Is it Safe?

Safe: secure from liability to harm, injury, danger, or risk

As your walking down the isle to pick out what shampoo or body wash that suits the you best, you pick the one that smells good, looks pretty, and catches your eye. But for most new mothers, they pick out what is most safe for their babies. Instead of searching for the shampoo that smells the best, she is searching for the one that has a label on it saying, "Safe for your child." For example, Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo, states that is is safe your baby's skin, but the background behind the labels it is not safe at all.

Those shampoo bottles that advertise that it is safe for your skin is only contradicting what they are doing. The products use the word safe to make the consumers believe that its good for you. But behind the label, the product is not safe at all. Before selling it out to you, it is tested on animals. The bottle says it is safe, when animals are developing skin irritations. It says it is safe, when animals are expose to toxic chemicals. It says it is safe, when animals are getting sick. It says it is safe, when animals are dying. Does that sound safe to you?

Neutrogena:
On Neutrogena's website they are promoting safe body products. I have found that they stated, "As the Neutrogena® brand gained a unique acceptance by the medical profession, a new emphasis was directed toward marketing and research efforts to create a line of safe, mild, premium quality skincare products." There is the word, safe, again. The company is pro animal testing. Behind their research and medical labs, the products they are selling are not safe until after the fact that they destroyed animal's lives. Even adult products are advertised as safe, but behind the labels it is not safe.
