Its true that women use cosmetics to cause infertility

Whether cosmetics cause infertility or not has been a subject of controversy for many years. Because studies show harm to the fertility of certain cosmetics. But there is also evidence that it is only harmful when overdose or cosmetics are floating of unknown origin.

Cosmetics can not cause infertility?

The use of cosmetics affecting pregnancy has been passed down for generations of women. Pregnant mothers, whether they want to or not, still have to limit makeup  or use many skin-care chemicals. In terms of "spirituality", the ancient people said that makeup during pregnancy "destroys" the baby, especially the baby girl at birth.

And scientific research has shown that some ingredients in cosmetics of unknown origin, when used regularly, can alter reproductive hormones, causing infertility.

 

Pregnant women are often advised not to wear makeup during pregnancy

Warnings were heightened as more and more unknown cosmetics emerged on the market. Or cheap cosmetics, fake cosmetics, big brands, full of dangerous ingredients. Research in the US was conducted on 143 healthy women aged 18 - 44 years old, not menopausal and not taking birth control pills. The results showed that chemical exposure from cosmetics increased abnormal levels of the production hormones estrogen and progesterone, causing fertility problems.

What ingredients in cosmetics can cause infertility?

According to dermatologists, some toxic ingredients contained in unknown cosmetics can affect the reproductive function of the sexes. Include:

Cosmetics contain parabens

Parabens are known as the common name for the group of chemical preservatives that are most widely used in cosmetics. Paraben is found mostly in lotions, shaving creams, shower gels, and many cosmetics because of its convenience and budget. Even some major cosmetic brands also use parabens in their production.

In Vietnam, the Ministry of Health has warned about cosmetics containing paraben preservatives and revoked many names. The reason is that parabens have the ability to stimulate the hormone estrogen, increasing the ability to cause breast cancer in women and reducing sperm count in men.

However, there's also quite a bit of controversy, it's not that parabens are always bad. Studies have also shown that only large amounts of parabens are used and that it can have no health consequences. So just limit the use of cosmetics that contain a lot of parabens or find benign cosmetics, not necessarily give up skin care or shaving.
