The gas buy boycott of May 15, 2007 and your cosmetics
Many cosmetic companies use petroleum based ingredients as fillers and stabilizers for their products. If the price of gas is going up, will cosmetics follow?


/Cosmetics News Articles/ - GOLDEN VALLEY, AZ, May 12, 2007 - When I was a young girl, I remember the 1970's gas shortage. The speed limit being reduced to 55 to conserve fuel usage. The lines of cars at the pump waiting for a gas ration only to be told the holding tanks are empty and to come back tomorrow. The fights it caused between strangers and family members, and the anxiety it caused our Nation.

I bring this up because of all the emails that are going around the web about May 15th being a "no buy" day for gas to send a message to the oil industry about the high price of gas.

How does this relate to makeup you say?

Well, there are a handful of cosmetic companies that DO NOT use petrochemical bases and additives in their products ( petrochemicals in cosmetics are sister to the petro you put in your Ford, Chevy or Toyota).

My point is the $4 dollar mark for gas is coming and your lipstick is about to increase in price as well, just like your body wash, lotion, foundation and hair products.

Before we get into a debate about the GNP, economy, state of the DOW and more, let me just end with this, believe for an answer to manifest for our energy challenge so we can get off our petro addiction, go organic, bike more, wear botancial skin care and cosmetics and finally, support the gas buy boycott on May 15th.
