The last thing you want when you buy a new skin care product is to put your family in danger. But there is a major risk found in over-the-counter skin care products that can not only put your family's health in danger in the short-term, but in the long-term too.
This outbreak has to do with mercury, which can not only harm your digestive and immune systems, but can also cause damage to your kidneys and lungs. And this mercury exposure can be so dangerous that it can even be fatal. (1)
There are many reasons why you should avoid over-the-counter products, and the last thing you need to worry about is mercury poisoning. Thankfully, there are ALL-NATURAL SOLUTIONS to your skin care problems, which include taking care of your family AND your body today.
In this blog we talk about the dangers of mercury in over-the-counter products, and how you can enjoy your BEST SKIN HEALTH and ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS today!
If you think this blog is just a way to scare you into GOING ALL-NATURAL, think again. Mercury in over-the-counter cosmetics is a real problem. Just last year, the FDA declared that people need to be careful of lotions, soaps, and skin creams found in the aisles of stores everywhere. They even point out that some of these products specifically target adolescents in the form of acne medicines and anti-aging creams.
The FDA specifically says to check labels and avoid the ones with the words calomel, mercurio, mercuric, and mercurous chloride, and to avoid these products immediately. The worst part of all this? There ARE conditions when the FDA allows mercury in over-the-counter cosmetics. (2)
Furthermore, many cosmetics made outside the United States can avoid a lot of red tape, which has caused the state of California to specifically point out the dangers of mercury in cosmetics. The state says to check labels of creams made in other countries, especially those products targeting freckles, wrinkles, and acne. (3)
If you thought these FDA warnings were so last year, consider this. Just a few weeks ago, a Minnesota woman lost some of her vision due to a potential exposure to mercury in skin creams. There were even dangerous mercury levels detected in communal rooms at her house and around her children, putting them at risk too.

And this isn’t something that is easily remedied once you’re exposed. This woman has lost her peripheral vision, and has suffered from leg pain, insomnia, tiredness, and muscle problems, which can affect her daily activities every day for the rest of her life. Worst part of all this – she WILL NOT recover her vision. (5)
Another scary part of this story is that this dangerous ingredient WAS NOT on the ingredient list, meaning that people are paying money to get sick without ever having the chance to protect themselves. (5) (6)
Before we dive any deeper into the pitfalls of over-the-counter skin care products, let’s talk about what mercury is, and what you may be exposing your family to by purchasing dangerous over-the-counter products. Mercury is a metal commonly found in such things as lightbulbs, thermometers, and street lights with an atomic number of 80 on the periodic table.
Though we can go much deeper into what mercury is and the history of it, the bottom line is this: mercury is toxic, and your body knows it. This is why your body reacts so negatively to the three types of mercury – organic mercury, elemental mercury, and inorganic mercury. (7)

The form of mercury that can be found in cosmetics can also be found in antiseptics, fungicides, and disinfectants, as well as in many rocks and formations of salt. The major factors that can affect your body include the frequency of exposure and your current health, but let’s be honest – you need to AVOID MERCURY at all costs. (8)
Mercury is so dangerous that the country of Australia points out that fish with potentially high levels of mercury need to be monitored. They even say those in high-risk groups like children, pregnant women, and those with kidney disease should monitor their intake to avoid potential health risks and dangers.
If you’re concerned about whether or not you’ve been exposed, some of the common symptoms of elemental and inorganic mercury poisoning include trouble sleeping, breathing problems, memory issues, mental health struggles, and muscle complications. (10)
The truth is that if you are, indeed, concerned about having been exposed to mercury in dangerous over-the-counter skin care products, you should have your blood and urine tested. The state of New York even outlines certain criteria for exposure where some people may potentially be at risk BEFORE health risks are exhibited - so take this seriously and GO ALL-NATURAL today!
