How many jobs would be lost if the new regulations destroy the cosmetics industry?

Welcome to Free Republic!

Please note, these need to be posted in the Bloggers/Personal area in the future.

It seems to me that I had read some where that they were using embryonic cells in some youth creams is that true?

I was frozen into a pillar of salt as I walked by a local MAC store and locked eyes with a women in the demo chair.

Thanks for the thread JSM. Just an FYI, promoting a blog on FR is frowned upon here.

"But there are radical groups out there that want us all to believe that wearing cosmetics will kill us."

And all of those radical groups have BO and look like hell warmed over.

There is some excellent information to be found on scare tactic legislation at “Support Small Businesses That Make Cosmetics”

http://www.opposesca.com/what-sca-really-means-for-cosmetics-companies-part-i/

Not to mention that dihydrogen monoxide that lethally creeps its way into the homes of the unsuspecting. But I disgress simple logic tells us that chemicals, all chemicals, even with innocent sounding names such as SALT are dangerous. And need to be heavily regulated or banned. How do I know this simple.

Chemicals include the class Petro Chemicals.

Petroleum as in well Petroleum, like oil and crude and gasoline.

Petroleum can be extracted from different sources but we know that originally it came from the rotting carcasses of dinosaurs.

the T Rex was a dinosaur. The T Rex in the movie Jurassic Park ate people.

This proves that dinosaurs are deadly.

Dinosaurs are in petro chemicals. Petro Chemicals are Chemicals. Therefore Chemicals are deadly.

Sure you might end up with a brontosaurus chemical but why take any chances?

I belong to a soap and cosmetic making forum where this is often discussed. Many times it is very patiently explained to people that nasty, nasty chemical preservatives keep products from being contaminated by natural fungus and bacteria.

If you want campaign against siloxanes you are going to be effecting a lot more that cosmetics. Siloxanes help make a lot of industrial productions like paper mills more efficient and make the difference in the cost of operation that would keep them active or shut them down.

The battle is not about "looks" but some thing more than skin deep.

If you ban things like siloxanes you will may not be able to buy soft toilet tissue, strong absorbent paper towels, disposable baby diapers, plastic milk bottles, dry wall for house construction and that's just the beginning of list of products that will disappear, which we in the past we have always taken for granted.

They are not after our "looks" they are after our "hearts".

Would that be Soap Dish Forum? I’m a member there. I’ve learned so much as I’ve been formulating my own (personal use) products. We had a cosmetic chemist graciously giving so much information and answering questions. Miss you, Lab Rat!

The amount of disinformation out there is staggering. Makes me crazy. My own fire Go Bag is already packed with a full cosmetics kit. My house may be in ashes, but damn it I’ll still look good!

I think it must be one and the same. I see you mention Lab Rat so yep that is the one. I have Lab Rat’s posts bookmarked. They are an excellent source of information.

Hee, hee another conservative soaper.

She debunks junk science and posts something scathing about the EPA. I’ll go out on a limb here and see she is not a Liberal. Sides her blog shows a very attractive well put together lady. Nuff said.

"Nasty" chemical preservatives prevent a lot of liquid and simi-liquid products from becoming really nasty slop.

I think we can safely assume that EPA officials are indeed chemical free then.

Up to a point, she did a great job of posting the whole article instead of a couple of sentences - now that's frowned upon ;)
