The big brand name cosmetics that you might use right now have suspect or downright dangerous ingredients in them. Can you find safe cosmetics to use?
Sadly the FDA doesn't regulate cosmetics, and isn't required to test the ingredients of cosmetics for safety for human use. Or safe for human consumption.
Human consumption? Isn't that a little silly, we don't eat our cosmetics.
Well really in effect we do. You see if you apply a product to your face, lets say it's a moisturizer or a lipstick or any form of skin care product or cosmetic product, a little soaks in. And when it soaks in some of it gets into your bloodstream, which is exactly what happens when you eat something. So you have really eaten it.
Some of the ingredients, including potentially dangerous ingredients, have found their way into your system.
And sadly there are some very nasty ingredients in our body care products, cosmetics, skin care and anti aging products and other beauty products. Our lipsticks, mascaras, blushes, foundations, eye shadows and more have ingredients in them that have been shown to cause cancer.
Here's a quote from the FDA that might make you wonder:
The regulatory requirements governing the sale of cosmetics are not as stringent as those that apply to other FDA-regulated products Manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval.
Scary isnt it?
There is even an organization to fight the proliferation of dangerous ingredients in cosmetics, called the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics.
If you get to their website you'll find they say this.
1. A study has found that some (more than half of those tested) major big name brands of lipstick contain lead, including:
LOreal Colour Riche True Red Christian Dior Addict Positive Red Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor Maximum Red and more. And there was lead found in some of the most expensive brands too, so paying more is no preventative.
2. And there are some brands of cosmetics, or some individual products, that contain 1,4-Dioxane, and if you look on their labels you won't find it listed as an ingredient.
There's dozens of examples, I won't bore you listing them all, though I talk about this on my website. But the real question is, how do you find safe cosmetics?
Yes it's perfectly possible to find safe cosmetics, just as it's perfectly possible to find very effective and very safe skin care products as well.
There are a number of small niche cosmetics companies that work very hard to produce safe and high quality cosmetics ranges for the canny consumer. The Campaign For Safe Cosmetics actually has a register that these companies can sign to evidence their commitment to producing safe products, though you won't find the big brands have signed it.
These small niche companies are unable to compete with the big brands on marketing budget, so you won't see them on TV, so you've probably never heard of the. But their products are top shelf, even thought they don't actually sell through the stores so their products aren't on the shelves at all.
If you head over to my website you'll find out who are the very best of the manufacturers of high quality skin care products and cosmetics.
You might be looking for either skin care products or cosmetics or other beauty products, either way you can buy confident you aren't risking your health.
