Kylie Cosmetics products are made with oxybenzone, a chemical with high reproductive toxicity and immunotoxicity… clueless youth think it makes them look beautiful

03/15/2019 / By Ethan Huff / Comments

One of the alleged “perks” of using Kylie Jenner’s “Kylie Cosmetics” line of makeup products is that they’re supposedly a cut above the rest. But a closer look at the chemical ingredients hiding behind all the marketing hype reveals that Kylie Jenner is selling what can only be described as toxic garbage to masses of unsuspecting and gullible youth who idolize her every move.

One such ingredient found in a number of Kylie Cosmetics makeup products is oxybenzone, also known as benzophenone-3, a photostabilizer chemical commonly found in cheap sunscreens. According to Truth In Aging, oxybenzone is often blended with other chemical ingredients as both a preservative and an ultraviolet (UV) ray absorber.

Besides its use in sunscreen products, oxybenzone is also added to various other personal care products like nail polish, lotion, and lipstick – including the ever-popular “Kylie Lip Kits” that are sold by Kylie Jenner for about $30 a pop. And according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), oxybenzone isn’t exactly something that humans should be applying to their bodies.

FDA never developed comprehensive standards to assess safety of oxybenzone like agency promised back in 1970s

For one, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn’t evaluated the safety of oxybenzone since the 1970s, which is right around the time when the agency announced that it was in the process of developing comprehensive standards for sunscreen safety. Fast-forward 30 years and the FDA has yet to finalize anything towards this end – meaning oxybenzone and other common sunscreen ingredients remain a mystery in terms of their effects on human health.

At the same time, research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more recently found that nearly every American, or upwards of 97 percent of the population, currently has oxybenzone inside their bodies – which isn’t a good thing, considering the chemical has been associated with endocrine (hormone) disruption, allergies, and cell damage.

Oxybenzone has also been scientifically linked to damaging coral reefs. Even in the smallest amounts, oxybenzone interferes with coral reef DNA, causing it to mutate or die.

Being a “photocarcinogen,” oxybenzone can cause cancer in humans

Perhaps more disturbing is the DNA damage that oxybenzone can cause in human beings. A known “photocarcinogen,” oxybenzone has the ability to penetrate the skin and cause photosensitivity, not to mention its propensity to trigger the production of cancer-causing free radicals that damage human DNA.

Oxybenzone is believed to be a major contributing factor to rising rates of melanoma, a type of skin cancer that appears to be more prevalent in folks who use conventional sunscreen products that contain DNA-damaging chemicals like oxybenzone.
