I ka maka i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻole ʻia, ka papa inoa mea lōʻihi lōʻihi ma ka hope o ka makana mascara a i ʻole kahi ʻōmole o ke kahua e like me ka mea i kākau ʻia i loko o kahi ʻōlelo ʻano ʻē. Me ka hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke kuhi i kēlā mau inoa mea ʻewalu-syllable iā ʻoe iho, pono ʻoe e kau i kahi liʻiliʻio ka hilinaʻi - ʻo ka palekana o kāu mea hoʻonaninani a pololei kāna papa inoa mea hoʻohui - i ka poʻe ʻepekema nāna i hoʻohui i kāu mau huahana. Akā he haʻawina hou i paʻi ʻia ma ka puke pai Nā Palapala ʻEpekema ʻepekema a me nā ʻenehana e hōʻike ana, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e wikiwiki e hilinaʻi i kāu mea e kau nei ma kou alo a me kou kino.

Ma hope o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā mea hoʻonaninani 231 - me nā kumu, nā mascaras, nā huna huna, a me nā lehelehe, nā maka, a me nā huahana kuʻemaka - mai nā hale kūʻai e like me Ulta Beauty, Sephora, a me Target, ua loaʻa i nā kānaka noiʻi o ke Kulanui o Notre Dame he 52 pākēneka i loaʻa nā pae kiʻekiʻe o per- a nā mea polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS). Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "kemika mau loa," ʻaʻole e wāwahi ʻo PFAS i ke kaiapuni a hiki ke kūkulu ʻia i loko o kou kino me ka ʻike pinepine ʻana i ka manawa, e like me ka inu ʻana i ka wai i hoʻohaumia ʻia, ka ʻai ʻana i ka iʻa mai kēlā wai, a i ʻole ka ʻai ʻana i ka lepo a i ʻole ka lepo, e like me i nā Kikowaena no ka mālama ʻana a me ka Kāohi ʻana i ka maʻi. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia kēia mau kemika i nā pono kīʻaha ʻole lāʻau, nā lole pale wai, a me nā lole pale pale, no ka CDC.

I loko o ka honua nani, hoʻohui pinepine ʻia ʻo PFAS i nā mea hoʻonaninani a me nā huahana mālama pilikino (e noʻonoʻo: nā lotions, nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe maka, nā ʻili ʻili) e hoʻomaikaʻi i ko lākou kūpaʻa wai, kūpaʻa, a me ka lōʻihi, e like me ke aʻo ʻana. Ma nā lepili mea hoʻohui, e hoʻokomo pinepine ʻo PFAS i ka huaʻōlelo "fluoro" i ko lākou mau inoa, e like me ka Environmental Working Group, akā ua ʻike ʻia ka noiʻi ʻana he 8 wale nō ka nui o nā mea hoʻonaninani i hoʻāʻo ʻia he PFAS i helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai. ʻO nā mahele cosmetic ʻewalu i hoʻāʻo ʻia, nā kumu, nā huahana o ka maka, nā mascaras, a me nā huahana lehelehe ka hapa nui o nā huahana i loaʻa nā fluorine kiʻekiʻe (kahi māka no PFAS), e like me ka mea noiʻi. (E pili pū ana: ʻO nā Mascaras Maʻemaʻe maikaʻi loa a kūlohelohe)

ʻAʻole maopopo i ka hoʻohui ʻia ʻana o ka PFAS i kēia mau huahana a ʻaʻole paha, akā ua kuhikuhi ka poʻe noiʻi ua hiki ke hoʻohaumia ʻia i ka wā o ka hana ʻana a i ʻole ka leaching o nā pahu mālama. Ua hoʻomaopopo pū kekahi ʻo ka US Food and Drug Administration kekahi o ka PFAS ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia i loko o nā cosmetic ma muli o nā haumia o nā mea maka a i ʻole "ka haki ʻana o nā mea PFAS e hana i nā ʻano PFAS ʻē aʻe."

Nānā ʻole i ke kumu, ʻano hoʻonāukiuki ke kū ʻana o kēia mau kemikal: ke hōʻike ʻia i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o kekahi PFAS e alakaʻi i nā kiʻekiʻe kolesterol kiʻekiʻe, hoʻemi i ka pane o ka lāʻau lapaʻau i nā keiki, hoʻonui i ka nui o ke kaomi koko kiʻekiʻe i nā wahine hāpai, a me ka nui o ka hopena o ka puʻupaʻa. a me ka maʻi ʻaʻai testicular, e like me ka CDC. ʻO nā haʻawina holoholona - e hoʻohana ana i nā lāʻau i ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā pae i loaʻa kūlohelohe i ke kaiapuni - ua hōʻike pū ʻia e hiki i ka PFAS ke hōʻino i ke akepaʻa a me nā ʻōnaehana pale, nā kīnā hānau, hoʻolōʻihi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana, a me nā make hānau hou, no ka CDC.

ʻOiai kēlā mau pilikia olakino hiki ke hoʻohana i ka PFAS i nā cosmetics kahi kumu e hopohopo ai, akahele ka poʻe loea e kūʻē i ka mea ʻoi loa ka maikaʻi. "ʻAʻole maopopo i ka nui o ka lawe maoli ʻia ʻana [ma o ka ʻili] a me ka nui o ka poʻe i hōʻike ʻia ma muli o ka nui i loaʻa i nā huahana no makeup," wahi a Marisa Garshick, M.D., F.A.A.D., kahi dermatologist ma New York City. "No laila no ka mea ua ʻike ʻia kēlā mau [hopena] i loko o nā noiʻi i hana ʻia i nā holoholona, ​​i hāʻawi ʻia i kahi nui [o PFAS], ʻo ia ʻaʻole mea e pili ana i kēia hoʻonohonoho, kahi i ʻike ʻole ʻia ai ka nui o ka hōʻike. "

Eia nō naʻe, mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i nā cosmetics i hoʻāʻo ʻia i ke aʻo ʻana e hoʻopili ʻia paha i ka maka, e pili ana me nā maka a me ka waha - nā wahi "kahi lahilahi o ka ʻili a aia paha e hoʻonui ʻia ka omo ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ke kino," wahi a Kauka Garshick. Pēlā nō, hōʻike nā mea kākau noiʻi i ka PFAS i ka lipstick hiki ke hoʻohana ʻole ʻia, a hiki i ka poʻe i loko o ka mascara ke komo i loko o nā waimaka. (E heluhelu pū kekahi: He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā huahana nani a hoʻomaʻemaʻe kūlohelohe?)

No laila, pono anei ʻoe e hoʻolei i kāu mau mea hoʻonaninani a pau i ka ʻōpala? Kūpilikiʻi ia. ʻO kahi hōʻike ma PFAS i ka makahiki 2018 ma nā mea hoʻonaninani, alakaʻi ʻia e Denmark's Environmental Protection Agency, i hoʻoholo ʻia e "ana i nā noʻonoʻo o PFCA [kahi ʻano o PFAS] i nā huahana cosmetic iā lākou iho ʻaʻole ia he mea e pilikia ai ka poʻe kūʻai." Akā i ka hihia koʻikoʻi loa - ʻaʻole maoli maoli ka mea kākau - aia hiki e lilo i mea makaʻu inā hoʻohana ʻia nā cosmetic i loko o PFAS i ka manawa like. (Pili: ʻO ka Documentary 'Toxic Beauty' Hou e hoʻomālamalama i ka makaʻu o nā Cosmetics Unregulated)

TL; DR: "No ka palena o ka ʻikepili holoʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole hiki ke huki ʻia nā hopena paʻa," wahi a Kauka Garshick. "Pono ka noiʻi hou aʻe e loiloi i ka nui o ka PFAS i loaʻa i nā mea hoʻonaninani, ka nui o ka absorption ma ka ʻili, a me nā pilikia olakino e pili ana i kēia ʻike."

ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻeha hiki o PFAS i nā mea hoʻonani ke piʻi aʻe nei i ka lewa, aia kekahi mau hana e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke lawe e hōʻemi i kāu hōʻike. ʻO ka EWG, ʻaʻole i komo i ka noiʻi, ʻōlelo ʻo ia e nānā i kāna Skin Deep Database, e hāʻawi ana i nā papa inoa mea hoʻohui a me nā helu palekana no kahi kokoke i 75,000 cosmetics a me nā huahana mālama pilikino - me 300+ i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi EWG he PFAS, ma mua o kou hoʻohui ʻana i kahi huahana i kāu hana nani. ʻO ka mea nui aku, hiki iā ʻoe ke kāhea i nā lālā o kou ʻahaʻōlelo a kākoʻo i nā kānāwai e pāpā ana iā PFAS i nā mea hoʻonaninani, e like me The No PFAS in Cosmetics Act i hoʻolauna ʻia i nehinei e nā Senators ʻo Susan Collins lāua ʻo Richard Blumenthal.

A inā pili ʻoe, ʻaʻohe hewa o ka hele au naturel no ka mea maikaʻi, à la Alicia Keys.
