Here is some beauty science news to brighten your day…
J&J is removing “potentially” dangerous chemicals from its US formulations. But is this good science or just caving in to fear mongering?
Still more research points to new sunscreens, this time from herbs!
New spray on skin could accelerate healing. Can a wrinkle spray be far behind?
Camera technology helps dermatologist detect psoriasis and other skin conditions. I smell a new iPhone app!
Can sunbathing kill harmful bacteria? It works for bugs!

Hurry up sunscreen in pill form! And not silly supplements the real deal!
I think J&J are definitely caving!!! I feel safer using products with parabens than without.
For preservatives, I prefer parabens to phenoxyethanol, because I’m allergic to phenoxyethanol. It’s annoying that a lot of products touted as “pure” and “free” have replaced parabens with phenoxyethanol. Thanks for cutting through a lot of the “chemical” paranoia, Beauty Brains! The problem is that now I have to listen to my friends go on about “chemicals” and try to be polite and not smug or exasperated about the fact that they are wrong. Even if I’m nice about it, most people don’t want to hear scientific info that conflicts with their world view.
yeah… I can smell that iPhone App too.. ehh…
