The Beauty Brains 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 have no cosmetics to sell so you can be sure that the information provided is the most unbiased beauty advice available. Left Brain The most hardcore skeptical scientist of all the Beauty Brains, the Left Brain peruses the world of science to bring you the latest developments and how they might apply to the cosmetic world. Right Brain Still scientific, but a bit less militant, the Right Brain has a good eye for the humorous, and human interest, side of science. The Right is particularly skilled in interpreting advertising claims. Sarah Bellum The more sensitive Beauty Brain, Sarah focuses on the aesthetics of the cos- metic world and is more likely to find stories on the pages of People than Pubmed. The Other Lobes The other Brains work behind the scenes researching questions, reviewing the latest beauty technology, and keeping up with the day to day business of running this website. As we continue to grow, you’ll be hearing from some of the other “lobes.” All of us use “brainy” nicknames because being anony- mous lets us blog about all kinds of products from many different companies without any bias. viii What’s the Purpose of The Beauty Brains? There are literally THOUSANDS of cosmetic products constantly bombard- ing you with confusing and sometimes, false information. The Beauty Brains was started in 2006 to help women understand the real science behind the beauty products they use everyday. We have taken questions from people around the world about all beauty topics including hair care, skin care, make up and even cosmetic surgery. We’re here to help you cut through the confusing, misleading and sometimes false information that the beauty companies bombard you with. Our goal is to explain cosmetic science to you in a way that’s entertaining and easy to understand. We believe the more information you have, the better you’ll be able to find products that you like at a price you can afford. So, you can listen to the advertising. Or advice from a friend. Or what your stylist tells you. But if you want to really understand cosmetic products in an unbiased, scientific way. In this book we’ve collected more than 100 of our best questions and answers to make learning about cosmetic science easy and entertaining. By giving you honest, unbiased information, The Beauty Brains can help you become a smarter shopper so you’ll be able to get the products you like at prices you can afford.

Cosmetics, science and pseudo-science The discourse of current beauty advertising can be characterised by the construction of ‘consumer femininity’ or ‘commodified femininity’ (Talbot 2010; Benwell and Stokoe 2006) in which femininity is a bodily characteristic which requires products for its upkeep and continual improved appearance (Gill 2007: 91). In much contemporary advertising, consumers are bombarded with various ‘scientific’ claims, lexis and imagery on product marketing materials for beauty products. Perhaps in an attempt to differentiate their product in an ever-growing market, brands are turning to science to help authenticate various cosmetics. Contemporary Western advertising copy is often saturated with references to DNA, cell coding, systems and formulas, in addition to scientific- sounding ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, bioactive glycoproteins, and biotechnological peptides.

Het RIVM beheert een systeem waarin deze klachten en andere overgevoeligheidsreacties na gebruik van cosmetica kunnen worden geregistreerd (CESES, Consumer Exposure Skin Effects and Surveillance). Net als in voorgaande jaren zijn dergelijke klachten in 2012-2013 vooral gemeld na het gebruik van haarproducten, huidverzorgingsproducten en make-up. De klachten doen zich vooral voor bij producten die bedoeld zijn voor gebruik op of rond de ogen.

  • Smart Score Book the Smart Score Book the Smart Score 3000
    SMART SCORE BOOK THE SMART SCORE BOOK THE SMART SCORE 3000 SMART MISSION “IT’S TIME TO BRING SMART PRODUCTS TO THE ENTIRE GLOBE. CHANGING THE WORLD IS A BIG GOAL, BUT IT’S ONE THAT WE ARE UP FOR!” OUR HISTORY IS ROOTED IN CLEAN Over 30 years ago, we started with a single product: Shampoo. In the process of creating our first product, we had to make a “Smart” descision: Either use conventional product ingredients or strive for something safer. We took the road never travelled. We chose safer for our customers, ourselves and the environment. Instead of formulating with SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), we opted for more sound ingredients. And, while we didn’t know it at the time, that “Smart” decision would go on to define our entire company. Each one of our products is safe, affordable, and accessible to you and your home—and best of all, they perform better than those store‐bought chemfests. We are a company that stands for honesty, integrity, and transparency. We don’t believe in compromise, so we’ve taken a stance against potentially harmful ingredients. Each year, our Lifestyle Advisory Board reviews and makes recommendations on our usage of every single ingredient in our warehouse. If it doesn’t pass that test, we don’t use it. We won’t compromise on safety and take pride in our ability to keep you out of harm’s way. SLS was the first ingredient to which we said no, starting a list of ingredients we refuse to use that now numbers in the thousands and continues to grow.
