“Each day American women reach for shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, moisturizer, and dusting powder. We apply blusher, eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick, then maybe dab on nail polish and perfume. We have just exposed ourselves to 200 different chemicals.”
Joel Bleifuss-Author “ To Die For”; In These Times; February 17, 1997 & Take a Powder”, These Times, March 3, 1997
“Cosmetics are among the most unregulated, and therefore most potentially harmful, consumer products on the market. Consumers fail to realize that what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body.”
Peter Phillips Author, Director “Project Censored 1997 & 1998”, The News That Didn’t Make the News
“One of the cosmetic toxins that consumer advocates are most concerned about are nitrosamines, which contaminate a wide variety of cosmetic products. In the 1970’s, the nitrosamine contamination of cooked bacon and other nitrate-treated meats in the food industry became a public health issue. But today nitrosamines contaminate cosmetics at significantly higher levels than were once contained in bacon.Begoin, Paula Blue Eyeshadow Should Still Be Legal, Beginning Press, 1988
