If you’ve heard of Susan Jeske you would know that she was crowned Ms America in’97. Since then she has spent over 20 years as a beauty consultant working for a major cosmetics company. But now she spends her time on speaking engagements warning us of the dangers of personal products such as cosmetics and skin care products in promoting the benefits of natural skin products and natural cosmetics. What happened to Susan?

Several years ago Susan Jeske was experiencing some severe health problems and skin problems. Unable to deal with them successfully she consulted a holistic doctor who advised her that the likely cause was chemical ingredients in the cosmetics and skin care products that she was using. She stopped using these products and within 2 weeks the health problems disappeared.

For someone who are spent 20 years working in the beauty and cosmetics industry it must have come as a terrible shock to find that so many of the products she had been working with were laced with chemical ingredients which are dangerous. A wide range of these chemical ingredients are banned in Europe for use in these types of products, but very few are banned in America. Some of these ingredients are known to cause cancer and some of these ingredients were 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.

She has even compiled a list of the 12 most toxic ingredients that you should never find listed on the label of any product you intend to apply to your skin.

There are many people, myself included on my website, that have been warning of the dangerous ingredients used in personal, beauty, skin care and other products for many years. These include a range of nasty chemicals and petrochemicals, and the FDA is not required to control this and does not do so. Therefore the problem 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.

Sadly there are many excellent natural skin products and natural cosmetics containing ingredients known to be highly effective and perfectly safe to use however these ingredients are much more expensive than chemical alternatives and so are not used in mainstream skin care products and cosmetics.

But there are excellent high quality natural skin products as well as high quality natural cosmetics which are available right now and which are manufactured by small niche manufacturers who see an opportunity to capitalise on this problem by marketing their products to consumers who are aware of the problems with mainstream products.
