I am becoming more familiar with the serious impact that various manmade chemicals are having on our children’s endocrine system. In addition, I am increasingly amazed that these chemicals are unregulated. How is this possible?
But the good news is that you can go to the cosmetic safety database below and check out most products. The search engine searches the manufacturer’s own data sheets. It does not list the additional chemicals that they exclude because they claim trade secrets.
Check it out with you and your spouse’s lotions, creams, soaps, and make-up and then enter your son’s and daughter’s products.

This is frightening and disturbing. I rarely wear makeup, but don’t think twice about what is in my soap, shampoo, hand lotion, etc. I also wonder what chemicals were in makeup in the sixties, when I was a teen.
Go to your shower, grab the products adn sit down at the computer and let me know how they rated.
I already did, and everything is a 5 or 6 rating, which is not good. I am looking through the site to find alternatives. Why aren’t regulations in place to protect us from manufacturers selling toxic products?
There are many good products with a one or two rating. Try Whole Foods (not sure where you are) on Columbus Circle (New York).
