Beautycounter Beautiful products made safe. Did you know? There are over 10,500 ingredients used in the cosmetics industry, but an estimated 90% of those have never been assessed for safety by any publicly accountable body. The United States has not passed a federal law governing the cosmetics industry since 1938. The European Union has banned close to 1,400 ingredients from cosmetics yet the US has banned or restricted only 11. Chemicals that can cause cancer, reproductive harm, and other serious health issues are allowed in the skin care and color cosmetics products that people use every day. Beautycounter is a safer choice to put on your body. They have banned 1,500 ingredients from the collection. No unwanted extras, dyes, and no mysteries. Just high performing beautiful products. Beautycounter’s mission is to get safe products
