The cosmetics lobbyists made a smart commercial move.<br /><br />In any event, after looking more closely at your site I understand why your adamant about your position,<br /><br />I go by a pretty simple mantra in life<br />"would you rather be right, or rather be happy"<br /><br />I always choose happy..<br /><br />Good luck with your business.

I just posted the infographic that I saw somewhere.<br /><br />Thanks for the links so that people can see your side. How objective are "Personal Care Truth" by the way? They describe themselves as "a group of independent cosmetic business owners who represent the interests of the cosmetics industry". It is like reading a defence of sugar written by sugar producers. They may be correct or might not be, but they certainly have a vested interest in this.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-56082603936822414402012-02-05T13:39:14.838-08:002012-02-05T13:39:14.838-08:00And finally (for now) - trust in the FDA is irrel...And finally (for now) - trust in the FDA is irrelevant if, as you say, they don't even regulate cosmetics!

It doesn't make the remotest bit of difference whether you put a "cocktail" (what constitutes a cocktail, btw?) or a single substance on your skin - the number of different substances is toxicologically irrelevant - what IS important is the safety of the substances AS APPLIED, and not what is mentioned in the MSDS. Whether or not the information was first published prior to the existance of the internet is also irrelevant - the point I am making is that it is misinformation made more available (and more readily believed) by its viral spreading across the internet. The main point is that it all varies between distorted and just plain wrong.

The FDA has jurisdiction over all cosmetics and says they are among the safest products consumers can purchase. Health Canada says the same. Cosmetics are safer than roller skates and bicycles.
