Canadian product safety inspectors recently found 47 personal-care
products at ONE retailer that broke Health Canada's labeling rules. A
one-year-old requirement for cosmetic companies to list all ingredients
on the packaging of beauty products including makeup, creams, soaps,
shampoos and deodorants—a $5.3 billion industry—is designed to "help
consumers make more informed choices and reduce health risks." But spot
inspections keep turning up products—from the lesser known to the
extremely popular—that are not complying with the new label
requirements. Consumers should be aware of the possible non-compliance
of their favorite beauty products, and should be wary of labels touting
implausible benefits. In one researcher's opinion, these "wild
marketing claims" ARE too good to be true.
