We are living in a Chemical World

One day, while shifting the cupboards around at the shop, I came across a copy of the report on cosmetics and personal care items done by The Guardian in 2004, titled Chemical World. I found the full text on their website here. Though the online version is without its captivating photos, it is worth reading through it. I learned a lot about conventional cosmetics from these articles. I feel the facts speak for themselves whether we should reconsider what we use on our skin.

The most useful read is Chemistry Lesson, it outlines the synthetic ingredients found in commonly used personal care products, and why you should be concerned.
