Comments on: A Moment of Cosmetic Chemist Pride http://thebeautybrains.com/2008/06/19/a-moment-of-cosmetic-chemist-pride/ Cosmetic chemists answer your beauty product questions! We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

They definitely help improve people's self esteem. The best part is that you can change your look with so many different kinds of make up and styles. Cosmetics are great!

I've always thought that makeup was there to make a person's features beautiful, without complete remodeling/loads of money. It makes me a little sad to see that Beauty Brains is promoting/giving attention to a program that is based around people who have undergone plastic surgery. In that vein, has correctly performed plastic surgery been scientifically proven to be bad for you? (Implants that cause cancer, or putting too much strain on certain bones making them fracture, or inability to form tears since there are no tear ducts, ...anything like that?)

Although I believe there are many other scientific pursuits that have a more appreciable impact on quality of life and that should be given priority, cosmetics are important in the sense that physical beauty is valued by human society. People are heavily responsive to visual stimuli and simply cannot help basing part of their judgment on how you look. This may be shallow and detrimental to a society that should seek out merit, talent and a compatible personality (in dating) above all else, but it is not likely to change unless we all go blind.
