I have to say, no matter how dangerous the compounds are, if a woman really likes a product, chemical compounds warnings are as effective as smoking warnings. I still use an expired eye shadow that was discontinued, because I can't find another color like it. Unless I start growing a third eye, I will keep using it until the last drop.

second, last i recall there’s a push by health canada to force manufacturers to not use these compounds

but, i will be looking into this in the next few days and will post any information i’ll find. as well as an overall opinion if these are as safe as they can be, or they can be safer, or if based on the levels there’s not much to worry about (till then…essentially reduce the exposure by not wearing the makeup longer than you ‘need to’)

some products that may contain the two chemicals include lip gloss, eye shadow, foundation.
