Hey Jenny,
Interesting how people have a different "take" on what is presented on ones
web site.
I am wondering if perhaps all those things listed are perhaps ingredients
that are not necessarily "toxic", but may have been shown to be an irritant
or can cause an adverse skin reaction. Coconut in excess in soap can be
irritating and drying to the skin, while lots of people could easily be
allergic to cocoa butter, silk, beeswax, lanolin etc. and have those
ingredients cause an adverse effect to the skin. Some ingredients may
contain manufacturing byproducts that "may" contain a toxin. And I have read
that certain chemicals can react to many things therefore rendering it
"toxic".
To bring to ones attention that caution should be taken when purchasing skin
care products. Caution should be taken when formulating your own skin care
products for your own use and for the use of others. To bring to ones mind
that there are millions of ingredients and each one has the potential to be
an irritant.
No, and they don't have to be on the website. It is what is on the actual
label that matters to the FDA.
I have this mans book "Creating Your Own Cosmeceuticals Naturally" and if
you would like any of his research references, I'd be happy to copy it and
ship off, all 223 of them.
Just some food for thought :)
