Be prepared to read this post!
CARMINE is made out of dried female cochineal beetles by boiling them. It takes approximately 70,000 ground beetles to make one pound of carmine or cochineal extract. CARMINE is used in foods in items that need a red dye. Some of the items are bottled red cherries, strawberry ice cream, imitation crab and lobster, yogurt, strawberry milk, liquors, etc. It is also used heavily in cosmetics. You can find CARMINE in makeup foundations, eye shadows, lipstick, eye liner, blush and nail polishes. It is also found in baby products .* It is found in most things with dyes and colorings.
The world is getting more & more crazy! I guess from today onwards,i'll check all the ingredients before buying coloring foods and products!!!

As you all know all cosmetic and skin/body/hair care pdts contain hazard ingredients.Nearly all these chemicals can penetrate the skin, and some we ingest directly from our lips or hands. More than one-third of all personal care products contain at least one ingredient linked to cancer. When risky and unstudied chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes can be high .
So today i wanna share with you guys about sunscreen.
The American Cancer Society recommends that people use a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 15. Higher SPFs will give you more protection, but consumers should recognize that once you reach SPF 30, there isn't a huge difference between products with higher SPF values. A SPF 50 product, for example, only blocks about 1.3% more UVB radiation than a SPF 30 product. More important than seeking out ultra-high SPF products is that you apply your sunscreen generously — most people put on only a quarter to two-thirds enough sunscreen to actually reach the product's SPF rating.
