2 Top Tips To Start Identifying Harmful Cosmetics Today

Recently, a world famous company which manufactures baby skincare products has agreed to reformulate its line of baby skincare products as its items have been found to contain well known toxins. When large companies such as this one, which we do not wish to mention, are forced to reformulate the chemical components of their products due to pressure from concerned parents, it only raises the concern as to the harmful chemicals still present in the various cosmetics we use. Everyone wishes to use organic and natural products, yet choosing these is harder than it seems. Here’s why, and how we can easily make an educated choice!

1) See if the claims are regulated: Companies shall of course use say anything what shall get the products sold by the populace. After all, that is why there are in business. If saying something good about their products result in more sales, then it is fine for most companies out there. For instance, many companies claim that their skin care products are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. Johnson & Johnson says that its baby shampoo line means that babies shall have ‘No More Tears’. Companies also say that its products are ‘natural’, ‘fragrance free’, ‘allergen free’ and ‘paraben free’. However, these are only claims. These are not investigated into by governments or by any other regulatory bodies.

Even the term ‘organic’ is mostly just a claim. Even if the claim is regulated by the government, there are certain gaps and loopholes in the law that allows companies to get away with almost anything. Due to the gaps in the laws themselves, doing so is not illegal as long as there is not a major problem. The best thing for you to do is to pay attention to the ingredient list while buying anything. It never lies!
