During this video it explained how chemicals in many cosmetics are really bad for the human body, and can result in being seriously detrimental to our health. The way I noticed that all these cosmetic companies are getting away with this is because of all the slight loop holes they are finding. They have noticed that there are NO laws against this, the FDA barely inspects their products, not just this but not all the ingredients are required. Along with this they go to say that the level of toxics in these products will not affect the human body, but they ignore the fact that people use numerous chemicals each time. The big kicker was when they decided to make their own committee to monitor their own work.
In what Annie Leonard explains how the main way to solve this problem is by making a list of laws to abide by, WILL fix the problem, although this will fix a problem, it will also result in the problem of price increase. If there were two different products on the shelf, both doing the same thing, except one costs more than the other, people would usually choose the cheaper option, this is the only complication with making the laws. Unfortunately we have all reached a stage where people are reliant on cosmetics.

I feel that more of a push needs to put on the chemists in creating products that do not have any toxics that are bad for your health, if this industry can boom, and then with some marketing strategies along with keeping the price similar to the toxic products, it will eliminate the toxic product. Seeing as these companies always want to stay in the industry, not only will it eliminate their toxic products, but it would encourage them to join the band wagon of creating products that do not affect your health in a bad way.
Personally I do not feel this has much of an effect on my as the cosmetics I use are the bare minimum to maintain a healthy hygiene and nothing more. Because of this I don’t really believe that I am the sort of person to discuss this topic, but from what I understand the best way I could describe it comes down the ingredients and marketing.
