Make Up Danger for Pregnant Women

France is intending to label cosmetics according to their safety for pregnant women.

The report suggested that the affect was due to hormone disruption caused by chemicals in the hairspray.The British government want the EU to address the issue in a complete fashion rather than as an isolated agenda, for which reason they want to see it added to the European Cosmetics Directive . . . read article.

Why Choose Certified Organic Skin Care?

The only way you can be assured that you are purchasing Real Organic products produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and GMO's is to purchase products which have been organically certified with a leading independent certifying body.

Five Benefits of Choosing Certified Organic:
1. Good for the soil
Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.

2. Good for the environment
Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.

3. Good for people
Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic ingredients.

4. No synthetic chemicals
Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers.

5. No GMO's
Certified Organic products are produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the standards for organic food and farming.

What is the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics?

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a national coalition of health and environmental groups
working to protect our health by eliminating chemicals linked to cancer and other health problems from personal care products. We want the government and cosmetics companies to make sure products are safe for our long-term health before they hit store shelves.

What is the problem?
· Products we use every day -- including shampoo, deodorant, lotions and make-up --
contain chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, reproductive problems and learning
disabilities. Hazardous chemicals to not belong in products we use on our bodies.

· The FDA is failing to protect our health. Cosmetics are among the least regulated
products on the market. Major loopholes in federal law allow companies to put unlimited
amounts of nearly any chemical into cosmetics -- even chemicals that are known to harm
human health, such as lead and formaldehyde.

· Worse, an industry-funded panel called the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel—not the
FDA—is currently in charge of reviewing the safety of cosmetics!

· Americans are less protected than consumers in other countries. The European
Union has banned more than 1,100 harmful chemicals from cosmetic products. In the
U.S., only ten ingredients are restricted.

I am a big fan of safe cosmetics and have used their database for a long time to rate the product I put on my face and body. For the past few months I've been using the Miessence product line from Australia, it is certified organic food grade product.
