There is a number/letter combo in quotations at the end of each ingredient list which is most likely their own preservation method and it is hard to say what this could be. I would have to do more research on the Care products before I would recommend them. I do recommend Burt's Bees, though The Environmental Working Group webiste gives them a mid-range hazard score for ingredients like "fragrance" which can be very toxic but in the case of Burt's Bees is probably not. Unfortunately, many cosmetics companies switch up their ingredients constantly and a product that is safe one day may contain something you don't want to use down the line. It is always best to check the ingredients list before purchasing.

And considering how many reports come out each week telling us what causes cancer, you'd think this would be at the top. This is scary information, but it makes sense when I look at all the unpronounceable things in my makeup. What about Stella McCartney's skincare/cosmetics line or Burt's Bees? Are those safe?

It is important for parents to have knowledge on this subject, so that they can pass this useful information on to their children. I had no idea how harmful chemicals in makeup could be.
