Check out this website to learn more about whats in your products and if they are really safe. I was amazed at how many bad chemicals were in the products I use everyday.

EWG/CFSC are a bunch of professional BSers who specialize in scaremongering and don't have the science to back up their claims, not to mention they twist facts around to suit their agenda. IMO, they don't give a toss about us consumers; their sole concerns are getting a foot in the government's door and making sure none of us use any mainstream cosmetics ever.

Look up any ingredient on these next two sites and find out what it's used for and whether or not it's safe. (Hint: If cosmetics ingredients weren't safe, they wouldn't be in our cosmetics in the first place. Despite what EWG/CFSC say, cosmetics *are* regulated.)

And one of the pieces linked in that article with an audio embed of CFSC co-founder Susan Roll outright *admitting* they "don't have the science"...

It's *the dose* that makes the poison.

<<..what you put on your body goes in your body!>>

Your body is more than capable of getting rid of toxins. It's how it's designed! Not to mention the chances of most cosmetic ingredients being absorbed by the skin are extremely low.
