Safe Cosmetics. Find Out if the Cosmetics You Use are Safe, or Dangerous
If you haven't read any of my articles before it may come as a surprise to you that the cosmetics that you use may be hazardous to your health. Believe it or not, not all cosmetics are safe. Safe cosmetics are, in fact, hard to find.
How can this be? Why in the world would the cosmetics that you use be dangerous? Surely the FDA regulates anything we use in or on our bodies to make sure that they are safe for us to use?
Sadly, no. Yes drugs are regulated and the drug companies need to conform to certain safety standards, but those standards don't apply to either companies making cosmetics, or companies making skin care products or personal care products and health and beauty products.
Basically these companies can use any ingredient in their cosmetics, regardless of whether they've been shown to be safe for human use. And big multi nationals being what they are, if there is an ingredient that they can use in their products that is cheaper than a safe alternative they'll use it.
Regardless of whether it results in some risks to users.
Here's an example. A recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested. Lead? Are you kidding? In our lipsticks? Sadly again it's true. Some of the biggest names in lipsticks contain lead.
This prompted the California legislature to legislate against lead in lipsticks.
Regulation on safe cosmetics ingredients is sadly lacking in the US. Standards are much much stricter in Europe. So the cosmetics that you and maybe your daughters use can contain dangerous ingredients.
I have personal experience of this. My then 7 year old daughter was due for her first ballet concert and they used all the normal cosmetics on her and within half an hour she had a terrible rash all over her face. We removed the cosmetics, the rash disappeared and hasn't reappeared.
We now use safe cosmetics for her ballet concerts.
The problem is so bad that there are now whole organizations set up to promote safe cosmetics and alert the public to the danger of the big brand cosmetics. And do the cosmetics companies change their behavior? Do they use safe ingredients in their cosmetics? Still no. They don't.
One such organization is called the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics. They attempt to expose as many of the risks of dangerous cosmetics as possible, to try and force our government to regulate the industry and the companies to produce safe cosmetics. And they run a Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Cosmetic companies that are prepared to dedicate themselves to produce only safe cosmetics can sign the compact to evidence their commitment to safe cosmetics.
And there is an organization called Teens Turning Green which helps direct teenagers towards safer cosmetics and other products, amongst their goals.
So how do you find out if the cosmetics you are using now are safe cosmetics or dangerous cosmetics. There is a way. There is a database called the cosmetic safety database, and you can use their database to search either the product that you're worried about, or the name of the company that makes them.
I just searched the Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick by way of example. On a scale of hazard from 1 to 10, 10 being the highest hazard, it rates a 9. High hazard. I'm told the ingredients in this lipstick are linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, allergies and immunotoxicity and a whole host of other hazards including neurotoxicity and more.
Scary isn't it. However there are cosmetics companies dedicated to making safe cosmetics and personal care products. Dedicated to using such ingredients as certified organic ingredients and natural ingredients that are proven to be safe before they are used. That set their highest goal as producing high quality safe cosmetics and personal care and beauty products, rather than just focussing on profits.
There's not many, but there is some. And if you're worried about the safety of the cosmetics that you, or maybe your daughters uses, you need to find them. Now.

Fresh Cosmetics?
I have been using Fresh cosmetics for a while now, but i think im developing slightly oiler skin. Dont know if its a result of using it or if its a bodily change with me only being 20. Fresh dosent cover the Oily skin range too well, fantastic body products but their anti oil cleanser seems to strip all moisture from my face most times. Does anyone know of any products that may be better suited to me?

Why the whitenning cream, concealer, foundation are always out of stock in usa and go on asian online shop?
Well, I got super-fair skin and I do not like it that much, everyone in my family know that I prefer olive skin and always use the cheeks brush or shimmer powder which it darker than my real skin. I really like the look of Arab or desert people style. now I got the problem because I've the acne's on my face so someone suggest me to use the white concealer to cover on the acne's before make-up? then, two weeks ago, I searched for the product which I hope it'd appropriate my skin. then I found "white concealer of fresh cosmetic", the problem is, the white concealer was already out of stock?, there left only the tan and brown concealer.........so I did look for the same product at sephora and then I found there was left the white concealer that I wanted? so I thought I'd wait abit until the end of this month? so I got the money to purchasse it?............. untill today when I look on that product again at sephora? it already out of stock?? so I serach for this product from many sites..............most of the time this product are brought to stock in the asian beauty online stores, for example korean, hongkong, thailand etc...............I go on seraching the white concealer of the other product of usa, they are all run out of stock, every products have only the tan concealer, tan make-up lotion and bronzer. but all WHITENING and LUMINISING cream are all out of stock. this boring me because I really don't know where can I find the white concealer for put on my acnes blemish? because they are all sale to the asian stores. I guess its more important for the white women who have got the blemish from the acnes to use those white concealer? rather than the asian women that wanted to whitening their skin that way, by using the white concealer which its for the white women.
