Salute to Campaign for Safe Cosmetics




Today I read an article in San Jose Mercury News about two women who have  been working tirelessly for making a difference in Cosmetics industry. Campaign for Safe cosmetics is an organization which is devoted to expose all the chemicals that are used in making cosmetics. "Stop and think" is the approach that I adopt today before buying any cosmetics.The credit goes to Stacy Maikan and Janet Nudelman who have made their life mission to bring a change to whole multi billion dollar cosmetic industry.

Excerpts from San Jose Mercury News:

"The way  that we think about cosmetics and chemicals has changed because of work that they did". Tracey Woodruff,director of the program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at UC San Francisco.

Around 89% of the ingredients commonly used in cosmetics hadn't been assessed  for health risks.
