Yes, indeed. Chemicals are scary things.

I think you should add to the list that we must absolutely avoid dihydrogen oxide. It’s responsible for many deaths every year. And the FDA doesn’t even require that it be labeled by its proper name.

A shame, I tell ya.

Thanks Mr Blobby, that’s a nice sentiment. Sadly that is all it is. The truth is we are beings who are attracted to other beings in ways we are not in charge of. Beauty is power, the power to be noticed, influential, respected, whether that seems fair, or shallow or not. It just is how we function.

If it wasn’t you wouldn’t need to brush your hair or get dressed in order to be a full functioning member of society, but I hope you agree, we do!

Carcinogenic or not, irritating or not – most of the products with this stuff in are just plain unnecessary. You are already beautiful – you don’t need to dye your hair, paint your face or use some specially-formulated skin wash.

Not sure this is very balanced, especially as many refer to allergenic attributes, which more a factor in the person than the product, there are after all rare people who are allergic to water on there skin.

All of these other ‘toxicities’ are HIGHLY dose related too. In the doses used the evidence that it is bad for you is probably very shaky if any at all (feel free to post it).

Dose is a fundamental. to use the water example again, too much of that is also toxic, and can causes brain swelling and death.

it’s so hard to find products without fragrance or sodium laureth sulfate!! essentially, i’ve either got to make my own stuff, shop at a health store, or … remain stinky and gross.
