What are we putting on our faces!?! Why don't we have an agency like the FDA approving/monitoring the safety of cosmetics?
"FDA does not approve cosmetics, although we do approve color additives
used in cosmetics. It is the responsibility of cosmetic manufacturers
to ensure, before marketing their products, that the products are safe
when used as directed in their label or under customary conditions of
use."

Sooooo.... who is making sure these cosmetic manufacturers are ensuring the safety of their products? Of course they are gonna cut corners where they can and downplay results..

We could be putting on all sorts of carcinogens, chemicals, pesticides, toxins, etc. and not even know it. Why isn't the general public more concerned about this? Why isn't there an agency to prevent this?

Cosmetics sold in China are subject to control by administrative licensing under the “Supervising Rules of Cosmetics Hygiene” regulations published by the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China (MOH) and the “Rules for Acceptance of Application to Cosmetics Administrative License” published by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).
