Hi Amy, Congratulations on
the site, it's excellent :-)
I wonder if you can help
me with this - I'm after information,
preferably online but books/magazine
articles as well, about the
potential dangers of cosmetics
- I mean physical dangers such
as containing carcinogens, rather
than the psychological damage
they can do. I wondered if you
could point me at any useful
sources of data?
Many thanks, Kim

Thanks for your note to Feminist.com--and
for thinking that we could help
with your research. I have a
few suggestions, but the best
place is to go directly to EcoMall's
"Green Shopping Magazine" (http://www.ecomall.com/greenshopping).
There you can do a search for
"cosmetics," and discover articles
such as: Natural
vs. Synthetic Cosmetics.
Also, a few groups to contact
for more information:
Environmental
Research Foundation
Mothers
& Others for a Livable Planet
Public
Interest Research Group
(202-546-9707; fax (202) 546-2461.)
Those resources should lead
you to the information you are
looking for. Perhaps the next
step is to get the latter group
involved in forcing cosmetic
companies to put warning labels
on their products. Hmmm.....
—Amy
