Is cosmetics safe?

Hi There,





I'm asking this on behalf of my wife.


As you know Cosmetics are actually somekind of a Drug.


Is it really safe? All of these ingredients...





Waiting for your answer.Is cosmetics safe?
Oh Hi,





You're right while cosmetics are defined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act as:


(1) articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance, and


(2) articles intended for use as a component of any such articles; except that such term shall not include soap.





In the United States, cosmetics are being used by teens at a younger and younger age, and cosmetic safety has become quite an issue. Cosmetics can become contaminated with bacteria that the brush or applicator sponge picks up from the skin. Wearing cosmetics to bed, sharing cosmetics, scratching yourself with a mascara wand, and aerosol fumes are the top dangers of cosmetic use.





The most irritating ingredients in cosmetics are talc, dye, fragrance and preservatives. It is unfortunate that the preservatives which prevent bacterial build-up are also very bad for your skin.





It is not surprising, therefore, that there is an increased interest in natural and organic cosmetics. The two main categories of safer cosmetics are mineral cosmetics and hypoallergenic cosmetics.





Mineral cosmetics are quickly coming out of dermatologist clinics and high-end spas to retailer near you. Certified organic products and non-toxic makeup are becoming more mainstream as they demonstrate that they are as effective as those of the leading cosmetic companies. Women who use mineral cosmetics are said to experience fewer break-outs, as they are not affected by chemical preservatives.





Hypoallergenic cosmetics are products that makers claim cause fewer allergic reactions than other products. They are a greathelp to those with sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic cosmetics contain a minimum of allergenic ingredients, such as perfumes and preservatives, which will cause skin irritation and other allergic reactions.





Regards,





Jane

it really depends on the product. if you really are worried about it, there are many organic brands out there that are made from all natural ingredients that she could use. but honestly, there are women who've worn makeup every day their whole life pretty much and never had any problems, so i really wouldnt worry too much. people wouldnt wear it if it wasnt safe
yes there safe. if you are overly concerned about it though you can always go with the mineral brands. for the most part they dont add any of that extra ingredients that some people think are harmful.

unfortunatly they test the products on mice to make sure that they are safe because mice and humans have similar DNA make ups. so yes they are safe, but they have to kill animals to find out.
