  So, have you heard about how urlLink just about every cosmetic, personal hygiene and skin-care product you've ever used is probably giving you cancer as we speak ?
Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. The Environmental Working Group, who's behind the urlLink report , says the public should be "concerned, not alarmed" about the findings.
I don't know about you, but hearing that my Olay moisturizer, St. Ives body wash, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, Dial hand soap, ChapStick lip balm, Secret deodorant, Infusium 23 leave-in treatment, Vaseline lotion and Crest toothpaste contain harmful impurities, unstudied ingredients and possibly even urlLink carcinogens (coal tar? what? ) has me concerned AND alarmed. But being the skeptical girl I am, I wonder if this is really as bad as it sounds. I mean, these companies wouldn't poison their loyal customers; it's not good for the profit margin. Unless they are in cahoots with oncologists, or funeral homes. But that would be ridiculous. I think.
So I'm sure we'll soon be hearing from experts telling us not to worry about all that alpha hydroxy acid, lead acetate and formaldehyde in our personal-care products. In the meantime, however, I'll be hanging out with a urlLink bar of Ivory soap. It's 99 44/100 percent pure, just like I used to be, before the heroin.
