And you thought your shampoo was safe....

Take a look at this article. Seems as though many of the things we use everyday for washing, cleaning, etc may actually be very harmful in the long run. Many of the products presented in this article contain known carcinogens. In some products, many of the ingredients have never even been tested for human safety. This seems absolutely ridiculous to me. The problem is that the cosmetics industry is "self-governing" meaning their products do not undergo testing by the FDA. Considering people use on average 9 personal care products a day, for a total average of 126 different ingredients, this is actually really scary.
