This preservative that is commonly in our cosmetic also disrupts the endocrine system
and is labeled in the Cosmetics Database as “High Hazard”. Another potentially harmful
chemical to consumer used in cosmetics is Propylparaben. This chemical causes irritation
and severe reaction to people who are allergic to it. This chemical is considered to be a
moderate hazard chemical. “Retinyl Palmitate is a synthetic form of vitamin A and may be
toxic to pregnant woman.” (Gerstein, 2012) This chemical found in cosmetics is labeled as
moderate only because of the lack of evidence and studies in pregnant woman that use
cosmetics that contain this ingredient. Lipstick also contains many dyes and chemicals
that help make the color of the lipstick that are potentially harmful to people. Colorants
such as D&C Red 36 and D&C Red Aluminum Lake are usually tested on animals first
before going into the department store but the studies done with these colorants suggest
direct affects to nervous system damage and other health issues. Tocopheryl Acetate is
most commonly used in a wide range of products. It is used in things such as lipstick to
moisturizer to foundation. If you are allergic to this ingredient you may experience itching,
burning hives and even skin blistering. The only way to know if you are allergic to these
ingredients is to have previously known or unfortunately to find out the hard way. Many
cosmetic counters that I have visited have suggested that I first try out a new product on
the underside of my wrist to test to see if I am allergic to the product or not. (Gerstein,

if everyone was committed to true socialism that people would stop being so self-
absorbed and only think about their own self-interest and that they would finally start
making a contribution to the common good. Wealth was also distributed in a different way
instead of making a lot of money by working hard to make a product, wealth was now
about how high you stood on the totem pole of the government. All the power and wealth
came from your position in the Communist party. To not be a part of this Communist party
was to be poor. These government officials also messed up market prices by central
planning. The government officials set market prices for goods and resources at whatever
they wanted with no correlation between supply and demand. As a result of this
centralized planning people used up more raw materials and was slow in production of
exports because nobody had the incentive to produce anything. The Soviets could not
come up with a price system because then it would conflict with everything the Socialist
party ever said about everyone receiving their fair share at the end of the day. An
economy needs a system to determine future supply and demand of a resource and how
