Think about the number of products we use every day in our lives and just how many of us do not realize we are putting our health at risk by using them. There are countless products and companies out there competing for your business and though many of them are sought after, we are so caught up in looking and smelling good, we forget the hazards that may come along with our overwhelming desire to look and smell good.

I am all for excellent, personal hygiene so by no means am I trying to talk anyone out of using these types of products. I simply wish to make you aware that some of them may be hazardous when others are completely safe to use. The FDA (Food and Dug Administration) DOES NOT require any safety testing of ingredients that go into perfumes, colognes and cosmetics. Currently, there are thousands of chemicals available to use in creating fragrances and though most of them are considered hazardous and even toxic, less than a dozen have bans by the FDA.

The Web site, www.cosmeticdatabase.com has safety information on thousands of products we use daily. You can go to this site and type in your product’s name and see for yourself, if you are at risk. There is extensive research behind every listed product so you may feel confident with your search. Be sure to share this Web site with everyone you know, . . . a Wise Consumer is a Healthy Consumer.
