Why Secrets of Yesteryear :
Back to basics, to put an end to products composed of phthalates, CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic substances), petrochemicals and everything that is harmful to our skin and our health. Studies conducted by British organizations reveal the sad truth hidden by large consumer brands. Women apply nearly 500 chemicals to the skin daily, mostly to the face. Using nearly fifteen products and cosmetics, including lipsticks, mascaras, perfumes, make-up in general and other lotions. Each product applied contains about twenty different products, not all of which have been approved or even tested. Worse still, according to a US study, a tiny amount of cosmetics on the market are properly validated by licensed toxicologists. Some of these products are even responsible for the most common skin problems such as acne, pimples or even dry skin. Women have sensitive skin, attacked daily by waxing, shaving, exfoliation. Every woman has already tasted the bitter taste of the inconvenience of the harmful effects of a cream, an industrial cosmetic.
