My Little Buddy wants to say that the FDA has been negligent in monitoring and regulating the ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care products. Just like food cosmetics go into your body and should be regulated under the same strict guidelines. The toxins in makeup and other products have proved to be detrimental to the health of its consumers and something needs to be done to protect the public. The public needs to be educated not only about what they are putting in their bodies but also on the disregard that the FDA has had for their safety. If these things are done then maybe changes will occur and the cosmetic industry will be forced to provide safe, nontoxic products.

I am going to help my little Buddy express his stance on this issue by supporting his argument in different ways. First I am going to review the lax guidelines that the FDA must follow in regard to the cosmetic industry. Next I am going to outline the different toxins found in the cosmetics. Then I will give examples of the diseases these toxins have caused and the different people they can affect. Lastly I will say what can be done to help make this situation better.
