Before leaving home, expose your body and your family, at least 10 personal care products. Shampoo, soap, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, gel, makeup, talc and others. The result is that your body comes in contact with at least 100 different chemicals every day, and according to health experts, many of these have been linked to adverse effects such as cancer, birth defects and learning problems.

And although the Law on Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act is responsible for monitoring that cosmetic products do not pose a risk to your health and the FDA can take legal action against manufacturers who do not obey the law, this agency does not test cosmetics before they are put up for sale. So take action only if a consumer report any side effects after use of a particular product.
