On any given day a consumer may use as many as 25 different cosmetics and personal care products containing more than 200 different chemical compounds. Unfortunately, many of these chemicals have been linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health consequences.

The chemicals in any one consumer product alone are unlikely to cause harm. However, consumers are repeatedly exposed to industrial chemicals from many different sources on a daily basis, including cosmetics and personal care products.

Consumers want to know that the cosmetics and personal care products they're using are safe. You can win their confidence, their loyalty - and their market share - by taking a pledge, the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, to inventory your product ingredients for chemicals linked to serious health consequences like cancer, reproductive harm, neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption and replace those chemicals of concern with safe alternatives. Sign the Compact now.

Approximately 1,000 cosmetics and personal care products companies agree that cosmetics should be made with safe, non-toxic ingredients and have signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. We hope that other businesses, like yours, that place value on providing customers with safe, high quality products will join this growing list of socially and environmentally responsible companies.

Aside from joining a growing movement in this industry toward safer, greener production that puts the health of consumers and the planet first, there are many other benefits to joining the Compact. In our media outreach, through our Web site and through community forums, we highlight companies that sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics in order to promote healthy cosmetics and the companies that produce them.

We look forward to exploring opportunities for collaboration with you on this important women's health and consumer health issue and entering a new era of cleaner, greener, healthier cosmetics and personal care products for all of us!
