I decided to pick my blush that I use, Clinique Blushing Blush Powder. Here is what I found out at the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database. It had a score of 7 out of 10, not so good. I thought that since it was Clinique a more expensive brand of make-up that it would be better, but I was wrong. The ingredients in it can cause cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, allergies, irritations and more. They listed all the ingredients in the product and what percentage of that is bad for you. I was reading through the list and I have not heard of any of the ingredients and most of them are very toxic. It makes me re-think putting it on my face, and how I have been using it for the past two months. I know there is make-up that is all natural or supposed to be, like Bare Minerals. I tried looking it up on the website but I didn’t find anything for it, maybe because it’s a newer product or nothing is wrong with it. Maybe next time before I buy make-up I will see what the rating is so I wont be using a toxic product!

This sure was an interesting website! I can't wait to put it to use in the future!
ReplyDeleteWho knew blush could be so hazardous?? I think this info needs to be put out there for the consumers, because I'm sure if I had never enrolled in this class, that I would never known these hazards existed.
