From Stylelist:
Avon is being sued by Milka Betances, a 30-year-old Bronx resident who claims she was burned and scarred by Avon's Anew Clinical Professional Stretch Mark Smoother.
The
product, which contains Butea, a plant extract to lighten stretch
marks, as well as ingredients to boost elastin and collagen, won the
prestigious Cosmetic Executive Women's Insider Choice Award and has
numerous positive reviews on various websites.
However, Betances
claimed she was burned by the cream, which she purchased from an Avon
dealer on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
Could this have been a case of diversion?
Companies like L'Oreal
have recently spoken out against products being distributed by
unlicensed people or companies. Buying products from anywhere other
than company-authorized retailers puts the consumer at risk of buying
an outdated, unauthentic, or tainted product.
This does not surprise me. Toxins are everywhere in our skin care products. An analysis of the ingredients in this product scares me to death. Results can be found at http://www.CosmeticDatabase.com Just because a product contains a few natural ingredients, doesn't mean it is safe. Everyone should be aware of the dangers and seek natural alternatives.
Exfoliated skin is healthy skin. It’s important to exfoliate the dead cells from your skin on a regular basis to keep your skin looking good. If you don’t exfoliate your skin it will be less able to benefit from the creams and moisturizers you apply to it.
