Organic lipstick: Yay or Nay?
A few months ago, Consumer Reports had a brief but interesting page on what products are worth buying organic and which are not. Not? All cosmetics. Most cosmetics contain a mix of ingredients, and USDA regulations allow shampoos and body lotions to carry an organic label even when water is the primary ingredient.... Not only this, but Only 11 percent of ingredients found in personal-care products, organic or not, have ever been screened for safety. Naturally, this pertains to American products. Organic lipstick also seems like a special case in that you actually swallow quite a bit of it. Do you Hippygals wear organic lipstick? If so, what do you recommend? Please post comments! [GT]
