Shine some light on the business of beauty! Require that products -- like fragarnces and other cosmetics -- which are released to market without being substantiated for safety carry your consumer alert: 'WARNING: The safety of this product has not been determined.' (http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-206.html) 9/29/03: The FDA has officially begun "Preliminary scientific reviews of the petition." Remember, fragrances are derived from petrochemicals and enter the bodies of users and nonusers through absorption and inhalation. Provide a public record. Inform the FDA! Please write, fax or e-mail the FDA in support of EHN's FDA Citizens' Petition, 99P-1340. Check the analyses. More than just phthaltes were found. See how much is NOT known about all of the chemicals used. Enter Docket Number 99P-1340 on your subject line. E-mail FDA Dockets at fdadockets@oc.fda.gov EHN's site is one of two homes of the FDA Petition, with analyses, contact information, sample letters and complementary information. http://www.ehnca.org/FDApetition/bkgrinfo.htm The other site is that of Betty Bridges, RN and her renowned Fragranced Products Information Network http://www.fpinva.org/petition99P1340.htm

Dear Visitors: EHN's site is deliberately kept "fancy-free" so our EI/MCS community members can more easily use it ... and I can more easily handle the workload. For those of you who feel you must see credentials before believing what you see on a website: I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and formerly gainfully employed. I earned an AA, while working and raising three kids. I understand that an AA in this day and age means little, but it means a lot to me. My favorite studies included Political Science and Anthropology. When I was forced into early retirement, I vowed to make as much good information available to the public as was humanly possible for me. . . .
