You may want to take a closer look at the stuff that's in cosmetics, such as in the Boots product line. For instance it contains parabens such as; Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben.
"Parabens easily penetrate the skin and are suspected of interfering with hormone function (endocrine disruption). Parabens can mimic estrogen, the primary female sex hormone. In one study, parabens were detected in human breast cancer tissues, raising questions about a possible association between parabens in cosmetics and cancer. Parabens may also interfere with male reproductive functions. In addition, studies indicate that methylparaben applied on the skin reacts with UVB leading to increased skin aging and DNA damage."
Here's an interesting article explaining further what's in cosmetics and why they may be harmful to your health.

Thanks, I'm actually looking into that because I have eczema.
Since I swapped over to all organic, no-flouride, no-paraben stuff, I haven't had a rash outbreak in 4 years.
This will be very hard for me, balancing ot vanity and safety. lawd | |

I'm sorry but for 42 years of age, this skin cream stuff makes me look younger.

He's Asian. I think it's totally unfair that we should even try and judge any skincare brand on this pic. | |
