Safer Bath & Beauty Products

The scary thing is that NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
how hazardous the ingredients in
our bath and beauty products are because they
are
not tested for safety by the FDA or anyone
else.
EWG's
Website will show you how large the "data gap" is on
these ingredients.
We and our tiny
children are exposed to
hundreds of chemicals SIMULTANEOUSLY each and every day. And
no testing
is done on how the chemicals react when combined into a single product.
So no one knows what the byproduct is when you mix SLS and propylene
glycol and everything else together.
When I started checking out the products in
my kitchen and bathroom
I was appalled with their
hazardous ratings. The Carmex I used on my lips
every morning and night was rating a 7! My Dove
antiperspirant was a 6, my Crest toothpaste was a 6
(although the chemical sodium fluoride it contains
is rated an 8!). Even my Aveeno lotion was an 8!
Just about everything I used has a moderate to high
hazardous rating, due to the chemicals they
contained.
