Shea Butter and Safe Cosmetics

As many of you know, Purely Shea is apart of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics whose goal is to protect the health of consumers and workers by requiring the health and beauty industry to phase out the use of chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems, and replace them with safer alternatives.

You may be asking your self "What can I do to get products that are safe for my family? Well here is a direct quote from the Safe Cosmetics Website on what to do:

"In the short term, you can choose safer products and learn more about the issue of cosmetics safety at www.safecosmetics.org. But we can’t just shop our way out of this problem. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics believes that consumers should not have to memorize long lists of hazardous chemicals in order to protect our families. Chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects do not belong in any beauty products, at any level. We should all be able to walk into any store and buy health and beauty products that are safe for babies and safe for everyone. Cancer is an epidemic in our society: 1 in 2 men in the United States, and 1 in 3 women will get cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Companies must be required to eliminate cancer-causing chemicals from all possible sources immediately – starting with baby shampoo and bubble bath. Take action at: http://www.safecosmetics.org/action/"
