GRRRR!!! FDA Lets Shampoo Companies Get Away with Murder

What Kind of toxic, carcinogenic crap is in your perfumes, laundry detergent, and lotion? Well, due to an FDA loophole, companies that make this stuff don’t have to reveal ingredients if they’re part of a ‘fragrance’. The FDA requires companies to list all other ingredients, but fragrances are considered ‘trade secrets’ under an obviously outdated law. Am I the only person who finds this TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS? Check the Environmental Working Group’s video below (and their great website, the Cosmetics Database, for more information and to support their campaign to get the FDA to work for the American people and not corporations that make personal care products.)

  1. sad….does not have to cost the manufacturer or the consumer a lot of $ to do the right thing. That’s why I started promoting an all natural product…but alas, I can not make a living at that so have had to take a traditional job again. Still use the all natural product line though and at least know our family is better for it as well as the people I have been able to reach. If I simple had the money or backing….I could have helped a lot more people find the truth!
