What does this do to or environment?
​
Giving your skin the perfect texture and glow is definitely a priority, however, using artificial moisturizers available in the market deprives the environment of said “glow”. The cosmetic preservatives BHA and BHT are synthetic antioxidants which also alter behavior and cause death in fish and shellfish. BHA and BHT also cause genetic mutations in amphibians, thus disrupting the natural conditions of the aquatic environment.
