How do you know if a beauty product is safe?
How do you know if a beauty product is safe? A good place to start is the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Safety Database. You can enter the name of an ingredient, product or brand, hit the search button and get a safety rating between 1 and 10 (1 being the safest and 10 the least safe).
What are the 5 main categories of cosmetic products?
Specifically, there are seven categories of cosmetics and personal care products – oral care, skin care, sun care, hair care, decorative cosmetics, body care and perfumes.
Are cosmetics Safe?
Although many ingredients in makeup are safe, a number of common ingredients can be harmful to both the body and the environment. In the United States, there is no law that requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve cosmetics.
