              extremely unregulated

             Out of over 10,000
              cosmetic ingredients
              available for use, only
              about 10% have been
              tested for safety

Shopping Natural Cosmetics(continued)

                 Check if the ingredient has any
                  preservatives. Preservatives
                  such as Parabens are very
                  harmful and cancer causing



                 Shop Brands you trust!!

Shopping Natural Cosmetics

                 Be skeptical if a brand does not
                  disclose a full ingredient listing
                  for each of their products
                  (Except for fragrances)

                 Check to see if a product is
                  petroleum or mineral based, or
                  if it is made of synthetic
                  cleansers (usually sodium
                  lauryl sulphate or something
                  with “eth” in the name)
