The fashion industry hosts a variety of different products
which are used by people all over the world daily. There are plenty of reasons
to do your own research when it comes to choosing the right product for your
needs. In this article I will specifically be referring to cosmetics utilized
by the industry and how they relate to the health and well being of the
consumer.
Nowadays it simply isn’t enough to read the most recent reviews on the newest
products. If you find yourself simply perusing all of the newest Makeup Review
Blogs you can still possibly end up
disappointed. For instance if you simply decided to check the material safety
data information for your product of interest online, you might notice that one
of the key ingredients in the product is something which has caused you issues
in the past. If you had a type of sensitivity to a particular eyeliner and
noticed that the main basic component of that product matched another which you
were interested in then more likely than not the possibility that the new
eyeliner would cause you similar sensitivities is quite high. In cases like
these it is imperative that you take the time to review the material safety
data associated with which ever product you use, especially products new to
you. This is simply a good habit. In the long run you will begin to notice
trends in the materials utilized in your favorite cosmetics. Not only will this
possibly protect you in the future but incidentally you may also notice
parallels between unrelated products which vary in price greatly. For instance
it is not well known however the main ingredient in one of the industry’s top
primers is also found in the industry’s top chaffing prevention cream. If you
were to compare the material safety data information of the 2 products
side-by-side you would be stunned at the similarities especially since the cost
of the primer is approximately 10 times the cost of the chafe prevention cream
Another reason you should choose to check out your products material safety
data sheet simply because the fact it lists its ingredients means there is some
sort of regulatory body reviewing them. Such regulatory bodies will prevent the
use and abuse of unsafe materials in subpar products. For instance recently I
had attempted to purchase and imitation knock off brand of eyelashes from
China. The price was right however the company was unknown and no material
safety data sheet was present. Upon receiving the eyelashes they looked great
however after a closer inspection it was obvious that the individual lashes
were actually metal and highly unsafe to use. If I had stuck to my guns and
only used products which were regulated by a governing body then I would not
have run into this issue and would have saved money and the long run. In short
it is important to consider of the ingredients in your cosmetics in order to
protect yourself from unhealthy alternatives.
