FACT: Cosmetic companies may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, without government review or approval.
The evidence is mounting about the harmful and toxic effects of commonly used chemicals found in cosmetics, such as phthalates.
"The threat to health may include, for instance,
cancer, harm to developing fetuses and infants exposed to the
chemicals through baby products or their mother's cosmetics
use, and disruptions of various organ or hormonal systems in the body."
Everyday Americans follow a routine of applying lotions, powders,
shampoo, and cosmetics to their skin. "In many cases, penetrating
agents ensure rapid and deep penetration of these substances into our bodies."
