Many make-up brands feel the need to put dangerous chemicals into their products and say that it’s not harmful in low quantities. Some make-up brands test on animals to make sure the product is safe to use. Although many make-up brands have hidden (sometimes in plain sight), people are still buying the products. But, there are brands out there that are safe and don’t test on animals.
As of this moment, make-up brands “have no legal obligation to report health problems from their products to the FDA” (Sifferlin). The article also states that in a 12-year period, at least “5,144 health-related complaints submitted due to cosmetic products” (Sifferlin). Many brands that are using chemicals and testing on animals, are the ones that are issued budget cuts so they uses cheap chemicals instead of higher priced natural ingredients.
