Toxic Hairspray

Nothing makes me madder than to think about all the chemicals we put into the atmosphere and into our bodies everyday. A lot of people never think about this and even more never look at an ingredient list of what they are using.
I pulled an old bottle of hairspray out of the cabinet today, one that had gotten pushed back into the unknown. It was there because a couple years ago I decided to find out what was in it and it made me sick. There were chemicals I couldn't pronounce and some that just by looking I knew were bad. Now, by knowing that my skin is the largest organ and every thing put on it goes right to my liver, my lungs, heart and everywhere else I had to stop. Then I thought how I was getting extra doses because the hair "spray" was being absorbed by my eyes and then of course I had to breathe while I was in the tiny bathroom, spraying my hair. Oh, and the dog got his dose too, because he has to go everywhere with me. Some of the ingredients are listed below but there are more. I could go on and on, but I hope you will get the point.
I also want to point out this fact; One chemical might not be to bad all alone but what happens when you mix it with something else?
What reaction do you get when you mix 8 chemicals in your shampoo with 15 chemicals in your mouse and another 15 in your hairspray?
