Healthy Cosmetics?

This is from my Living Green 365 Newsletter:

Several ingredients in personal care products have been identified as unhealthy. Some compounds of concern include parabens and other preservatives, siloxanes, phthalates, musks and other fragrance components, and benzophenone (BP-3).
You can look for products that are nontoxic. The tricky part is that ingredient safety testing is not required by law for cosmetics. And manufacturers are not required to completely disclose all ingredients on the product label if the ingredient is considered a trade secret or if it falls under the broad categories of fragrance or flavoring.

Some tips for choosing healthy personal care products:
Simplify the number of products you use.
Choose fragrance-free products.
Learn more about ingredient names and terms to avoid from the resources below.
Always read the ingredients list on personal care products.
