Toxins & Peanut Products in Clarins Cosmetics?!

Do you have a peanut allergy? Could your makeup be making you sick?

A new press release issued Oct 31, 2006 discusses the use of peanut and toxins in clarins cosmetics.

A few quotes from the article include:

Clarins Paris claims most of its cosmetic products are made with plant extracts, and some are alcohol free and allergy tested. In reality, their disclosed ingredients discredit the claims on their labels.

Products such as their Extra Comfort Toning Lotion are touted as being “alcohol free with plant extracts, allergy tested and especially formulated for dry and sensitized skin.”
However, their label cites the following alcohols: phenoxyenthanol, panthenol, triethanolamine, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol and anise alcohol


Parabens have the potential for breast cancer and potential endocrine disruptors, raising concern for impaired fertility/development and increased risks for certain cancers


For further exploration- Pierce Mattie Public Relations.

Should Clarins clearly label their products with all ingredients?
Should Clarins stop using such dangerous ingredients all together?
