Safe Cosmetics Australia [SCA] The Toxic-Free Campaign, aim is to fill in where industry and government leave off. In Australia there are over 40,000 chemicals permitted for use in product formulations, the vast majority of these chemicals have not been tested prior to use and this raises health and safety concerns. Many of these "approved chemicals" are used in everyday house hold products, yet
they are banned by other countries due to scientific research finding that they are carcinogenic, hormone disrupting and much more. For example, Triclosan is a known carcinogen that is banned in the EU yet permitted for use in baby care products by Australian legislation. Studies overseas have concluded that many of the chemicals Australia permits for use are in fact toxic to human-health. SCA aims to provide educational research and an independent platform for consumers to help Australian's navigate their way through the so called chemical maze.
