View Full Version : Chemical amounts in cosmetic products Luckylove 03-26-2007, 09:12 AM Heres a site where you can look up how many harmful chemicals are in the products you use on you and your babies. Even natural products I thought were OK have tons of chemical. You dont have to sign up, just click no thanks. http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep/ LMS 03-26-2007, 09:27 AM I know!!! isn't that crazy?! MJ2day 03-26-2007, 06:11 PM Good to know. Thanks. karen-clark 03-31-2007, 12:53 AM Bummer, Arbonne isn't listed. I wonder who funds the site, did anyone check them out? My3sonsplus1 03-31-2007, 07:57 AM Bummer, Arbonne isn't listed. I wonder who funds the site, did anyone check them out? I have a ingredient listing of the ABC line in comparision to the NFB line I used rep for. karen-clark 03-31-2007, 11:42 AM I want to know about the RE9 stuff. Diana and I have been playing phone tag on it, she researched it for me and I am hoping for good news :) My3sonsplus1 03-31-2007, 11:45 AM don't you have an ingredient list on your containers? or a box at least? karen-clark 03-31-2007, 11:49 AM I didn't keep any box or inserts and the containers only list 'active ingredients'. I just want to know if there's any hydrogenated stuff. The latest order wasn't for any RE9 stuff but I can keep the inserts and check it out for that stuff at least. I love love love their products I will be heartbroken if I get bad news! I would probably still use it on my face but not the all over body stuff every day. I mean I probably (unintentionally or ignorantly) consume more hydrogenated oil in food than would go on my face but I dunno about my whole body. LOL My3sonsplus1 03-31-2007, 11:55 AM well there are other things to consider besides hydro oils... you can plug the active ingredients in the ingredient finder. Starting with the motto "if you can't pronounce it"/don't know what it is it is worth seeing what it is. Of course some fairly "fancy" words (asorbic acid is vit c) are harmless but lots aren't. My3sonsplus1 03-31-2007, 01:18 PM http://www.sandratillinghast.com/downloads/MakeupMadness.pdf says that "arbonne" doesn't use hydro oils or animal testing so I assume the whole line is safe from that. I think the biggest "thing" with arbonne is it still contains parabens (mildly estrogenic), and some other random "offenders" but parabens are the most used that they have not stepped away from yet and what keeps them from being totally pure imo. karen-clark 03-31-2007, 02:52 PM Cool! Has anyone used any 'mineral makeup' yet? It is basically dirt. That's gotta be pure but I don't know if it is good for you too? My3sonsplus1 03-31-2007, 03:07 PM I haven't tried them (because I don't wear makeup really) but I am in some (natural minded) groups and they run mineral makeup co ops fairly regularly. colleen&Kail 03-31-2007, 03:53 PM Cool! Has anyone used any 'mineral makeup' yet? It is basically dirt. That's gotta be pure but I don't know if it is good for you too? i use bare minerals...is that what you are talking about? karen-clark 04-01-2007, 12:27 AM Colleen is that the name of the brand? I don't know of any specific ones I just keep hearing about them? My brother said my SIL uses bare essentials but I can't find them anywhere. becky 04-01-2007, 12:17 PM i have only seen these sold on infomercials. |
