Find Out If YOUR Skin Care Products Are Dangerous
You need to find out whether the products you may be buying now could be hazardous.
We’ve talked before about dangerous skin care products, and how there may well be hazardous ingredients in the skin care products that you may well buy now.
How there is little FDA regulation or control of what ingredients skincare companies can use in their skincare products, and for that matter in cosmetics either, and that this can result in skincare products and anti aging products with ingredients in them that are considered to be hazardous.
And when it comes to buying great skin care products, the very FIRST consideration for you, the consumer, is that the product doesn’t have the potential to do you harm.
Many skin care products don’t perform well, or do nothing at all for promoting great looking healthy skin. But when they can actually harm your skin, or your health, that’s another matter entirely.
So if you buy skin care products and anti aging products now, and are wondering if any of those products could be hazardous, what do you do about it?
There’s a way to research this. There is an organization called the Environmental Working Group which runs the Cosmetic Safety Database, which reports on the companies, and the products, that may be worth avoiding. They list products according to the degree of risk ingredients in those products may pose to users.
It’s listed on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is lower risk, or hazard, and 10 is maximum hazard.
So you don’t want to find that the products YOU use are a 7 or 8 on the hazard scale.
Find out.
Just go to the Cosmetic Safety Database and search either the product that you use or the company that makes it. You’ll see the search tool right there on their home page.
I just searched “Olay” for an example. The database tells me that Olay has 279 products listed from 1 to 9. I clicked the “OLAY AGE DEFYING AGE DEFYING ANTI-WRINKLE DAILY LOTION, SPF 15″.
It tells me that this product rates a hazard rating of 7 out of 10, and is not recommended. And it tells you what the problems with it are. It tells you that the products ingredients are linked to:
1. Cancer.
2. Developmental/reproductive toxicity.
3. Allergies.
4 And a list of other concerns.
(and that the company tests on animals too. And that they haven’t signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.)
So if you’ve read our site, and you’re concerned about the safety of the products you may be using, including sunscreens, skincare products, anti aging products, cosmetics and more, you can research exactly what the problems you face may be.
