrition to skin

Unique fermentation technology

I heard Glimpse is a skin care line with a green focus. But what does "green focus" mean specifically?

XanGo selects ingredients from natural sources as much as possible. In addition, XanGo takes an extra step to make sure each ingredient is clean. Upon manufacturing Glimpse, XanGo uses a special blending technology, which creates fewer carbon footprints than the regular kind. So, it is friendly to the environment.

I heard some of the commonly used ingredients in skin care are harsh on skin. Does Glimpse contain any harsh chemicals?

Glimpse is designed to work intuitively with the skin’s natural functions without use of harsh chemicals As a result; the ingredient list will look quite different from common personal care products. XanGo has a strict ingredient philosophy. Glimpse is free from the following ingredients that may be potentially harmful to skin.

Petrochemical
Animal derivative
Sulfates (SLES, SLS, ALS)
Mineral Oil
Carbomer
Phenoxyethanol
Quatemary Ammonium
Petrolatum
Alcohol (like Ethanol, SD Alcohol)
PEGs
Glycols
Silicones
GM (Glyceryl Monostearate)
Formaldehyde donors
Toluene
BHT
Phthalate
Parabens
Ethanolamines i.e. TEA,
DEA
Synthetic dies such as FD&C or D&C colors
Synthetic fragrance
Sodium/Potassium Hydroxide
AMP-95
Potential carcinogens

Does Glimpse use a synthetic fragrance?

Glimpse does not contain any synthetic fragrances. The aroma comes from the blend of BioActive X3 Complex, refreshing yuzu, grapefruit, and calming cucumber. Each ingredient is selected carefully to benefit the skin, but at the same time produces a subtle, natural aroma that dissipates quickly.

What is the best/most important product to use?

Each Glimpse product is formulated to work synergistically. To enjoy the full benefits of Glimpse, we strongly recommend using the full regimen suitable for your skin type.

Is Glimpse for women only?

No. Actually Glimpse™ is for both men and women who are conscious about their skin health.

For men, which moisturizer do you recommend?

The Moisturizing Lotion is the perfect moisturizer for men. It gently exfoliates the skin for a healthy, youthful appearance while keeping the skin hydrated and protected throughout the day.

I heard Glimpse uses mangosteen infused water but what is that?

Instead of using regular purified water for ingredients, we steep mangosteen pericarp powder and transfer phytonutrients from it to purified water. So you can enjoy extra skin benefits from mangosteen.

My skin is very sensitive. Can I use Glimpse™?

Glimpse skin care is designed for sensitive skin. But people have different reactions to skin care products. Sometimes the products you have been using can cause a reaction. If you have a concern, you can try a small amount of the product on your forearm before to see if your skin has any reaction from the products.

How long do products last?

They are all designed for approximately 30-day usage. However each person uses different amounts. So, it may last more or less than 30 days depending on how much product you use.

After opening a product, how soon should I finish it up?

We recommend a product to be used within 12 months after opening. Products should always be stored in a cool storage area to keep it fresh.
