Cosmetics = Danger ???
Thursday, the 3rd March 2005, I saw in a french television program ("Envoyé Spécial") a documentary about cosmetics. This last one was about dangerous products in cosmetics. In fact, it shows that cosmetics companies use some elements which can provocated cancers in theirs products. These elements are called "parabens".
However to be dangerous, these products must be often used in big quantities by consumers.
Face to these kind of problems, some small companies decided to create a new type of cosmetics. These companies launch more natural cosmetics without chimicals.
To my mind, natural cosmetics are more healthy. However, to be effective, creams such as creams against wrinkles must have some chimicals. Now the question is: "Is it better to be healthy with wrinkles or to be sick without wrinkles?"
