Fiscal constraints aside, skin care offers mass choices with straightforward, practical appeal, as well as high end luxury, anti-aging, and pure organics, with a toxicity-free skin safety proposition. There's even a new line, founded by a teenage devotee advocating for a clean, toxin-free approach to skin care, and featuring products which have scored zero on the Cosmetics Database toxicity scale, a system maintained by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) which features testing results from such agencies as the FDA, EPA, and the EU Chemical Bureau.

Вы не можете создать косметическое средство для ухода за кожей, которые были бы совершенно безопасно для людей. В этом случае было бы бесполезно. Вы всегда должны считаться с тем фактом, что могут быть аллергические реакции на активное вещество. В некоторых случаях, как на химический пилинг, повреждение кожи может быть даже полезно. Конечно, это означает, что уход за кожей должны быть нетоксичными, но это вопрос, который относится к дозам АДМИНИСТРАЦИЯ активных веществ, чем их присутствие.

You cannot create a skin care product that would be absolutely safe. In this case it does not make any sense. You always have to take into consideration the potential risk of allergic reactions to active ingredients. In some cases, like chemical peeling, the skin damage could even be a positive effect. Off course, the skin care product should remain non toxic, but this is more a question of active ingredients dosage control rather than their presence.
