If you've ever read a label in the cosmetics aisle and, brow furrowed, wondered whether anyone out there (like the government, perhaps) is making sure all those ingredients are good for you, this short video is for you.
Cause, by the way, they're not.
Check it out:
Does this make you as nervous as it makes me?
Luckily, there are actions we can take to minimize our risk.
Support the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010.
Buy from companies that have signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.
Check the Cosmetic Database to find safer products.
Use less.
i was really surprised at the chemicals in liquid foundation, shampoos, conditioners...as far as makeup no wonder they say to dump them after 6 mos.
ReplyDeleteVery informative and scary too!
ReplyDeleteWow! scary stuff...about to go clean out my bathroom closets!
ReplyDeleteVery helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOMG just read the post about the condoms, I do not know what I would do, but at least he was honest with you... OMG- this is scary, it is so sad, especially the testing on animals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! i used to be a cosmetics buyer for Neiman Marcus and got way sick of all the cosmetics. I love going au naturale now more than ever and my skin just shines from the lack of goo it! I missed the Monday blog hop due to a super long plane flight home! Roz
ReplyDeleteI saw this video on another site last week and it is certainly a real eye opener and yes, I shall be rethinking some of the things I buy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for opening my eyes. I know there are a lot of stuff I can't pronounce...so it makes me leary of buying them. I am sure I am giving all of us cancer by some of the stuff here. I try to grow my own food, go to Farmer's market...and pick good soap and shampoos. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't get a product toxic free. Bunch of crap, I say.
ReplyDeleteSo scary. I didn't realize my lipstick had lead in it; and just think, I had just found the perfect shade after all that research! Now to begin the research of the natural cosmetics' company's shades, If they really are natural. Mmmm. Thank you for sharing this. I'm passing this info. on to my healthy living group and my teenage daughter.
