I'd be more concerned about parabens and pthalates if I were you. Parabens are not allowed in cosmetics in Europe for a reason - some research has shown that they are found in tumor cells.
I don't put anything on my skin that is a petroleum product; oils made from nuts %26amp; vegetables (olives, almonds) are better.
I use products from L'Occitane because they are made in France and can't use these possible cance causing ingredients.
Some quotes:
';In January 2003 the European Union banned the use
of these chemicals. By September 2004, all cosmetics and personal care products sold in the member states of the European Union will have to be free of substances considered CMR I and CMR II (carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins). ';
';Among the banned petroleum byproducts are parabens, used for preserving products. Recent research has linked parabens to breast cancer, and a number of natural personal care companies have already phased them out of most or all of their formulations.';What is the big deal about sulfates in beauty products?
Lathering up your hair may feel satisfying, but all that sodium-laurel sulfate and detergent is actually incredibly drying and irritating. Which is why celeb stylist Chaz Dean has declared his Hollywood salon a lather-free zone. The salon’s Wen products contain none of the damaging chemicals found in other shampoos, and they purport to re-train hair into a state of optimal health and good behavior. (Ask Halle Berry, Jennie Garth, or Meg Ryan. They’ll tell you it’s true.)
It is a detergent that is too strong for human skin. It can make some peoples hair fall out.
