Although there’s been a lot of bad news about safe cosmetics, it’s not all bad.
We’ve written extensively about dangerous ingredients in cosmetics and skin care products, and also about the importance of using natural skin care products that don’t contain dangerous ingredients.
And we’ve highlighted some of the studies done which show such problems with cosmetics and skin care products like lead in lipsticks and phthalates in personal and beauty and body care products. And also about parabens in skin care products and cosmetics.
From time to time come good news comes along and today is such a day. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has alerted us today that they have detected a decline in the levels of phthalates in some products. In particular they point to the perfume Poison.
They found 4 different phthalates in Poison during the last test, but this time they have tested Poison and found it to be – less poisonous. No phthalates at all. This is great news and means, it appears, that the body care and cosmetics and perfume companies are starting to take notice of the fact that the public don’t want poisonous ingredients in their cosmetics and skin care products.
It would seem obvious wouldn’t it?
But a small step is an important one nevertheless. And the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics says it isn’t confined just to Poison, but there are signs that some of the bigger companies are slowly removing poisonous ingredients like phthalates from their products this has to be good.

Actually the first consideration isn’t which anti aging product is the best.
We have had a reader send us a question. Which is the best anti aging skin care product? And so we’ve reproduced our answer here for everyone to read.
| Dear Susan,
We think, before you consider which is the best anti aging skin care product you need to ask a preliminary question. For us there is a question that we think is much more important than how well a particular skin care product works.
The question is this. How safe are those skin care products? Because unfortunately many skin care products contain nasty ingredients and can be unsafe. So before you even begin to consider how well any particular skin care product works you need to consider if it offers any dangers to you if you use it.
Because no matter how well any anti aging skin care product works it’s of no use to you if it is potentially dangerous. And there are many skin care products that are potentially dangerous, and listed as a cancer risk.
No amount of great skin care would justify to us taking a risk of getting cancer. We’d put up with wrinkles from our head to our feet before we took a risk with cancer.
That’s not to say that if you use skin care products you’ll get cancer, but the RISK is there. Just have a look at some of the big brand name skin care products at the Cosmetic Safety Database and see what risks they detect.
Only once you’ve established that a product or a product range is safe would we even begin to think about how well it works.
That’s why we are so anxious to get the word out about Xtend Life. Because they offer a top shelf range of natural skin care products that are, firstly, safe. They are a signatory to the Compact for Safe Cosmetics and have a stated commitment to making natural skin care products that are SAFE ENOUGH TO EAT.
You can’t do much better than that for safety. And to reiterate, safety comes before how well a product works. Fortunately the Xtend Life products work equally as well as their commitment to safety.
So by all means consider how well skin care products work, but if it was us we would always ask first, how SAFE are these skin care products, and research them well, using the methods we’ve outlined here before.
Best Wishes
