1. Faber, S. (2019, April,3). The toxic twenty chemical and contaminants in cosmetics. EWG. https://www.ewg.org/californiacosmetics/toxic20

This source is very applicable.This article is found useful as I undergo my research. This article provides the list of toxic chemicals. The information also provides the negative health risks that could be potentially expected with the use of these products. It informs regulations, laws, and who is ensuring they will not sale, when it comes to these products and their underlining ingredients. This article also goes into more understanding with the use of graphs and models being displayed. I find great use from this resource. I will be able to use the list, graphs, and overall information to strengthen my argument within the research paper.

2. Chemicals of concern. Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. http://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-            facts/chem-of-concern/

I find this article very useful. It does not just go over the side effects for most but for each individual ingredient. The “red list” is extremely useful regarding my research to know if some chemicals cannot be prevented, what ones absolutely should be avoided. This source helps identify the population that is vulnerable which was not found in other sources. I will use the information in this source for some ingredients, due to almost forty ingredients would be hard to cover within my research paper.

I do really enjoy this article. Some articles expressed concerns for these ingredients, but this source just made the text simple and easy to follow. I think this would be an article everyone should read to get the straightforward fact that these toxic chemicals affect our body. Not only was this article easier to understand, it also provided a lot of good facts that will be used within my paper. These facts as well as the article get the point a crossed for the argument, I am portraying for my research project.

This source is extremely useful. The rate of unhealthy children as for women’s infertile issues increase. This give us more information and insight of the long term affects these chemicals can have. The effects it can cause for a woman can reside for the rest of her life. This could cause her to potentially not have children. The effects it has on these children start from birth for the rest of their lives.

5.Cosmetics. American Cancer Society. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-                              causes/cosmetics.html

I find this document to be use be useful towards my research paper. This goes more into depth regarding the cancer side effects. This does question the if a use of a product will indeed cause cancer but can increase a likely hood. As I thought, the avoidance of these harmful chemicals within these products are advised.

Questions to ask for surveys/ polls: 

-Do you look at the ingredients before buying or using within your everyday person care products?

- If you knew the effects from these ingredients would you continue use?

- Have you or do you know someone who has been effected by these chemicals within products?
