There is SO MUCH misleading and incorrect information on the web. This is for people who want to understand ingredients in their skin care products. With so many conflicting reports online, it is understandable that consumers may not know who to turn to for accurate information regarding the ingredients in their skin care products. Included below are three respected organizations that provide accurate ingredient insight and information. Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) The Personal Care Products Council, formerly the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, is the leading industry trade association for the cosmetic and personal care products industry and represents the most innovative names in beauty today. For more than 600 member companies, PCPC is the voice on scientific, legal, regulatory, legislative and international issues for the personal care product industry. PCPC is a leading and trusted source of information for and about the industry and a vocal advocate for consumer safety and continued access to new, innovative products. Visit the PCPC website. personalcarecouncil.org/ Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) The Cosmetic Ingredient Review was established in 1976 by the industry trade association (then the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, now the Personal Care Products Council), with the support of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Consumer Federation of America. Although funded by the Council, CIR and the review process are independent from the Council and the cosmetics industry. CIR reviews and assesses many ingredients used in cosmetics in an open, unbiased, and expert manner and publishes the results in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Visit the CIR website. cir-safety.org/ Skin Cancer Foundation Since its founding in 1979, the Skin Cancer Foundation has set the standard for educating the public and the medical profession about skin cancer, its prevention by means of sun protection, the need for early detection, and prompt, effective treatment. It is the only international organization devoted solely to combating the world’s most common cancer, now occurring at epidemic levels. The Skin Cancer Foundation is comprised of distinguished physicians and lay people dedicated to reducing the incidence of skin cancer. Visit the Skin Care Foundation website. skincancer.org/
