Chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects do not belong in products we use on our bodies. However, many popular brands of shampoo, deodorant, cosmetics, skin and body care contain these dangerous chemicals. In September 2004 the European Union enacted a new law which requires cosmetics companies to remove reproductive toxins, mutagens, and carcinogens from personal care products. American cosmetic companies aren’t regulated for product ingredients; most are slow to remove these carcinogens from our products. Don’t you agree that cosmetics companies need to make these safer products available for all of us? Sign the petition here to make the cosmetics you sell safe!
