Why is it that the more complex or ’scientific’ the description of our skin care is the more we a willing to pay for it?
Growth hormones? Gene therapy? Cellular?
How do we really know these products are safe?
If a facial cream really does contain hormones what effect does this have on or health? We don’t know do we?
But we do know that there is very little control of the cosmetics industry.

Pregnant Women don’t Panic: but Your Sons might become Infertile

How long can this go on?
First they present evidence that our sons can become infertile and get testicle cancer due to chemicals in body creams and perfumes.
Then they advise us not to panic.
Many cosmetic products contain chemicals that can damage reproductive system of the male foetus.
Research on rats carried out by Professor Richard Sharpe, principal investigator at the Medical Research Council’s Human Sciences Unit, has found that the damage can happen as early as in week 8 of your pregnancy. A time when many women do not even know that they are pregnant!

The Black Sheep of the Organic Industry
September 16, 2008 by Carolin · 4 Comments
When will we start putting REAL demands on the cosmetics and skin care industry?
The organic industry is booming. We buy more and more organic foods. We search for organic clothing, and organic gardening is becoming really popular.
One industry that has been left out is the cosmetics industry. Sure there is mineral makeup and products that are called “natural” or “organic”.
But what do the words “natural” or “organic” mean to the cosmetics industry?

Summer is around the corner and we’ll all want to walk around in sandals and flip-flops. But your feet might not be so pretty after being cramped in warm boots all winter. Tired, dry feet with cracked heels are common and not very difficult heal. If your feet are dry it’s important to clean and moisturize your feet every day.
To get rid of cracked heels follow this natural formula couple of times a week or even everyday:
- Soak your feet in hot water with few drops of honey
- Carefully dry your feet
- Moisturize your feet using 1 teaspoon of Vaseline and the juice of one lemon.
Did you know that dry feet and cracked heels can be a sign of you body lacking good essential fats?

Fake Organic Skincare

Now who do we trust?
I just read that the Attorney General of California has filed a lawsuit against:
- Avalon Natural
- Whole Foods Market California
- Beaumont Products
- Nutribiotic
This because they have failed to give clear and reasonable warning of the presence of 1,4-Dioxane in their products.
Under the states Proposition 65 consumer products should not expose consumers to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without giving clear and reasonable warning. And when adding 1,4-Dioxane in their products Avalon Natural and the others failed to follow the law.
Is 1,4-Dioxane bad?
Water containing 1,4-dioxane causes cancer in lab rats.
Studies in animals have shown that skin contact with 1,4-dioxane can result in liver and kidney damage.
Even big companies that market themselves an natural and better are not to be trusted.
I always thought that natural meant existing in or formed by nature -not artificial.
But the industry standard has become that natural is any ingredient derived from something natural. Derived with a synthetic process. They can make “natural” vanilla aroma from cow dung. I wish natural could be not artificial and stop having to feel like I need to check and double check everything I buy.
