While all of this sounds pretty scary, there are a number of ways
to keep your lips soft, healthy and rosy, without experimenting
with products that are potentially hazardous. Many
companies offer safe, effective alternatives.
Organizations such as
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,
Grassroots Environmental Education and
Teens for Safe Cosmetics Campaign have
collected a wealth of knowledge on good and bad products,
ingredients and manufacturers. You can also visit the
FDA Cosmetics Information Page, or search
thousands of product safety ratings in the
Environmental Working Group Skin Deep
Database.
Finding a healthier lip balm, gloss or color isn't tricky. On your
next trip to the store, simply take along a list of the ingredients
to avoid and check the product labels before you make a purchase.
It's well worth the effort. Once you've found a safe, clean lip goo
? sip, snack and smooch away ? your lips and your body will thank
you.
