Women with higher levels of personal-care chemicals in their bodies experienced menopause two to four years earlier than women with lower levels.
Early menopause means more time for hot flashes, mood swings, and memory fog, and increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and breast cancer.
Repeated chemical exposures accumulate in the body over your lifetime. The EWG also tested teenagers and found that 16 different hormone-altering chemicals, including parabens and phthalates were detected in their urine. So, the exposure begins at a young age. Detoxing the body regularly and adding super nutrition can help, but not everyone takes the time do do that level of self-care.
ALL ingredients used for Indigo Healing Oils products are healthy and natural.

* Some strict vegans avoid beeswax. We only use Organic Beeswax which is created naturally by healthy honeybees in a NON-GMO, pesticide free environment. It is included in body butters, salves and ointments. It conditions and heals the skin. It also offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral benefits making it helpful in treating skin irritation.
As Science Daily reported, in a study of more than 31,000 US women, researchers examined blood and urine levels for 111 mostly man-made chemicals that are commonly found in plastics, personal care products, and household items, as well as other chemicals that can contaminate air, water, and soil.
The chemicals tested included:
- Dioxins/furans (industrial combustion byproducts)
- Phthalates (found in plastics, common household items, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products including lotions, perfumes, makeup, nail polish, liquid soap, and hair spray)
- Phytoestrogens (plant-derived estrogens)
- Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, coolants)
- Phenolic derivatives (phenols, industrial pollutants)
- Organophosphate pesticides
- Surfactants
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (combustion products)
Women with higher levels of the chemicals in their bodies were found to experience menopause two to four years earlier than women with lower levels.
Fifteen chemicals in particular (including nine PCBs, three pesticides, two phthalates, and a furan) were significantly associated with early menopause, which suggests an early decline in ovarian function.

- 96 percent contained lead
- 90 percent contained beryllium
- 61 percent contained thallium
- 51 percent contained cadmium
- 20 percent contained arsenic
It was widely shared back in 2015 that women who use make-up on a daily basis can absorb almost 5 pounds of chemicals into their bodies each year. The number was argued by some, but the problem is real, even if it's less than 5 pounds. With the vast amount of chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis, we have to do what we can to minimize our risks of cancer and autoimmune illness, both of which have been increasing at a shocking rate.
