We have become so obsessed with good looks that sometimes it seems almost impossible to imagine our life without all those cosmetic products we use daily. Each new piece makes us delighted whether it is a lipstick or a bottle of perfume. But when purchasing and applying these products we rarely think of their safety for us. And some of them, or maybe all of them, are unsafe…

According to a new report, most of our favourite cosmetics are cocktails of industrially produced chemicals, which means they are potentially dangerous and can damage our health.

Research by Bionsen, a natural deodorant company, has reavealed that an average woman applies approximately 515 different synthetic chemicals on her body every single day with makeup and other grooming products.

The chemicals are included in every cosmetic product as well as household cleaners. This explains why so many people have allergies, develop skin sensitivity and even suffer from serious hormonal disturbances, fertility problems and, what is the most horifying, cancer.

Let’s talk about at least one set of common components of shampoos, hair gels, shaving gels and body lotions – parabens. They are designed to preserve the shelf-life of your cosmetics, and are one of the most widely used preservatives in the world. But nowadays the safety of these are being under question. A range of different studies has linked them to serious health problems including breast cancer, as well as fertility issues in men.

Methylparabens, for example, were considered safe for a long time but recently it was found that they can mutate and become toxic when exposed to sunlight, causing premature skin ageing and an increased risk of skin cancer.

The British fashion house Burberry has announced the decision to produce a range of cosmetics. The collection will be made under the collaboration with Inter Parfums SA and include about a hundred of products for skin, lips and eyes.

Phillippe Benacin, chairman and managing director of Inter Parfums SA, commented:

It gives another dimension to the brand.”

The new range will be launched in July 2010 and available from about 30 stores around the world.

Burberry already has a line of fragrances that sells well. This means the range of cosmetics might be as successful.

Burberry house is popular with A-list celebrities. The list of those includes big names: Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Emma Watson.

Freida Pinto has been the latest to become the fan. She started wearing Burberry designs after being influenced by boyfriend Dev Petal.

The actress said:

I’m wearing a Burberry dress with a Burberry clutch but the shoes are Rupert Sanderson. It’s Dev’s favourite brand and he’s made me into a devotee, too. I love them, love their colours. It’s really classy but at the same time it has a no fuss thing about it.”
