How many companies can keep their ethics up when the pressure on revenues is so high? Short term investments have many downsides. Most pregnant women try to adapt and do what is best for the baby but how do you keep up with all the news and alarms? I really believe that we would benefit from regulations on the stuff we put ON our bodies as well. And using available labels like USDA organic of course but so very few cosmetic companies can live up to that standard. Exactly.

Stuff you put ON your body isn't nearly as regulated as stuff you put IN your body and the stuff you put IN your body is probably more important, not that this isn't. The hormonal dance that goes on during development and throughout life is complicated and delicate. I don't believe that any company says things like, "This will make her look good, but it will f*** up her baby..." Complete long-term testing is also difficult, expensive, and not entirely error-proof. That said, I do think companies should be ethical enough to be ready to pull any product that can be shown to have certain side-effects. Then there's the ethical issue of testing on humans Vs rats. I guess one answer is is to have several sources, beyond Gov and Corp PR, looking at and analyzing these products, but then you have the competitors who will lie about a product or company to push their product/agenda. So who can we really rely on for accurate info? Sorry to ramble, it's an interesting and complicated issue. <abbr><em>Gregs last blog post..<a href="http://blog.gems4friends.com/2008/09/25/testing/" rel="nofollow">testing</a></abbr></em> How can they?
