"While the chemicals in cosmetics make us look, feel and smell better, research strongly suggests that at certain exposure levels, some of these chemicals may contribute to the development of cancer in people." --BreastCancer.org

"These ingredients [petrochemicals] pose risks of cancer, genetic damage and reproductive toxicity (including infertility) to unsuspecting consumers, and their infants and children." -- University of Illinois School of Public Health Emeritus Professor Samuel Epstein, M.D.
