Why American Readers should read the previous post!
I realize that the previous post is very long and may appear to apply only to Europe, but it is also important to Americans for several reasons:
- American companies who have signed up for the safe cosmetics compact have agreed to follow the European regulations.
- Tony suggests that oakmoss could be considered to not be a "natural" product per the standards that are under development in the US.
- The proposals for the FDA to increase its regulation of cosmetics will probably, if adopted, bring increasing scrutiny to the use of these products in the US.
So read at least the Executive Summary, and if you can go further down and read the details.
