Planned Parenthood & Maine Women's Policy Center Partner to Screen Groundbreaking film on Harmful Chemicals in Cosmetics
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
- Simplify: use less products less often and choose products with shorter ingredient lists and fewer hazardous synthetic chemicals;
- Avoid the mystery concoction known as “fragrance,” made from a dozen or more secret chemicals;
- Read labels: Thankfully there are great resources online to help consumers make sense of confusing product labels. One of the best is the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database at www.cosmeticsdatabase.org, which ranks products for toxicity on a scale of 1-10.
