I went to this "Toxic Tuesday" lunch, and found some of the information pretty useful. One of the best resources they talked about was the website: www.SafeCosmetics.org.
The speakers did an excellent job laying out the case that we need tighter regulation of chemicals in our consumer products. The European Union puts a lot more effort into protecting consumers from dangerous chemicals in consumer products than the US FDA does.
