I was amazed when I found out that some of the ingridients used in everyday beauty products are toxic classified.. cancer hazard, illegal for food use, immune system toxicants and whatnot!

Thank you, that's interesting.

Chanel i.e. got some really bad products there...

i honestly have to say i'm not one bit suprised. i admit that i am seduced by comercial products all the time.
i do try and use homemade products so i know whats in them. sometimes.

yes.. and I was somewhat disappointed about Nivea and L'Oreal

I use St. Ives everyday for years.

and it got into the "red zone" in some of the most hazardous facial scrubs out there with a score of 4 out of 5 for toxicity.
