What are the hazards of cosmetics containing fluorescent agents

There are many types of cosmetics in life, and many inferior cosmetics contain fluorescent agents. Cosmetics containing fluorescent agents are very harmful to women's skin. Therefore, when choosing cosmetics, you must pay attention to its ingredients and choose carefully. Cosmetics containing fluorescent agents can cause harm to the skin in many ways. So what are the specific hazards of cosmetics containing fluorescent agents?

1. " Fluorescent face" appears

Fluorescent agent is a kind of industrial dye that can dye the dyed objects white and make them look sparkling. Fluorescent agent is added to the common fluorescent sticks. If fluorescent agent is added to cosmetics, the fluorescent agent will be rubbed onto the face during the use of cosmetics and adhere to the surface skin of the face. Occasionally using it once or twice will not have much impact, but long-term use of cosmetics containing fluorescent agent will dye the entire face, resulting in a "fluorescent face".

2. Skin allergies

Fluorescent agent is a chemical that is harmful to the skin. Long-term use of cosmetics containing fluorescent agent will cause great irritation to the skin. Irritated skin is prone to allergic reactions such as redness, itching, pain, etc. Severe cases may even lead to dermatitis and skin cancer.

3. Damage to the blood system

After the fluorescent agent is absorbed by the skin and enters the human body, the chemical components it contains can easily contaminate the blood. Although human blood has the ability to purify itself, a small amount of harmful substances entering the blood will be diluted, decomposed, adsorbed and excreted by the blood. However, long-term and excessive use of fluorescent cosmetics will inevitably lead to essential changes in the blood. When the fluorescent agent enters the blood circulation, it will damage the cell membrane of red blood cells and cause hemolysis.

4. Endangering life and health

Long-term use of cosmetics containing fluorescent agents will cause the fluorescent agents attached to the skin to reach a certain level and some of them will be absorbed by the skin. Fluorescent agents are difficult to decompose in the human body and thus gradually accumulate, damaging various organs. What is more serious is that fluorescent agents can also cause mutations in human cells. If their toxicity accumulates in the liver or other important organs, it will become a potential carcinogenic factor.
