If consumers have not noticed having reactions to my companys products, should I still be concerned? Aren the levels of chemicals used in products are too low to matter?
Research shows there may be long term, gradual effects linked to chemical ingredients used in cosmetics. The components of a product are not trace contaminants like those found at part-per-million or even part-per-billion levels in food and water. These are the base ingredients of the product, just as flour is an ingredient in bread. We are finding that many chemicals associated with health hazards are stored and accumulate in the body, many passing onto unborn children. Read our report on the chemicals found in newborns to learn more http://www.ewg.org/reports/bodyburden2. EWG is advocating for more protective health standards. Skin Deep has begun to connect the dots, but we really need research on the safety of personal care product ingredients to be required before the bottles ever hit store shelves – and ultimately full toxicity screening of all chemicals we are exposed to before they enter the market.
