Personal Care Products

I chose to assess two of my personal care products, which I use every day.
The first product was

Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Non-Greasy Lotion, Aloe Fresh

Another product was 

Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

  • Were you surprised to find out the toxicity rating of your personal care products? I was quite surprised when I found out that both of my daily care products are moderately hazardous! I have never thought about immunotoxicity of any of my daycare products! 
  • Did you decide to change any of your consumer behaviors based on your findings? Both of my products are moderately hazardous and the highest risks are in allergies and immunotoxicity in both of them. I think I will use them to the end, but quite likely won't buy them again. I do not have allergies; however, immunotoxicity scares me. I should consider healthier market options. Luckily market allows doing that easily.  
  • Should everyone know about this risks and why don’t they? I believe everyone should know about the risks because we have our rights to know and, thus, make personal decisions about every product we use. A few of us think about potential hazardous toxic side effects of daycare products mostly because we have a lot of concerns and problems on a daily basis and tend to disregard "smaller" risks.
