Triclosan This chemical is in most antibacterial products, including soap, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Triclosan is often contaminated with dioxins, this is highly carcinogenic and can weaken your immune system decrease fertility, and cause birth defects. Do you want this in your products?
Aluminum I thought it was what you kept food in but apparently it's in our daily products as well. It's used in eye shadow and deodorants it is listed as a carcinogenic, toxic and mutagenic. Wow, maybe I should not use this to wrap food in. do you want this in your products?
Hydroquinone This can be found in skin lighteners and facial moisturizers, it's a known neurotoxin and allergenic. Do you want his in your products?
Fragrance, this terms is used for a lot of ingredients, one is phthalates which disrupt the endocrine system, it could cause reproductive and developmental harm. YUCK.

Chairman Bifocal. A little more classic in style.
We recently went on a trip to Wyoming and Colorado. There are two things that happen to be when traveling. I don't sleep well and my beauty routine is not what it should be, plus the environment is different from at home. It's funny the environment I can deal with and the beauty routine as well. It's the lack of sleep that shows up on my face and really makes my skin look shallow and lacking in color. They say you never catch up on sleep but after last night's big snore I am not so sure that's true. I feel a thousand times better and happier today just because I got a lot of sleep.
As you know I have been researching this company to see where they stand with animal testing. I checked with PETA and the ASPCA and they are not listed there as being animal free testing. My guess is that the actual products are not animals tested but that some of the ingredients are animal tested. Remember what I always say if it's been tested on an animal it cannot possibly be good for you.
