Healthy cosmetics can be hard to find. Claims like "natural" and even "organic" aren't well regulated, and every few months, you hear of another report finding that lipstick is contaminated with lead and even baby shampoo contains cancer-causing dioxins.
Now, it seems, you have yet more reason not to trust cosmetics companies or their claims. A new report from California's Department of Toxic Substances Control has found that nearly all the nail polishes the state agency tested that claimed to be free of a so-called "toxic trio" of chemicals linked to cancer, neurological damage, and reproductive harm in fact contained the chemicals, sometimes at higher levels than nail polishes that made no such claims.
