Editor's Notes
- The study of aesthetics By Immanuel Kant. “ But our desire for beauty is likely to outlast its object because, as Kant once observed, unlike all other pleasures, the pleasure we take in beauty is inexhaustible.” (1) I wanted to talk a little bit about the history of beauty. Throughout history women have shown their desire to enhance their appearance through cosmetics. The desire to be beautiful because of what beauty can demand is why the relationship with cosmetics is so powerful.
- On a personal note, I would like to pay closer attention to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), the ingredient used in hair dyes. This agent is what gives the hair dyes its black color and is a known carcinogen. I have recently discovered that I am allergic to PPD in hair dyes. My alternative is henna or any natural hair dyes without PPD.
- There are two videos representing two different perspectives. The FDA speaks out on cosmetics and regulations/non-regulations. What do you think about the fact that cosmetics are released to the public first and, then reigned in if the product proves to be hazardous. Or that there are nuances involved in defining a product. How should the FDA govern such issues. Iron fist or leave things the way they are.
- So what are phthalates?
- Has anything changed for the consumer to create a safer environment over the years? Should Latisse or any other eyelash products with the active ingredient in Allargan be used for cosmetic purposes. Should doctors be prescribing this product to patients without glaucoma, the disease the product was intended to treat. Clip b , How can you trust an ingredient when one of the ingredients is a secret ingredient. Given the amount of side effects of the product and the fact that it is administered close to your eyes.
- These are nine of the top 20 companies that use unsafe chemical ingredients in their products. The second link leads to the grassroots organization, Environmental working group which holds companies accountable by highlight what goes in the cosmetics consumers use.
