the cosmetic cop

[Guest guest]

I've been reading the paula begoun website, particularly the

ingredients dictionary. I understand she is not against the

indredients in beauty products but rather the false claims and

advertising and unnecessary ingredients. However it doesn't seem as

though she thinks essential oils are a helpful ingredient as she

states in most definitions that they are irritants. This seems to be

the case with many of the herbs as well. She doesn't seem to have a

problem with most ingredients currently used in cosmetics many of

which the crafters of natural products won't go near. Any

thoughts-she claims to be very respected in the industry. Susan

I have been getting her newsletter for a while.

I hardly ever read it, mainly because I do not

agree with her stance on " natural " vs artificial

chemicals. I don't thinks she " gets it " .

 

I to just too much stuff already!

 

Her make-over tips are great. If you are into the

mainstream stuff, she is a good resource.
