Title: Anyone who uses cosmetics, shampoo or soap needs this book
Product review: Very eye-opening and somewhat disturbing, Ms. Vance sheds much needed light behind the long-held veil of secrecy surrounding the cosmetics industry. The lack of testing and regulations concerning common household shampoo, soap and even toothpaste is shocking and we see once again the absolute necessity and importance of educating OURSELVES as consumers (and parents)about the products we bring in our homes, use on our bodies and put on (and in) our children. My only criticism of this book is that she does not recommend substitute brand products which ARE safe, though does offer some make-at-home recipes (which few of us realistically will follow). When I attempted to access Ms. Vance's website, www.cosmetichealthreport.com, to see if she offered suggestions there, it was not up. Regardless, this is a valuable book and needs to be read.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
