Obesogens are additives in lotions and many types of skincare that predispose some people to obesity. As these common chemicals are absorbed through the skin, they disrupt hormones and alter metabolic pathways that may increase fat storage. These obesogens are used in makeup, nail polish, lotions, creams, fragrances, hair spray, moisturizers, sun blocks, deodorants body wash, aftershaves and even toothpaste. The average absorption daily is 168 chemicals from Phthalates and Parabens. Only the largest amount of toxic chemicals is listed by manufacturing companies, according to FDA requirements. 

Teens using makeup and skincare have 20x more of these toxic chemicals in their body. Children, nursing and lactating mothers are especially prone to increased absorption of toxic skincare additives.

Phthalates reduce circulating thyroid hormone, thyroxin, disrupting energy metabolism and free testosterone. You can not only become obese, but also chronically fatigued. 

Parabens deposit in weak estrogen receptors. You may experience extra padding of fat storage in all the wrong places.
