Major brand removing potential harmful ingredient from products

Johnson and Johnson is going to remove an "ingredient" -Formaldehyde from their product lines. You may not have seen this "ingredient" on the ingredient list as this is technically NOT an ingredient... THAT makes us wonder.... how many "ingredients" are not listed on the ingredient list at the back of the products because they are technically NOT an ingredient but harmful to us??? Although the law states that manufacturer has to put ALL ingredients on the list for consumers' reference, BUT if this is NOT even being considered as ingredient, they can just skip it??? How many potentially harmful "ingredients" are in the products? I guess we will never know until they come out telling us they will again remove certain ingredient from their products again?? 

Are we exposing ourselves to unknown health hazard while we are enjoying our bath, taking shower and washing our hair? Are we also placing our little ones at risk??

IF they didn't take action, we will never find out there are HIDDEN "ingredient"!! Now THAT'S a scary thought!!

Here is the article for your reference: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/16/business/johnson-johnson-to-remove-formaldehyde-from-products.html?_r=1

In the bright side, they are the first company to commit into taking this action as well as removing parabens at the same time from their products. In the not so bright side, maybe they are still hiding something from us as they may call it a "commercial secret" ? We are certain that Johnson and Johnson is NOT the only company that has this practice, I guess more companies will follow their lead in removing toxic chemicals.

Also, when they mentioned that they will look for alternatives for "safe" ingredients, think about how they define "safe" ? By choosing no side effect ingredient? In which that should be NATURAL... their "safe" in commercial way could be- "yes, its alternative chemical ingredient which will just have tiny leads/ unknown chemical amount that will be absorbed by our body, BUT we won't die from it??"  or "Yes, it is entirely safe for our body system as it is natural?" which statement do you think it's more likely to come true? Could that also be them looking for a "real" ingredient that is FDA approved that we won't die from it and it has to be listed on the ingredient list this time?? What's the different? I guess we will just have to wait and see...

As we always say.... going NATURAL/ORGANIC is the ONLY way to go!!

Why did I go organic??

Nvey Eco Advanced Care Lip color

As the owner of The Organics Boutique, I  of course believe that Organic/ Natural products can be as effective as the traditional mass market products, whether they are skin care or just table cleaning product... as you know during the ancient years, people were using lemon juice or vinegar to clean or to bleach or to eliminate odor and it worked wonder...

But why would I believe in Organic and WHY did I sell these products... answer is simple, they are made with natural resource, that we could eat and digest... it has to be save, that is why i chose organic instead of natural. Who knows if the "natural" is truly natural? They could have been GMO'ed. The only way I can ensure the ingredients being used are truly Natural is by choosing Organic, better yet, certified organic. I know people have doubt on the effectiveness, to be frank, before I experiment any organic products, that was exactly what I was thinking, why should I purchase Organic facial cream when the price is higher and I don't even know if it will work, the thing is, you will never know if you never step out and try. 

I only go for certified organic because there is organization monitoring these products which means that they have to have certain % of organic ingredients and it cannot have harsh chemicals in the products, so I thought, if it doesn't work, at least I don't have any unknown harsh chemicals in my blood stream that cannot be let out of the body system... who knows... look at the lipsticks these days, there are loads of report stated that some commercial cosmetic brands' lipsticks contain excessive lead, of course those companies would be saying that tiny amount of lead wouldn't harm human body, but who knows if it can be released out from our body or it will keep on accumulating inside our system. 

Lipsticks cause cancer???!!!
leads could be cumulative...

Those companies wouldn't tell us what chemicals that they used have exceeded the regulation/standard, SO, today we found out that there're excessive leads in lipsticks, there might be other excessive chemicals in foundation or mascara or whatsoever, my concern is, what if these chemicals accumulate over time in our body, how will our body be affected?! Like Western medicine, there will be side effects but it won't show right away!! 

While cosmetic and skincare can be made out of Organic ingredients, then why not try them out?! There are loads of Organic Brands out there and I am sure you can find what you need too !! They don't have to be pricey. (Brand suggestions? Low- mid price range: Lavera, Burt's Bees, Mid-High price range: Mukti, Nvey Eco, Juice Beauty, Pangea Organics...etc)

Think again before you buy, you're buying your health...
