RE: Mother Discovers That "Claire's" Makeup Contains Asbestos

in #health7 years ago (edited)

The EPA has deliberately concealed the toxicity of many products so that manufacturers could profit from their sale in the USA. This is one of the reasons that male fertility has dropped by 60% in the USA since the 1970's.

Asbestos in makeup shouldn't prove problematic for the child, as long as she didn't inhale any particles. It is remarkably inert, unless reduced to a powder, such as by cutting or processing it, and AFAIK the only vector for toxic action is via being breathed, not applied to the skin. Unfortunately, in makeup it is certainly powdered, and being applied so close to the mouth might make it likely to have been inhaled.

This is why we need to give up relying on government monopolies to test our products, and instead turn to private, for profit companies, whose reliability and customer service isn't corruptible by those manufacturing the products.

When the FDA, EPA, or some government agency is responsible for testing, the manufacturers know exactly who to corrupt, and consumers have no alternatives.

Thanks!
