[Excerpted] "Johnson & Johnson, which makes a range of personal
care products like baby shampoo, acne
cream and antiwrinkle lotion, announced plans Wednesday to remove a host of
potentially harmful chemicals, like formaldehyde, from its line of consumer
products by the end of 2015, becoming the first major consumer products company
to make such a widespread commitment...."
Majia here: It is about time! The FDA regulation of cosmetics is lax. The result is that many cosmetics have ingredients - such as lead and formaldehyde - that are not safe.
A great site for evaluating the safety of the products you use daily is The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
