Cosmetics to Avoid
Lori Stryker
Many cosmetics we use every day are made from ingredients that may have adverse effects on our health. These may be derived from animals, microbes or are by-products of petroleum production. They may cause allergic reactions, contact dermatitis, or you may simply have ethical reasons prohibiting their use. When deciding on a cosmetic purchase, consider if your desired purchase has an all-natural alternative. The Organic Make-up Company, located at http://www.organicmakeupcompany.com, has excellent, high quality alternatives to skin care and make-up cosmetics, which are free from all the ingredients listed below.
