Resources for Information on Chemicals in Products-Testimonials
Quote from Safe Shoppers Bible, (written by Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, M.D.) “Not a single cosmetic company warns consumers of the presence of carcinogens in its products - despite the fact that several common cosmetic ingredients or their contaminants are carcinogenic themselves or are carcinogenic precursors. Consumers have an inalienable right to know what ingredients are in products they use daily, and to be certain that chemicals posing chronic health risks will be phased out when alternatives are available.”
" I have reviewed the Neways products, and confirm their safety and absence of any carcinogenic ingredients or contaminants and deem them one of the safest personal care product lines in the world." Samuel S. Epstein, MD, Professor emeritus, Environmental and Occupational Health, University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Public Health and Chairman, Cancer Prevention Coalition www.preventcancer.com
In 1997, in the Boston Globe, Senator Edward Kennedy reported that the GAC had reported and identified more than 125 known carcinogens in our daily used personal care products.(see cover of Boston Globe)

“Each day American women reach for shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, moisturizer, and dusting powder. We apply blusher, eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick, then maybe dab on nail polish and perfume. We have just exposed ourselves to 200 different chemicals.”
Joel Bleifuss-Author “ To Die For”; In These Times; February 17, 1997 & Take a Powder”, These Times, March 3, 1997
“Cosmetics are among the most unregulated, and therefore most potentially harmful, consumer products on the market. Consumers fail to realize that what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body.”
Peter Phillips Author, Director “Project Censored 1997 & 1998”, The News That Didn’t Make the News
“One of the cosmetic toxins that consumer advocates are most concerned about are nitrosamines, which contaminate a wide variety of cosmetic products. In the 1970’s, the nitrosamine contamination of cooked bacon and other nitrate-treated meats in the food industry became a public health issue. But today nitrosamines contaminate cosmetics at significantly higher levels than were once contained in bacon.Begoin, Paula Blue Eyeshadow Should Still Be Legal, Beginning Press, 1988
