Expert Histotechnician Svetlana Wickstrom on Today's Cosmetics

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Unfortunately, you never know there is a problem with a specific product or the ingredients in a product line until they hit the news with class action lawsuits brought against the manufacturer, the seller and anyone in-between. According to histotechnician Svetlana Wickstrom, this is a problem all too common in the cosmetic industry and one which could be avoided if manufacturers were a little more forthcoming about just what it is they use to produce those products.

Leading ‘Dangers’ in Cosmetics of the Day

There was a time in history when ladies didn’t need to be worried about spraying a spritz of fragrance before going out for the evening. Most often those fragrances were natural and not a manmade compound of chemicals meant to mimic the scent of flowers and herbs growing naturally around them. For centuries people wore essential oils pressed in the home and no one ever heard of being ‘allergic’ or ‘sensitive’ to those scents. Why? Svetlana contends that is because they were simply that, natural. So,the leading dangers of today seem to be all tied up in the chemicals used to formulate cosmetics.

Take the Time to Research Labeling Tricks

Another thing this amazingly insightful founder of Birdie and Peppers skincare products advises consumers to do is learn how manufacturers are allowed to fool consumers. Fragrances are just one of the ways in which they get away with misleading labeling but there are many others as well. “There is always a loophole they are able to fall through which gives them the ‘right’ to mislead consumers when promoting their products.” This angers her to no end because of her years behind a microscope seeking to analyze tissue in a pathology lab. “So many times the only common denominator was one chemical or another and many of these chemicals are components in beauty products around the world,” she says.

A Multibillion Dollar Industry to Battle

What you may be running up against much of the time is that the beauty industry in the United States is the largest of anywhere in the world, generating some $84 billion in just the year 2016 alone. With all that money to pay lobbyists in Washington, D.C., it really is up to the consumer to learn what they aren’t telling you. For example, it has only come to light in recent years that one of the most common ingredients in so many beauty products, parabens, are now linked to the onset of breast cancer. There is ample documented evidence to support this claim.

And how about the manufacturing process itself? Many facilities that produce skincare products do not have to adhere to the same, strict guidelines which other manufacturers, such as custom supplement manufacturers, are made to follow.

So many critics want to know how the government could continue to allow their inclusion in skincare products, but this is where those lobbyists come into play. With that much money backing them, and deals worked behind the scenes, you are left on your own to know what is safe and what is not in today’s cosmetic industry. Svetlana concludes that, “If you want to know that the products you are buying are safe for use, it’s up to you as the consumer to learn all you can about how this multibillion dollar industry is allowed to get through those labeling loopholes. At Birdie and Peppers, they make every effort to rely on the most current medical research to ensure our products are safe and that’s the best we can do. While we are here to inform you of so many dangers, it’s what you do with that information that counts.” And, that is really the bottom line.
