Without mercury Mascara by Afterglow Cosmetics

From 1 January 2008, the state law banning mercury in all masks, eye liners and skin-lightening creams entered force in Minnesota.

This bold move to ban mercury in makeup makes the great state of Minnesota the first state in the nation to ban intentionally added mercury in cosmetics and sets a standard tougher than the federal government for regulating cosmetic ingredients. "The mercury does not cause neurological damage to people even in small quantities, "said Sen. John Marty, the Democrat who sponsored the ban. "Every source of mercury adds to it. We wanted to ensure he was not here."

So your first question probably. . .

Why is not mercury already banned in cosmetics? Well, that's a long story, but the short version is that the U.S. FDA banned very, very, very few chemicals in cosmetics. Mercury is not one of them. In fact, Europe, Korea and Japan have banned many chemicals still common in cosmetics in the U.S..

I see my stamp of mercury in mascara ingredients. Does that mean it is free of mercury? The actual ingredient name containing Mercury is called thimerosal. Is mercury-containing organic compounds used as a preservative and anti-fungal from the 1920s. Thimerosal has been banned in all the world but not in the U.S. (except for Minnesota).

What do I do now? Ladies, the bottom line, in my opinion is not really on mercury, but rather, it is the lack of regulation in general in the U.S. for the safety of cosmetic ingredients. So What is a girl to do? Most women will not be the chemicals in their free time to continue the international regulation of cosmetic ingredients to see whether products are safe. Instead, I suggest you look for companies that focus on safety and transparency regarding the ingredients they use.

The long awaited, all natural Afterglow cosmetics mascara is here! Beautifully lush and all natural, Pure Soul Mascara is available in Onyx (black) and Mink (dark brown).

The Ugly Truth About Commercial Cosmetics

cosmeticsI chemicals that most of us take for granted that the popular cosmetics soaps, lotions and products for hair care shopping at our local salons, drug and department stores are safe. Why consumers would be able to buy and use a product in our skin, lips, eyes and hair every day if they are harmful? This was not even a question I'd asked me himself because he was so confident in my products and well known companies that produce them. First, began investigating the cosmetics when I decided to start my own cosmetics company. When I started researching the ingredients in my makeup and shower products like soap and shampoo, I was surprised to discover that almost all did not contain one or two but multiple hard to pronounce chemicals, synthetic, very dangerous.

Over 90% of all ingredients in commercially available cosmetics are of synthetic origin and directly linked to serious health risks such as cancer, infertility, kidney disease and liver and severe skin problems. Environmental Working Group report called, "Skin Deep" found that nearly 90 percent of the more than 10,000 ingredients used in personal care products have not been evaluated by government regulators. At the same time, beyond the 20,000 different cosmetic products that are the platform for sales in the U.S., over 80% of products surveyed contained one or more ingredients that have caused documented adverse reactions in humans and animals in the past.

The FDA has banned or restricted just nine ingredients in personal care products in whole 67 years (the history of the FDA 2000). On September 6 1997, the Boston Globe reported that "The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, has identified more than 125 cosmetic ingredients suspected to cause cancer and others that can cause birth defects. "! Many of the pollutants still is widely used in cosmetic products in the States U.S. has long banned

in the other countries. Unfortunately, the United States gives legal vacuum incredible cosmetic companies discretion to select, manufacture and sale of products loaded with questionable ingredients, leaving consumers will ultimately suffer. The Most major cosmetics and personal care companies will tell you not to worry. They agree that there are many chemicals in their products, but say that the quantities are small and not affect you. At first glance this seems reasonable. Unfortunately, this is a sugar coated public relations response and not athand identifies the real issue. Medical science has shown that humans exposed over time to very small amounts of harmful chemicals indeed, suffer the consequences.

Medical science has shown that even the thin patches we stick to the arms or stomach with very small amounts pharmaceutical chemicals can very effectively deliver chemicals into the bloodstream, changing body chemistry. Trans transdermal patches containing trace amounts of nicotine can deliver chemicals directly into the bloodstream to alter the whims of snuff. The alternative contraceptive back to the "pill" is a patch that contains very low levels of hormones and still have the ability to stop a woman from getting pregnant.

The disconcern real motivation behind the cosmetics industry is money and profit. The chemicals, dyes and charges listed below are in almost all cosmetic products because they may be made incredibly cheap and have a long useful life. If they had to discontinue use of these chemicals healthier alternatives that would seriously reduce their profit margins to give chemical free beauty products. In this battle of their benefits replaced their health. As a consumer, your answer should only stop using their products.

Large companies in the personal care industry are only motivated to be interested in their profits because the United States Government, specifically the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate or require any federal test, before an impartial cosmetic or personal care, arrived in stores. The FDA makes a cosmetics manufacturers to test their own products. In essence, consumers are the cosmetics industry Commercial guinea pig. Not surprisingly, virtually none of them need to test on animals more! The consumer is now a guinea pig of choice!

Today, cosmetic companies in North America alone generate more than $ 30 billion in sales each year. Advertising through celebrities, magazine ads and spot television, giving hope for a younger complexion bright, the hair more beautiful and more attractive features. What is not mentioned the long list of chemicals covered in that promise. As the industry is unregulated, many cosmetics companies do not even bother to list ingredients in their products.

It is troubling then, in light of all information we know about chemicals in the products we slather on our skin every day, that we are more informed and outraged by the consequences of the constant introduction of these chemicals in our bodies. Little is known about the long-term effects of chemicals derived from petroleum and synthetic products that rubs daily skin as cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, etc. At this point scientists and researchers know that these chemicals pose a threat to human health and fertility and have been found in our bodies and breast milk. The chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products are linked to defects birth, hormonal disorders and fertility problems not to mention more pervasive cosmetic damage such as rashes, mild to severe acne and eczema. Many people use cosmetics and lotions to cure skin problems. Ironically, the products they are using and the hope of a cure are the very same products that are causing the problem!

Even after reading all this I am sure they are still thinking, "I doubt that the use of products every day are the chemicals you are talking. "I thought so too until I looked at the research of a few different sources, such as the Environmental Working Group. I to resort to these research groups from most of my cosmetic ingredients list anywhere on the packaging. I soon discovered that some of my (ex) favorite cosmetics companies ranked among the worst for levels of toxins in your cosmetics.

For more details about chemicals specific concerns, please visit the website of the Working Environment - click here. Please keep in mind, the GTA is not testing the products each cosmetics company for this study. If the products you currently use are not mentioned please investigate list.If its cosmetic ingredient is thinking you just start buying cosmetics that say "organic," "natural," "hypoallergenic" or "based on plants "to prevent these hazardous chemicals Please be careful. Products with these labels often still contain these dangerous chemicals, minerals and synthetic materials, because there is no regulation or standard that companies label their products are required to follow. Read the ingredients.

The typical adult uses nine cosmetic / personal care products a day with a daily average load of around 126 chemicals. Most of these chemicals (including the aforementioned) are absorbed into the body through the skin. Others are found in lipstick and lip balm really eat while leaving your mouth when you eat, drink or wet your lips.

Cosmetic companies use synthetic products and charges in its products to keep costs low and give the highest possible profit margin. Cents are spending dollars you spend at your local pharmacy or department store to buy their products. What you are paying is a image of beauty perpetuated in the ads. They usually do not pay for quality with most commercial cosmetic brands.

What can be done to save his skin and body to exposure to a life of chemicals safe? Get informed, read the labels, research products without the ingredient list. There are alternatives wilderness that is best for you and your skin. Afterglow Cosmetics offers a beautiful, 100% safe cosmetic alternative. None of our cosmetic products containing ingredients harmful as those mentioned above.
