Hey there,
I’ll be honest with you:
I don’t know a ton about makeup.
I mean, my daily routine consists of brushing my teeth (fluoride-free, of course)…
And splashing some water on my face.
So, I’m not exactly the guy to give advice on contouring or picking the perfect shade of lipstick.
But recently, I stumbled across something interesting.
You see, while I was researching the usual suspects…
You know, the fluoride in our water, the toxins in our air, etc…
And I found out that some beauty products might be working against us.
And not in the “oops, I chose the wrong shade” kind of way…
But in a “calcifying your pineal gland” kind of way.
Yeah, I know.
As if we needed another reason to be paranoid about our morning routine!
So, let me ask you:
Have you ever wondered what’s really in your favorite foundation, moisturizer…
Or that ultra-glossy lip balm you can’t live without?
What if I told you that some of those products could be doing a number on your third eye?
What’s Hiding in Your Makeup Bag?
Alright, I’ll admit it.
I don’t have a makeup bag.
But I did a little digging into what’s in yours.
And what I found was shocking.
Turns out…
Some popular beauty products contain chemicals that might actually be contributing to the calcification of your pineal gland.
Yes, the very same pineal gland we’ve been fighting to keep fluoride-free.
Ingredients like aluminum powder, parabens, and certain synthetic fragrances…
Can sneak their way into your favorite products, and once absorbed through the skin…
They can slowly make their way to that precious little gland in your brain.
Aluminum Powder: Not Just in Your Deodorant
First up on our list of usual suspects: aluminum powder.
This one is a common ingredient in many cosmetics…Particularly in eyeshadows, blushes, and nail polishes.
It gives products that sparkly, shimmery effect.
But aluminum has been linked to all kinds of nasty stuff…
Including neurological problems.
And get this:
It can contribute to the calcification of the pineal gland.
If you put this stuff on every day…
It might be time to consider alternatives.
Do we really need glittery eyelids if it’s going to mess with our spiritual radar?
Something to ponder, right?
Parabens: The Sneaky Preservers
Now, let’s talk about parabens.
These are preservatives found in a TON of beauty products…
From shampoos to lotions to makeup.
They prevent bacteria from growing in our products…
Which sounds like a good thing until you realize they can mimic estrogen in the body and disrupt your endocrine system.
And guess which tiny gland is part of your endocrine system?
Yep, the pineal gland.
Parabens could lead to calcification, and if you’re like me…
You want to keep your third eye as crystal clear as a mountain spring.
Synthetic Fragrances: More Than Just a Pretty Smell
Then there are those synthetic fragrances.
Oh, they smell delightful, don’t they?
Fresh lavender, vanilla, ocean breeze…
Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
But these fragrances can be made up of dozens of undisclosed chemicals…
Some of which are known to be toxic.
Have you ever wondered why they don’t just tell us what’s in these fragrances?
Probably because it’s easier to market “Morning Mist” than “a chemical cocktail that might calcify your pineal gland.”
So, What’s a Beauty Lover to Do?
I get it.
You don’t want to toss out all your favorite products…
And I’m not saying you have to go barefaced and au naturel all the time (although, you’re beautiful just as you are!).
But maybe it’s time to start thinking about what’s in these products…
And how they could be affecting your health and your spiritual well-being.
Consider looking for makeup and skincare that’s free from these harmful chemicals.
There are a lot of great brands out there that prioritize clean, non-toxic ingredients.
Look for products labeled “aluminum-free,” “paraben-free,” and “fragrance-free.”
Your pineal gland will thank you, and so will your skin.
Alternatives That Love Your Third Eye
Here are some safer options you can explore:
Mineral-Based Makeup
Go for brands that use natural minerals without any added aluminum.
Your sparkle will be just as bright, I promise.
Organic and Natural Skincare
Brands that use natural preservatives (like rosemary extract or grapefruit seed extract) instead of parabens.
Fragrance-Free Products
Or at least those with natural essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances.
Trust me, they smell just as good, and they won’t sneak attack your pineal gland.
