common ingredient of skin cream cancer–causing, Fed Gov says

"meritorious2...@yahoo.com" <meritorious2007@yahoo.com>
The Wall Street Journal published an article this month that described
how the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been trying to ban a
common ingredient in skin care products as a cancer–causing agent.
It's called hydroquinone. It's also used as an insecticide and in
photographic development agents. Stick to organic, all natural skin
care products.
The stuff works by burning away dead skin cells, not rejuvenating them
like all natural products do.
The original Wall Street Journal article can be read on this site:

Read it, I suggest, before you plunk down $100 for some fancy–named
jar of harsh chemicals.

Okay, so hydroquinone, an ingredient used in 1percent topical solution
to bleach and fade skin problems like melasma and acne scarring, is
cancer causing. Well, what has out government found that does NOT
cause cancer?

Urushiol is an all natural ingredient produce by Rhus toxicodendron,
Rhus diversiloba, and Rhus vernix. But if you expect me to recommend
applying the active ingredient from poison ivy, poison oak, and poison
sumac, I think the $100 product would be safer. Or better yet, nothing
at all.
