Best Answer

While there is assurance from the largest cosmetic companies that ingredients have passed quality tests and official regulations, and are therefore generally safe to use, there is a growing preference for cosmetics that are without any "synthetic" ingredients, especially those derived from petroleum. Once a niche market, handmade and certified organic products are becoming more mainstream. Ingredients' listings in cosmetics are highly regulated in many countries. The testing of cosmetic products on animals is a subject of some controversy. It is now illegal in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and a ban across the European Union is due to come into effect in 2009.

Is it true the Madrasa High Court proved that Fair and Lovely products contain pig fat oil?

Never just accept something you read on social media or in an email forward. Most often, it is a hoax or written by someone who is ill-informed. The Fair and Lovely website states: "All ingredients in Fair & Lovely are accepted COSMETIC ingredients [that are] internationally listed in the CTFA (Cosmetic Territories and Fragrance Assocition)." If you have a concern, contact the company directly and ask for a list of ingredients. You can also contact whatever government agency in your country who oversees marketing practices for beauty products.
