ARE ANY OF THESE "DIRTY DOZEN" IN YOUR PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS?!

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
(which the "cosmetic conspiracy" wants to
hide from you). As our body's biggest 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 juggling
hormones. EPA tests conclude that
ingredients in shampoos, dyes, and other
personal care products "maybe playing
havoc with hormones that control
reproduction and development.

START CHECKING ALL PRODUCT LABELS:
AVOID THESE HARMFUL, HAZARDOUS
'TOUCH-ME-NOT" INGREDIENTS!

Propylene 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.

Sodium 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.

DEA (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."

Sodium 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!

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.

DMDM & 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.

Polyethylene 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.

Liutane or Propane:
Found in aerosol products. May be
narcotic and cause asphyxiation.

Alcohol, 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.

Mineral 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!

FD&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.

Fragrances:
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.

TESTIMONIES FROM PEOPLE IN SPECIAL MANGOSTEEN PERICARP OIL TEST GROUP FOR GLIMPSE

Testimonies From People In Special Mangosteen Pericarp Oil Test Group

The testimonies below are from
people who are part of a special
mangosteen pericarp oil test group.

Carole Escolano
"Let's put it this way, if the oil were our
ONLY Glimpse product, I could still make a fortune."

Debbie Lumby
"Before using the oil, I had dry puffy eyes.
I seriously thought about surgery.
Now they are back to normal. I don't have to do
surgery now. Some of my brown spots are fading.
I am so excited to get all the products!"

Lorrie Hall
"Where to begin, let me see, the wrinkles
around my eyes are gone. The wrinkles and
bags under my eyes have disappeared. The
deep lines around my nose and mouth are
much smaller in depth. My skin is supple and
fresh looking, instead of looking 75 people tell
me I look in my late 50's or early 60's. What a
great compliment! It has made me change the
way I see myself. Instead of being ravished by
my chemo therapy I see myself as beautiful
once more."

Shannon Wenn
"I have been using Glimpse religiously since
the second week of June. Six weeks later, I have
skin that is noticeably less broken out, smoother
complexion, and less appearance of wrinkles.
I have spent the last 20 years spending a lot of
money trying to get my skin 'under control'.
Nothing has EVER given me the results I am
currently experiencing with Glimpse. People
are mistaking me for 10-20 years younger than
I really am."

Tommy Johnson
"We absolutely love the mangosteen pericarp
oil. It is the ONLY thing that has helped our
son's eczema in the last year that doesn't make
his skin burn. It is soothing and the only thing
he asks for when he is itchy."

Mary Malsbury
"I am grateful for the opportunity to try the
mangosteen pericarp oil on my ankle where I
had Melanoma Cancer last fall. In May it was the
size of a quarter and very raised and red looking.
I have been applying the oil twice a day. It is
looking so much better. The skin has a much
smoother look and with no ridges where they
had to do the skin graph. It is not nearly as red
and the normal skin color is showing through."

Allicia Johnson
"I had sensitive skin and minor acne until I was
24 years old when I went on Accutane. I got my
cosmetologist license at age 21 At age 25 I got
hired to sell Christian Dior cosmetics at Dillards
because I had nice skin and cosmetology
experience. I was able to experiment with all
the lines and got to know what really worked.
I went to several education seminars for Dior
and Lancome. Over the years I got recruited to
freelance for lines such as Estee Lauder,
Bobbi Brown, Chanel and even had some
experience with Armani.
I had two pet products I could not live
without. One was Estee Lauder's Daywear
Plus moisturizer (costs around $40 a jar these
days) and Lancomes Sensation Totale serum,
costing about $75 a bottle. My skin would get
angry if I stopped using them. I used the Lauder
moisturizer religiously for about 9 years. I've
always been careful with what I use on my skin
because its pretty sensitive and prone to breakouts.

Glimpse experience:
Once I began using Glimpse, within 3 days my
skin looked and felt better than it ever has in
my entire life. I was hooked! Over the next 6
weeks or so (this stuff is so concentrated-lasts
FOREVER!!!!!!) I used only Glimpse until I ran
out of the moisturizer.
I reluctantly went back to my old reliable
Lauder moisturizer and Lancome serum. As
soon as I put the Lauder on my skin was mad.
I felt it drying out and my skin felt like wax-
I was amazed! I used the Lauder for about
2 weeks out of necessity until I was able to
get a replenishment of Glimpse.

Within 3 minutes of using the Glimpse my skin
went back to what it was when I'd been using it.
I used it over the weekend and Yasue noticed a
difference in my skin by the following Monday.
This stuff is incredible!! I'm SO excited about what
will happen once people really give it a try!"
