The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a “… national coalition of nonprofit health and environmental groups.”
The organization states on its “About Us” website: “Our collective goal is to protect the health of consumers and workers by requiring the personal care products industry to phase out the use of chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health concerns, and replace them with safer alternatives.”
And, “The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is working with more than 100 endorsing organizations, responsible businesses and thousands of citizen activists to shift the cosmetics market toward safer products and to advocate for smarter laws that protect our health from toxic chemicals and encourage innovation of safer alternatives.”
The article “Pretty Scary: Heavy Metals in Face Paints” also contains information on face paints.
