How safe are your cosmetics?

What does safe mean when it comes to our cosmetics? The FDA requires cosmetic companies to “adequately substantiate safety” of products, or else carry a warning label that says the safety of the product has not been determined. But there are no protocols or definitions for what it means to “substantiate safety,” no requirements for companies to demonstrate safety --- and not surprisingly, no products carrying the warning label. In 2004, EWG (Environmental Working Group) petitioned the FDA to recall products that violated the recommendations of the industry’s safety panel, clarify what it means for companies to “adequately substantiate safety,” and investigate products containing the most toxic chemical ingredients. The FDA denied the petition on all counts; the agency said it did not have the authority to take action.If the FDA won’t do anything about the safety of our cosmetics, what can you do?Click here to see a new safe product in skincare: http://www.aforwardglimpse.com/
