• Sun block (titanium dioxide) –
affects the organisms in the water;
like the jellyfishes in Sohoton.
• Aficionado (perfume) – contains
ethanol that can cause disorder of
central nervous system; irritates
eyes, low inhalation
• Hammerhead (perfume) – 14 –
fragrance oil – cannot be used with
sensitive skin
• White dove baby cologne (ethyl
alcohol) – irritates respiratory tracts;
cause dryness of the skin
• Salt (NaCl) – food preservation; too
much can cause stomach cancer and
diverse effects to the kidneys
• Eskinol (citric acid) – irritate to eyes,
when exposed to sunlight, your face will
be damage
• Fragrance powder (magnesium) – treat
infected skins; can cause diarrhea
• MSG – flavour enhancer; mild
headaches, muscle cramps, brain
damage
• Hand Sanitizer (glycerin) –
moisturizer; healing wounds;
sometimes, might get allergies,
itchiness, redness of the skin
• Jand J Baby powder (talc) – it can
cause asthma and irritates the eyes
• Potassium nitrate – can creates
fire/explosion; health risks when inhaled
• Sodium fluoride – stomach upset; allergic
reactions
• Pyrethroids – non volatile hydrocarbons;
carcinogenic; cause abnormal sexual
hormones; itchiness,
• Facial powder (tender care) – magnesium
carbonate – slightly hazardous when there
is a skin and/or eye contact.
• Polycarbonate plastic – brain behavior
and prostate gland of fetuses, infants, and
children
• Sodium hypochlorite (zonrox) – extreme
irritation when contact with skin and eyes,
chlorine gas can cause disability and worse
death.
• Cadmium (batteries and charger) – it has
a chemical that has been link to early
puberty and differences in mammary
tissues structures. And breast cancer
• Plastic spoon – polysterene (PS) – toxins
absorb by our blood stream and tissues; it
produces CO2 when burn
• Cologne bottle – 2 – propanol –
flammable; keep away from the bottle
• Star wax (petroleum distillate) – colorless
liquid with a gasoline; contains aromatic
hydrocarbon; when inhaled, it can cause
irritation and corrosive effects
•Silka (lotion) – cyclo
methicone – can cause dryness
and irritation.
•Lip balm (hydrogen peroxide)
– it dilutes and can cause
severe burn and dryness,
