Disturbing info

[Lyndebe]

I don't mean to be negative, but I stumbled onto www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep which lists ingredients in products that are harmful, and it is pretty much everything. Can this be true?

It is true to the best of my knowledge. Their research has been published in many news articles. If you'd like to see a list of artciles on cosmetics/beauty products see EWG IN THE NEWS.

Thank you so much for that link! I have often wondered about the toxicity of what I put on my face and I have lately been thinking about trying to "clean up" my clean up routine. Someone told me a long time ago that Aubrey Organics was really the least toxic, and according to that link, it seems to be true. I am going to try some more natural stuff. I wonder if that is why I am happy with some products for a while, but then I always feel like it stops doing anything good and my skin looks bad again.

It is strange that we trust 'them' to take care of us. But darn it, everything anymore is bad for us....

oh noooo, i found Milani as one of the higher toxic products. :icon_roll

I, on the contrary read that there is much exaggeration on this site. This site caused a lot of turmoil, but it is not accurate.
