In recent years we have researched the health problems caused by shampoo, sunscreen, soap, underarm deodorants and tampons. The dangers of these products stems from both chemical toxicity and their interference with beneficial bodily processes. However, there is another class of products that needed to be addressed: makeup.
Now we know that there are a lot of men in the audience but I seriously encourage all of them to watch this video for a couple of reasons. The first is that they can share this information with those important females in their lives whether they be wives, partners, daughters or mothers. The second is that male products such as shaving creams, aftershaves, and cologne can also be equally toxic.
In this video I outline some of the most toxic ingredients that are found in these products and why some are not even disclosed by the manufacturers. We will also expose production contaminants and how combinations of certain compounds can enhance toxicity. And finally I will share my easy solution to the whole problem.

For a 100% natural/chemical free shampoo and conditioner, I recommend Tate’s.

I don’t know anything about makeup. But if Dr Sam recommends MGNaturals its got to be safe. I was surprised to hear her back a makeup company and using it herself.
Dr Sam is stunningly beautiful but she is much more than a ‘pretty face’ She is one smart cookie. ☺️.
Oh dear!
My wife was very much into this, finding a source not far from where we lived. Once though a conditioner had guar gum in it that caked against her head like cement. It took petroleum solvent at her hair salon to to get it out! I assume they found out and stopped that formulation, but that was a hard lesson, hopefully not very common.
hi dr sam, another great video. i thought i was using a natural product but now i’ll have to have a look. it is ‘inika’ was nz owned but now i believe australian owned. did you come across this in your research?
you’re hair looks amazing by the way especially knowing you don’t use shampoo anymore. i am still to brave that one! ☺️
