Cosmetic Vigilance

You sometimes see people suggesting that cosmetics are in some way unregulated and we can get away with putting whatever we want in our products.  I sometimes wish it were true – I don’t think many people like having to keep up with continually changing regulations and I know I don’t.  But the fact is that anyone who makes a living developing cosmetics needs to have a good handle on the relevant legislation. 

Check out this blog. It is one of the best sources of sensible information about cosmetics and their ingredients that I’ve found – and witty, too. For instance, there are many urban legends about unregulated and toxic personal care products. These legends do not stand up to scrutiny. The lead in lipstick scare story is a case in point. Colins Beauty Pages is a place where you can reliably separate fact from fiction.
