Sign Safe Cosmetics Letter: Women of Faith to Congress
As women of faith, we are committed to ensuring that children and women of childbearing age are protected from toxic chemicals, especially in our personal care products.
Stand up for vulnerable communities -- let Congress know you are concerned about the safety of cosmetics and personal care products!
The National Council of Churches, in partnership with Earth Ministry and other ecumenical organizations, has written a letter from women of faith to Congress: see link for full-text of the Safe Cosmetics letter and then sign on to express your support.
Here are a few excerpts:
"Women, along with children, low-income
communities, communities of color, and God's Creation are uniquely
vulnerable to the unregulated toxic chemicals found in personal care
products."
"Despite our individual efforts to care for our bodies as God intended, we cannot feel confident that the everyday personal care products we purchase are safe."
"Some of the ingredients in cosmetics are also harmful to the very workers who are manufacturing or using these products. Knowing that the products we use can contribute to the suffering of others is a challenge to our conscience as people of faith."
