Most experts agree when it comes to skin care, the purer the better, but did you know the US government does not mandate safety studies of cosmetics.
This was taken from the FDA website: “The regulatory requirements governing the sale of cosmetics are as stringent as those that apply to other FDA-regulated products…Manufacturers may use ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval.”
The skin is the body’s largest organ. What we put on our skin can influence us, as to how we look and feel.
What’s in your cosmetics? To find out theirs a great website call Environmental Work Group (EWG) Cosmetic safety database, you can either put in the name of your product or ingredient to find out how healthy or how toxic it is for your skin and health.
I prefer organic or natural, ingredients that I can pronounce.
