Non Organic Ingredients in skin care products

All of these chemicals are mandated by Federal Law to be Tested on Animals, because of the health risks. Maybe the product isn't tested on animals but, the ingredients are. They are all involved with animal cruelty.

Are Your Products Safe? (Statement from Campaign for safe Cosmetics)

"The chemicals in any one consumer product alone are unlikely to cause harm. But unfortunately, we are repeatedly exposed to industrial chemicals from many different sources on a daily basis, including cosmetics and personal care products.

Many of these chemicals have gotten into our bodies, our breast milk and our children. Some of these chemicals are linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems that are on the rise in the human population. Some chemicals found in a variety of cosmetics — including phthalates, acrylamide, formaldehyde and ethylene oxide — are listed by EPA and the state of California as carcinogens or reproductive toxins."

The U.S Laws don't always work (Statement made by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics)

" Major loopholes in federal laws allow the $35 billion cosmetics industry to put unlimited amounts of chemicals into personal care products with no required testing, no monitoring of health effects, and inadequate labeling requirements."

Statement from the FDA found From the FDA website:

"The regulatory requirements governing the sale of cosmetics are not as stringent as those that apply to other FDA-regulated products... Manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."
