Are products approved by the Food and Drug Administration always safe?
Not always. According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest Skin Report, 74% of all cosmetic products have harmful ingredients with at least 51% of them having known cancer causing agents. Many synthetic ingredients used in cosmetics in the United States have been banned in Europe for decades due to their known links as dangerous health hazards and skin destroyers. In fact, more than 450 personal care ingredients have been outlawed over the past 67 years by the European Union, whereas only nine have been outlawed by the United States FDA over the same time period.
