Safe Cosmetics – Information we all need to know
On an average, women use about 12 personal care products each day. Now these products could be shower gels, face creams, body lotions, mascara, lipstick, perfumes and the list goes on. The basic idea is to look good and smell nice, it is a nice thing; No arguments about that. But, do we have to compromise our health and safety for all this?
This article advises getting behind the Safe Cosmetics Act as a way to improve the safety of our skin care products. Personally, I think the proposed Act is based on scare-mongering more than science and that it will actually set the organic movement backwards if it is implemented. Many people in the organic movement agree with this opinion. I wrote more here about Cosmetic Safety. Of course we all want our cosmetics to be safe. But the Safe Cosmetics Act is not the way to get the job done.
