Safe Cosmetics
November 4th, 2007
Recently the Executive Vice President of the Science Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association issued a statement against lead in cosmetics such as lipstick.
“Despite continuous allegations over the years, lead is not intentionally added to cosmetics. Lead is a naturally occurring element that is found everywhere in the environment. Consumers are exposed daily to lead when they eat, drink water and breathe the air. The average amount of lead a woman would be exposed to when using cosmetics is 1,000 times less than the amount she would get from eating, breathing, and drinking water that meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drinking water standards.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also addressed the issue of safe cosmetics and posted these tips on their Web site, www.fda.gov/womens/getthefacts/cosmetics.html.
* Follow directions on the label carefully, including all “Cautions” and “Warnings.”
* Keep makeup closed tight when not in use.
* Wash your hands before you put on makeup.
* Do not put on makeup while you are driving.
* Do not share makeup with anyone else.
* Do not add liquid to makeup.
* Stop using a product if you get a rash or other problem where you are using it.
* Throw away makeup if the color changes.
* Throw away makeup if it gets an odor.
* Be extra careful not to keep mascara too long. Some companies say three months is long enough.
* Do not use eye makeup if you have an eye infection. Throw away eye makeup you were using when you got the infection.
* Keep makeup out of the sun.
* Do not use spray cans while you are smoking or near a source of heat. It could also cause a fire.
If you have a problem or complaint with a cosmetic that you have purchased, contact the FDA.

Thanks for your ideas. One thing I’ve noticed is that often banks along with financial institutions know the dimensions and spending patterns of consumers and understand that many people max away their own credit cards around the breaks. They smartly take advantage of this kind of fact and then start flooding ones inbox along with snail-mail box together with hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers shortly when the holiday season closes. Knowing that should you be like 98% in the American open public, you’ll hop at the one opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and switch balances for 0 APR credit cards.

Moving home in Germany is extremely expensive, indeed the few miles from my little village to the barn cost me 2000.00 Euros, as much as it might have require me to pay having a UK removal firm to move my household goods all the way from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very expensive, perhaps one of the reasons why the labour marketplace is less flexible – people would rather stay put once they’ve moved to a location.
