Welcome to BANBU
Hello everyone!
I'm Verónica, founder of Banbu. If you're reading this, you might have started wondering what you're putting on your skin. I asked myself that question a few years ago too, after an experience that marked a before and after in my life:
“Sometimes life gives you signs to start new things“ 💫
When I was 18, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a disease that directly affects our hormonal system and fertility. To this day, I still remember perfectly the day I visited the gynecologist and he detected a cyst more than ten centimeters in size. I had to undergo emergency surgery to remove that lump and was on the verge of losing an ovary. It was a difficult moment for me, but it also marked the beginning of a new way of seeing things.
The Moment That Opened My Eyes
After that, as I thought about what had happened to me and the people who were in the same situation, I decided to do some research. That's when I discovered the "dreaded" endocrine disruptors.
And what are endocrine disruptors?
They are chemical substances that can disrupt the hormonal balance of our system, directly affecting development, reproduction, and the functioning of the body. Furthermore, they can cause problems such as infertility, menstrual irregularities, fetal development issues, diabetes, obesity, and even some types of cancer. However, what is most striking is that their effects are not always limited to the user but can affect future generations.
To my surprise, I also discovered that endocrine disruptors were in the cosmetic products I used every day. These were products I trusted without knowing they contained toxic ingredients harmful to my health.
At that moment, I felt anger but also the need to do something about it.
I wanted to find a solution not only for myself but also for all those people who, like me, were going through something similar without having enough information.
How do endocrine disruptors cause hormonal disruption?
