Legit?

Dear God.

Thank God I don't use any of the skin products! I was really debating whether to try them out. I know people who have used them and they all complained one way or the other. So it makes me iffy and I have acne prone skin. Hmmmm...

Oh yeah... is there "What's in our milk/bread/air/water" because I highly doubt it's completely safe.
At least I'm gonna die pretty!

lol

well, if you look hard enough, everything kills you because to keep ourselves alive, every part of our body is slowly wearing itself out. but i'm not gonna stop living to live "better". that being said, mac can do sooo much better with their foundation and skin care products

the skin/face products seem like they all have atleast 1 thing that is labeled as a skin irritant in low doses, ive never talked to any1 who loves them, so i never even bothered trying any.

werd. I like MAC for their makeup products not their skincare.

Yeah but then you search other products and it doesn't seem so bad really...L'oreal's hair dye is in the 9's, Chanel has a couple of 9's in their skin care, some stuff from Revlon is in the 10s! Most cosmetics are on a 2-8 range, there isn't any really "safe" product out there - even Johnson's Baby lotion scored a 7.

I will still plod on with my make up, if brain damage or skin cancer doesn't get me something else will. Feels like everything we do, use or eat is slowly killing us anyway, might as well be a product that makes us happy.

The only thing that's in my MAC is crack because I can't stop using or buying it!

Yeah.... ingredients in many cosmetics and skincare can be pretty frightening. I'll never use MAC skincare or foundation because of all the junk they use in their formulations. There are much, much better products for skincare and plenty of great companies who create wonderful mineral makeup.

I don't mind using MAC MSF, blush, eyeshadows and lipglasses because I have a layer of beneficial makeup making direct contact with the skin barrier. That prevents me from worrying too much about the crap leaching into my epidermal layer.

Why doesn't it say which of the ingredients are the harmful ones in each product? I know things such as parabens are often targeted as bad ingredients, but they are preservatives and necessary in small amounts so our products don't go bad! I would be more trusting of this if I could tell which were the bad ingredients...unless I just don't see it?

I want to know who sponsors this site. Almost everybody has an agenda these days. I need to read the site more, but the statistics they use (Data gap stats?) makes me a bit skeptical.

I bet a lot of those ingredients are harmful only when ingested at high quantity. So unless you're eating your makeup, I think we're all safe.

The best way to know is to get the MSDS sheet for each of those ingredients.
