“Have you ever counted how many
cosmetics or personal care products you use in a day? Chances are it's
nearly 10. And chances are good that they include shampoo, toothpaste,
soap, deodorant, hair conditioner, lip balm, sunscreen, body lotion,
shaving products if you're a man, and cosmetics if you are a woman. And
what about your children?
“Most people use these products without a second thought, and believe
that the government must certainly be policing the safety of the
mixtures in these myriad containers. But they are wrong about this. The
government does not require health studies or pre-market testing for
these products before they are sold. And as people apply an average of
126 unique ingredients on their skin daily, these chemicals, whether
they seep through the skin, rinse down the drain, or flush down the
toilet in human excretions, are causing concerns for human health, and
for the impacts they may have to wildlife, rivers and streams.”
