Taylor S.<\/cite> says:<\/p>\n

Emma, I absolutely agree with your discussion about \u201cthe availability of these \u2018safer\u2019 products.\u201d I too believe they should be accessible to the everyday person who doesn\u2019t have time to shop for special necessities at special stores, for example, one you referenced, \u201cDown to Earth.\u201d However, even if one shops at a specialty store, he\/she isn\u2019t guaranteed an actual \u201csafe\u201d product. \u201cHow do you know?\u201d you ask, well I have a story for you.<\/p>\n

For ages my grandma, pursuing a healthier lifestyle, has been looking to switch from our family\u2019s old conditioner to a healthier, organic one. Her co-worker Jodi recommended using Korres Acacia Milk Conditioner because she, too, pursued a similar idealistic lifestyle that my grandma pursued. My grandma perused through different websites, finally coming across one that mentioned the Korres Acacia Milk Conditioner that Jodi talked about. The website,\u00a0http:\/\/www.skinstore.com\/p-3113-korres-acacia-milk-conditioner.aspx<\/a>, provided a break down of what this \u201corganic\u201d conditioner was all about. One of popularity, the website offered over \u201c5000 skin care products,\u201d was protected by McAfee Secure, and was supported by Accredited Business Company. Credibility was no question for my grandmother. Knowing the site\u2019s credentials, my grandma believed the synopsis of this conditioner. It had a\u201c5\/5 star rating.\u201d It was \u201cnatural.\u201d It was applauded. According to George Korres, founder of the Korres Natural Products Ltd., \u201cthis product meets our natural beauty standards with a high concentration of quality natural botanicals while keeping harsh chemicals to a minimum.\u201d The key word is \u201cnatural.\u201d According to Stacy Malkan of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, she says that the terms \u201cnatural\u201d or \u201corganic\u201d have no legal meaning in the beauty industry. Pharmacist George Korres also said his line \u201ccombined nature with science to develop products that are skin-compatible, environment-friendly, joyful and effective.\u201d Convinced this conditioner the key to a healthier life, she purchased an 8.45 ounce bottle for $19.00. This was expensive. After researching the site, my grandma believed this conditioner was the right match and, even though it was out of the way to purchase and was expensive, she bought it, believing all the conditioner\u2019s details the website praised. For this project, I entered \u201cKorres Acacia Milk Conditioner\u201d in the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. Korres Acacia Milk Conditioner scored a seven out of ten. It contained products linked to developmental\/reproductive toxicity, allergies\/immunotoxicty, organ system toxicity, and biochemical or cellular level changes. This milk conditioner was ranked one of the highest scored products of the entire Korres Natural Products line. Devastated by this, I told my grandma and we used up the whole bottle and refused to purchase another.<\/p>\n

After this experience, I was cognitive of the entire cosmetic situation. Is \u201corganic\u201d or \u201cnatural\u201d or any type of product safe, even if you go out of your way to purchase it? If the rarer items, ones not sold at longs or even at Down to Earth, ones more expensive than others, ones created by exclusive companies, are still somewhat toxic, then is there such thing as a \u201csafe\u201d product? Are people tricked by the beauty industry into believing that using products is better for you, when realistically, using no products is actually the healthiest solution? Is the ideal use for products arbitrary due to the fact that it may be safer not to use products at all, rather than using products that are \u201csafe\u201d? These are the questions I have, and these are the questions that will hopefully one day be answered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
