Learned something new today ....

"A.I. cosmetics are formulated in accordance with the European Union Council Directive 76/768 (EU 76/768) has banned the use of 1,132 ingredients that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects. The US currently has no pre-market system for assuring ingredient safety and therefore requires no testing for cancer or other long-term effects of various chemicals commonly used in cosmetic formulations. Because A.I. adheres to the EU 76/768, it’s formulations are free of all ingredients banned as a result of EU 76/768. "

and I thought I knew everything there is to know! I guess, you never do and this explains quiet a few others things as well .....

No wonder Paul is allergic to my hair products!!!

Just wanted to stop in, say HI and wish you the best with the fund raising - wish I was able to do more of the same.

Thanks Sue, I have a couple of events in the making!

Shampoos, conditioners & guess what the face cream my dermatologist told me to use were some of the worse.
