This year resolve to update cosmetics to eco-friendly brands - Willamette Live, USA
Concern has now turned to another avenue of potential problems: nanotechnology. Minuscule particles in cosmetics, usually designed by engineers, may pose health risks, according to an independent report commissioned by Congress. A similar British study strongly warned that manufactured nanoparticles -- tens of thousands of which can fit on the tip of a needle -- are unpredictable and sometimes surprisingly toxic. More than 300 consumer products already contain nanoscale components including many cosmetics, with little or no research to document their safety.
