There’s a better answer to this. Stop using the stuff. I haven’t used such nonsense for decades. My skin is elastic. Smooth. No wrinkles. My hair just starting to thin a wee bit. Late 60’s. I decorate myself in other ways besides cosmetics and shampoos and body lotions and soaps can be had that are natural without fragrances or one can make them oneself. It’s not hard. We The People are complicit in what is happening. We’ve not paid attention and have humiliated and laughed at those who tried to educate. We have developed an unwholesome desire to look forever young because maintaining some male (or femal) interest is more important than being oneself a d healthy which is always more attractive, anyway. We need to stop buying big Ag-grown food: pharmaceuticals; cosmetics from chemical companies; etc. we need to spend our money on healthy alternatives and let those bloody corporations know what we want vs what we do not. That is free trade and true capitalism. If we woukd just walk away from them, they would have no money and thus, no power. Because we do not, they do, and naturally, they are going to ignore the “rules.”
My friend in Vancouver told me had invested in a company that had a patented non-chemical treatment for bed bugs. The FDA was not even interested as they only dealt with approved dealers. They want us in fear all the time.
- PEG is now in vax, so allow PEG back in cosmetics where it was banned for good reason?
- Fluorine in toothpaste:
1500ppm F is common “dosing”.
Can’t read anywhere what amount diffuses insides mucosa and gets resorbed later. ZnF, NaF, all mixed, sometimes in one product. To enhance diffusability or what?
F accumulates and the poisonous dose is equal to the recomended dose elsewhere, in the same country, some get Fluouridosis from 0.1mg/kg, and it has NO use, need or beneficial effects.
It is a neurotoxin. Period. And more.
Our Elmex gelee has 12.5mg per gramm!
Given to our girl as she has some spots without enamel. When she was wuite young.
Now I wonder how to revive her amygdala.
I recommended to her daily use of inorganic antiseptics as oral hygiene and some Detox by healing earth, but she is deaf if it involves regular taking something…
2 good resources for assessing personal care and cleaning products: the Think Dirty app and the Environmental Working Group’s website and app Healthy Living. Both give ratings based on safety of the ingredients and explantations as to why the ingredient is problematic. Think Dirty allows for barcode scanning while shopping so you can compare products.
FDA and CPSC has many great regulations but for the most part they all mfr and importers to self assess. Enforcement only comes following a consumer complaint and the product is then tested by a law firm or retailer at an independent lab and then forward the complaint to FDA or CPSC for recall and fines.
I have always felt the burden of regulatory compliance should be on the retailer selling the product to the consumer. They can have the product tested. Some might argue thats expensive, but they can always pass on the cost to the mfr and consumer (deduction from purchase price and increase of selling price).
Mfr will always cheat. In many cases they use sub-contactors who will cheat them, its the Wild West. I kid you not, 30+ years testing and inspecting product made in Greater China /China for retailers taught me that.
In a lot of cases the tests done by retailers before being shipped means nothing because the mfr or agent sends a clean product to a lab where they are the customer, and the lab business is competitive. Those who cooperate with the mfr/agent get the business.
The only real way to make sure the product they sell is safe is to test product on their shelves, or better yet, test before selling it , but that can be a problem since testing takes time and you lose sales with the delay.
Consumers can always test on their own if they have the money. They might even make some money if they find out a product they bought is unsafe. Just find a lawyer and negotiate.
Unlike Pharma these mfr, importers and retailers have liability. Just go out and test this stuff and nail them to the ground and they will clean up their act quick.
I am retired so not pimping business for test laboratories, but thats the only way to keep mfr/importers honest
Simple solution. All organ drug/cosmetic makers must publish ingredients to blockchain codex. Makers must follow “do no harm” principles by helping fund independent research fund inspecting said products based on revenue. Crimes are punishable up to death but usually seize owner assets and jail owners for life. Is that enough of incentive not to dump crap into/on our bodies?
FDA should have a list of reportable chemicals that, if present in cosmetics and personal care products, are fully disclosed on the product label. The regs should further (and may already) designate listed toxics as adulterants if not labeled, with severe penalties for selling products with unlabeled adulterants in the channel trade. The FD&C Act used to include criminal penalties for executives who knew or should have known they were selling adulterated products.
Truth in labeling, full disclosure of toxic contents. and the sale of adulterated products are issues of first principle that affect everything sold for human use, human ingestion and resulting in involuntary human exposure.
Even the mRNA vaccine scandal is riven with evidence of adulteration and adulterated vaccines, whether, metals, contaminants or inadvertent zoonotic cross contamination during the manufacturing process, or degradation which occurred during the handling of product prior to inoculation in humans.
Even the massive street drug problem is essentially a problem involving defective labeling, misbranding, negligent custodial practices and adulteration of products sold.
Prohibition is the policy decision to abandon the regulation of an inherently dangerous substance. As shocking as it may seem to some, "illegal drugs" are unregulated drugs that have entered our domestic channels of trade.
When a tourniquet is used to mitigate an emergency, it is not a permanent thing. What happens to the corpus if the tourniquet is never removed? The outcome is usually sepsis and death. Prohibition is a tourniquet. And the idiots have left it on too long. Just look at what has happened to the cities and our schools and our society.
Our national drug (and vaccine) policy problems are far worse and more perniciously corrupting and socially destructive than we appreciate. The entire paradigm of prohibition and rote criminalization is a major fail and perpetuates the very unsophisticated ignorance and institutional indolence that made the mRNA fiasco possible and produced indifference to the serial democide our institutions unleashed upon our own population of loved ones betrayed in the most heinous and cynical way.
Chemicals are chemicals. Toxicology illiteracy seems to be job one in government schools. They know more about finance than they know about basic toxicology. Somebody wants to keep them stupid and doing damage to themselves.
Gotta cut the FDA some slack, they’ve been busy focusing on the REAL danger: Homeopathy!
The FDA might have a sweetheart deal with the cosmetics industry like it does with pharma.
"pay me and I is blind"

ha, the FDA "approves" Generally Recognized As Safe status for all sorts of food additives that are outright banned in Europe.
They, along with the other alphabet agencies, are owned and operated by the companies they are /supposed/ to be regulating.
Is anyone protecting Americans? We need a new FDA and while we're at it, CDC NIAID and few more
What lies ahead? Maybe:

Problem is: F kills amygdala function, like spike and probably other injections (I suspect Hepatitis being just as bad. Just read retracted papers for uptake of eg autism per injection like https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/htm or visit Dr. Thomas there: https://justthinkthepodcast.substack.com/p/dr-paul-thomas-the-real-story-uncensored
).
I more and more tend to mormonic life, and more and more admire them.
Toothpaste? Some soap and or baking soda will suffice.
Any humanistic intervention or cosmetic or medical product has to come from simple people, we have to teach ourselves.
And extend our distrust to caltured regulators working for eugenistic psychopathic cabal burning their karma forever right now.
Also let us train ourselves methods to do analysis of batches of cosmetics, brewery outputs (BG owns Heineken now; guess why) and medical products. We
The Act is also where the Emergency Use Authorization regulations reside. Totally independent of The PREP Act.
Very interesting, given that Kaiser makes so much money from Pfizer jab trials.
Is toothpaste still covered under "Cosmetics".
No thanks...I don't want the FDA regulating anything. They are worthless and anti-humanity.
Buyer beware.
Do we really want the FDA involved? In anything? Ever?
Noh. Hard pass. F those guys.

Cant rely on federal government for everything.

Crazy! The skin the largest organ of the body. All modern assault is ruining this external barrier and the related inner gut.
