Hundreds of chemicals (over 1100) were prohibited.Some US cosmetic companies responded by saying "American women are certainly not as concerned about cosmetics because Europeans."
One large cosmetic firm a real disconnect and answered an itemized request in connection with utilization of Pthalates (pronounced tha-lates and simply a pricy word for fragrance and discovered in over 79% of cosmetics), saying "the US has got the safest products which our laws will permit for both the customer as well as the environment".
Playing with Mexico, that same company, in response to similar consumer concerns, acted within a somewhat different manner once the "Women's Committee with the Korean Federation for Environmental Movements" tested 24 products for the toxic ingredient known as Pthalates.
Fifty percent had a lot more than three and 8 % had four different types.
Seeing that same company that replied to the united states inquiry saying what they used was safe, now responded in Columbia by doing this.
They subsequently removed all Pthalates off their products.Claims on any product, not merely cosmetics, that say "dermatologist-tested," "not tested on animals," "natural," and "organic" should not promise of safety.
