The FDA does not regulate skin care products. Cosmetic companies have an association that is supposed to monitor the ingredients that are put on our skin, but there is a conflict of interest that corrupts its regulation. Women use between 15 and 25 products every day! Most department store brands are toxic and unsafe to put on our bodies. Natural organic skin care products are now available that are healthy. Parabens are found in most moisturizers, soaps and shampoos. Pthalates are also very commonly put in skin care products, children's toys and pacifiers. Fragrances are used to mask the unpleasant smell of chemicals in these products.
