You know, I’m fairly new to the cosmetic industry, having bought the Affordable Mineral Makeup Company just 6 weeks ago. I didn’t know a whole heck of a lot about the industry. I just bought my cosmetics like millions of other women, just like you, thinking the products were OK’d by good old Uncle Sam.
The first thing I found out was that I was wrong. And not just wrong, but wildly wrong and completely ignorant about being put in harm’s way by an industry that is self regulating and that absolutely, positively uses toxins in their products. With friends like these…
Do you know that the existing law, on the books since 1938, states that the FDA cannot even call for product recalls even in cases where products were found to contain illegal levels of toxins. I think you should read this last sentence again. All I can say is “you’ve got to be kidding me!”
Not that I don’t think this is horrendous, but worse yet, some of this toxic stuff is in baby products. Really. Learn more about safer cosmetics right here: watch the just-released video The Story of Cosmetics right now on Affordable Mineral Makeup.
So now, Congress has in front of it a bill to insure that personal care products are free of harmful ingredients. Geez…wonder if it will pass.
Sure I am trying to get my company up to the next level of success, but truth be told, Affordable Mineral Makeup is free of toxins, chemicals and we do not use anything that is tested on animals. It is the biggest no-brainer since we started using our brains. Stop, stop, stop using cosmetics that are loaded with toxins. How dare any company care so little about the health and well being of us? Check out your cosmetics at www.safecosmetics.org and stop helping these companies continue to harm us so they can make a buck. We can do it. Let’s.
