Gorgeous, aren't they?! I recently read on Young House Love all about anti-bacterial soap and its harm to the environment ~ not to mention that it is really unnecessary if hands are properly washed with regular soap and water. That led me to think about all my lotions and potions that I use daily. Are they bad for the environment... for me?? With the anti-bacterial soap, it may be harmful as we all need certain 'good' bacteria to take care of some of the 'bad' ones. This is true in the environment too. The soap though does not discriminate ~ it kills them all. Hmmmm??!
Stroke of luck on the lotions and potions thought, a newsletter that I subscribe to covered this very issue. Take a look at The Daily Green's story on it. I found it enlightening. Products that claim to be organic may not be. Here's an important symbol to look for if organic is what you are after.

What is basically means ~"USDA Organic certified
Through the National Organic Program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates food ingredients found in cosmetics, and the Certified USDA Organic symbol is one of the most trustworthy labels around, especially on foods. But because the USDA only has jurisdiction over farm-raised ingredients, not all beauty product ingredients are regulated under this program, and there are more than enough ways to get confused."
The Daily Green goes on to give tips on what to look for to lessen the confusion. Its a good read.
Question ~ Do we spend too much energy on cosmetics to make us youthful, pretty, alluring while negating the long term harmful effects they could have??
