Like many people, I assumed that we lived in a highly regulated country, so the products I was using in my house must be safe. I honestly, never even questioned the safety of my shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, or foundation at all. Why should I? Why would the government allow us to use unsafe products. Right? They regulate everything else! Well, the personal care industry is the BIGGEST violator of all. There are very minimal regulations. Companies are allowed to use harmful ingredients and make their own judgments about safety. WHAT!?! Did you know that some of those "harmful ingredients" can CAUSE infertility or disrupt reproductive organs! And these are things that we use on our skin on a daily basis and get absorbed into the biggest organ in our body - our SKIN!!! Just think of how many products you use? Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Hair Products, Hand Soap, Laundry Detergent, the list goes on!!! |
