If you’ve heard of Susan Jeske it’s probably because she was crowned Ms America in 1997. Susan spent some 20 years of her life as a beauty consultant working for a major cosmetics company, but now has done a 180 degree reversal and tells Americans about the dangers of the chemical and petrochemical ingredients used in modern cosmetics and modern skin care products. She promotes natural skin products and natural cosmetics. What made Susan change?

Susan had some serious skin and health problems a few years ago. In desperation she turned to a holistic doctor who told her about the dangerous chemical ingredients used in cosmetics and skin care products and suggested she discontinued their use. She did discontinue their use and within 2 weeks the health and skin problems were gone. As a result she began to research more about the ingredients which go into modern cosmetics and skin care products.

I’m sure this was a terrible shock to someone who had spent a large part of her life working for a cosmetics company as a beauty consultant, however she was awakened to the rude fact that so many mainstream cosmetics and personal and beauty products are laced with chemical ingredients. Many of these chemical ingredients are totally banned in Europe but few are banned in America. Some of these ingredients are known to cause cancer and some of these ingredients were also causing Susan’s own health problems.

As a result of her researches Susan left the cosmetics company. Now she spends her time touring the country warning consumers about the risks of toxic chemical ingredients in personal and beauty products such as cosmetics and skin care products.

And Susan has even drawn up a list of the 12 most toxic chemicals found in so many of our personal care products. And she urges consumers to look on the label of products to see if any of these 12 toxic chemicals are in them.

Many people, including myself on my website, have been alerting the public for many years to the dangers of the chemicals and petrochemicals used in so many of our personal products today. The FDA makes no effort to control this and is not required to do so, and for this reason this situation gets worse.

Most of these chemical ingredients are used because they are extremely cheap and by using them the companies can dramatically increase their profit margins.

And the sad fact is that there are outstanding natural ingredients used in natural skin products and natural cosmetics. These products are available now and use safe non-chemical ingredients which are very effective and which pose no health risks. However because these ingredients are more expensive than chemical alternatives they are not used in the mainstream products.

But they are used in some excellent high quality natural skin products manufactured by small niche manufacturers who recognize the opportunity to produce safe and effective skin care care products and cosmetics for consumers who understand the risks inherent in modern mainstream personal products.
