I don't know what got me on this tangent, but I wanted to look up the ingredients of the KVD liquid lipsticks and was stunned to see the EWG's ratings of them:

What are your thoughts? Are there liquid lipsticks that may be better for your lips?

Wow that's really crazy. So is it the lower then number the better?

EWG literally irritates me to no end. Pure pseudoscience and they've even been used in court and made a mockery of upon discovery of where their 'information' comes from. Their fear mongering is over rated and the studies they tend to cite have completely different conclusions than what they claim to have and out of context.. The political agenda behind that site explains it all.
Most of these companies are under the same parent company, so if you are truly concerned about what's in your products you might want to go to a small etsy shop or create your own.

Dude, she's just trying to do the right thing and be concerned about what is in her makeup. It may not be 100% correct, that's fine, but give the girl some credit for trying

That's what I thought @Taylor
@Kitty- being a skin enthusiast I value your opinion, however, I think there's a better way to state your thoughts. Obviously things get 'lost in translation', so to speak.

I am not discrediting Jackie or her intentions. I'm discrediting EWG and their fear mongering tactics and misinformation. Misinformation provided can cause an unnecessary panic. When getting into topics as such, I prefer to look at things at a factual point rather than going by pseudoscience. I understand you think I am discrediting Jackie, but like I said on both posts. I find error with EWG and if Jackie is concerned about ingredients in her products buying from a local business or handmade products will always be a safer bet. I'm not sure how much more that can be said, but I prefer to provide factual information than to scare people :)

I'm with kitty. Every time I see EWG "ratings" I cringe because it's never seemed to be backed up by science. I remember that app everyone was obsessed with that was similar and used the same "everything is bad list" system, and I had to calm family and friends because they were terrified of ingredients that have shown zero proof of what it claimed. It just seems very fear mongering and I don't know why. Like they don't seem to favor a brand or anything to get more money so it just seems to be purely for scare tactics. I've done my own research and I suggest other people do rather than rely on sites or apps like this.
But realistically, cosmetics go through vigorous testing and if there were any true concern from the fda or any other health system, they would have to put a warning. The website also uses sources that aren't all that reliable. I remember seeing a "this causes cancer" rating on an ingredient, and the only thing I could find on it even being linked to cancer was a patient in a study that had gone into remission for years and years and then it came back pretty much doubled as much in their body, and they studied what was used to see if it was environmental, and the ingredient listed was a common one in her cosmetics. So it was listed as a higher concentrated ingredient in her surroundings, but it never even suggested that it caused it, and had several other "cleaning products often contained_____" that didn't cause it, but it was just a part of their research.
So definitely take it with a grain of salt. Do your own research rather than trust a site that I've never seen give a good rating to anything I've ever owned lol.
Sorry if this has some grammatic or spelling errors, or repeated rambles, I can't seem to edit it and see what I've written on it, for some reason the bar just disappears when I try to backspace lol.
