A
Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients: Complete Information About the
Harmful and Desirable Ingredients in Cosmetics and Cosmeceuticals (Consumer's Dictionary
of Cosmetic Ingredients)
by Ruth Winter
Paperback: 576 pages ISBN: 1400052335
Three Rivers Press; 6th edition (March 22, 2005) |
Take the guesswork out of choosing
safe and effective cosmetics and cosmeceuticals.
This updated and expanded sixth edition gives you all the facts you need to protect
yourself and your family from possible irritants, confusing chemical names, or exaggerated
claims of beauty from gimmick additives. Virtually every chemical found in toiletries,
cosmetics, and cosmeceuticals—from body and face creams to toothpaste, hand lotion,
shaving cream, shampoo, soap, perfume, and makeup—is evaluated in this book,
including those ingredients marketed as being all-natural, for children, and for people of
color. The alphabetical arrangement makes it easy to look up the ingredients in the
products you use. |

Don't
Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me
by Paula Begoun
Paperback: 762 pages ISBN: 1877988308
Publisher: Beginning Press; 6th edition (January, 2003) |
Now in its fourth edition, Don't
Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me strikes fear in cosmetics-counter consultants
everywhere. First off, Begoun has deconstructed ingredient lists. Ever wonder what
methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben are doing in your mascara? And what is
diazolidinyl urea? All four are potential irritants, and the latter is a preservative that
can release formaldehyde, a class A carcinogen. Buyer beware.
The majority of the book--and that's nearly 800 pages--is devoted to reviews of thousands
of cosmetics; from cleansers, foundations, alpha-hydroxy acids, and moisturizers to lip
liners, eye shadows, and concealers, all of which Begoun has personally tested. |
