Actress and Cancer Survivor Fran Drescher Speaks Out in Support of New Bill Seeking Stricter Cosmetics Rules.

Interesting, and very informative interview with Fran Drescher on Democracy Now!.  She speaks out in favor of the new Safe Cosmetics Bill of 2010.

This bill is something consumers need to have.  Everyone deserves the right to know what ingredients and chemicals are in the products they are using, especially when so many of the products on the market today contain ingredients that are know carcinogens, skin irritants, and hormone disrupters.  Is it any wonder why so many Americans are sick?  Think about all of the products you use on a daily basis – lotions, perfumes, shampoos, lipstick…  How many different hazardous chemicals are you exposing yourself to everyday?  Now think about how you feel.  Do you get headaches?  Have hormonal imbalances?  Weight gain?  What you’re using may be contributing, if not the cause for your health issues.  I cannot say this enough, but everyone needs to educate themselves as to the products they use.

Give this Democracy Now! interview a listen.  It’s vital to educate on what ingredients your putting on your skin on a daily basis – they may be harming your body.

If you’ve never visited the Skin Deep Cosmetics Safety Database, do it!  It is a vital resource in my opinion, and one that I always refer to if there is something questionable in a product I am considering purchasing.  Your good health, and the good health of your families is at stake – educate yourself!
