Who should be responsible for toxic body care products leaching into the environment? More and more research points to destruction of our environment from body care products. Who should be financially responsible for cleaning it up? Companies who make them, consumers who use them, or all of us through taxation for government clean-up? Published July 11, 2007: Chemicals found in household products like antibacterial soap and plastic bottles are found in sewage water that is discharged into San Francisco Bay, posing a threat to wildlife and humans, according to new data....The inspectors found three types of chemicals -- phthalates, bisphenol A and triclosan. All are suspected of interfering with hormone systems of humans and wildlife..."We're involved because we know that these compounds are out there, and we cannot treat them in the wastewater stream," said Charles Hardy, EBMUD spokesman.

Good hair care and body wash for active athletes?

Where do I go to find someone to determine the composition of a body care product? There must be professional chemists out there who could help with this. US please, Bay area of California the best but i imagine it could be sent through the mail. We know the basic ingredients just not the proportions. Our plan is to change the product somewhat and market it to different demographics. Also we need to know if there are any legal issues we could face. We know this is done everyday so we are not too worried about this issue.

How do I take care of my body lice? I went to France on a holiday travel trip and last week and caught some lices. Now they are stuck to me and we are quite attached . I want to take care of them and treat them right but I think they are French bugs and can only understand French medicines. I live in the States and I don't speak French and the medicines that I get here can only be in English language so I'm worried that the French body lice won't understand the English language instructions on the medicinal creams and lotions. These Frensh bugs are attached to my hairs in my frontal and behindal areas and they are really crawling every which way and getting annoyingly annoying and bothering me. Do you think that my French bugs can react and understand the functions of my English creams?
Why does the govt care if we put drugs in our body? Why do they care if we put cannabis or other "hippie" drugs in our body. They obviously dont care THAT muchw hen alcohol and tobacco is legal. Sooo, some you are saying that the govt's job is to protect us but alcohol and tobacco are legal and our well-being is in their focus...or is money on their focus? Alcohol is a depressant and both alcohol and tobacco ARE hard drugs, so how really is my well-being the first priority of the govt. Some of you ppl are brain washed.

Can anyone recommend a skin care product for body acne? I am 31 weeks pregnant with my first child and have very bad acne on my shoulders, chest, and back. I know this is due to increased horomones.

I have already tried Neutrogena Acne Body wash and it seems to make it worse.
