FDA: Do YOUR Duty . . .
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!

3/20/09: EHN's FDA Petition 99P-1340 seems to have died an unnatural death,
but I am in the process of tryiing to learn more officially. -- barb

Thank you for all of your support of EHN's FDA Citizens' Petition 99P-1340.

Check the analyses. More harmful chemicals than just phthaltes were found.
See how much is NOT known about all of the chemicals used to concoct
flavors and fragrances you use and or inhale into your system daily.


This site is one of two homes of the
EHN FDA Petition, with analyses, contact information,
sample letters and complementary information.

The other site is that of Betty Bridges, RN and her renowned

05/03 2001 is a wrap for The NEW REACTOR.
The New Reactor is in hiatus. VERY SORRY about this.
If "FRAGRANCE-FREE" events could be just that, maybe my health and the health of
others involved would hold. But, of course, fragrance-FREE calls for the
co-operation and kindness of strangers and education of the harmful effects of
flavors and fragrances by the US Food and Drug Administration. -- barb

    FDA: Fragrance Industry is UNregulated
    NOTE!: "Neither cosmetic products nor cosmetic ingredients are reviewed or approved by FDA before they are sold to the public. FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing of their cosmetic products before marketing. If, however, the safety of a cosmetic product has not been substantiated, the product's label must read 'WARNING: The safety of this product has not been determined.'" WHERE is that FDA-required warning on labels of fragrances?

    FDA: Understanding the Puffery
    "Industry Self-Regulation
    " 'The cosmetic industry is sensitive to the image of an uncontrolled market where anything goes,' says Bailey. 'They counter this image with well-established self-regulation programs. Part of the incentive for such industry policy is to avoid increased regulatory authority.' " http://www.fda.gov/fdac/reprints/puffery.html

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. . . .

If you wish to read more, please visit About . . .
