Women, don’t buy anymore cosmetics

Do they at least have to label it on the ingredients so we can chose to NOT buy it?

Were they testing it and now they are going to stop testing it? Or have they never tested for and the proposed rule to begin is getting nixed? Those are different landscapes.

Asbestos can be found in talc-based cosmetics, because talc can be mined in proximity to asbestos. It is not intentionally added, but because talc and asbestos can be found together in the earth, contamination is a risk. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that can cause cancer.

So yes, it is worth the reaction, and it's not "nothing"

Similar to asbestos and lead in crayons. Unintended byproduct. Asbestos is hazard when inhaled as fibers. Powdery makeup for example. We know better and can do better. You are correct it’s the quiet low key hard to see that creeps in and becomes normalized. Thanks for this Desmond!
