OK...give me a second while I get up off of the floor from laughing so hard. I'll get to the hydroquinone point of this thread....but first, let's talk about the two "toxic" websites listed above!
They forgot a "chemical" that is 100% deadly!!! They forgot to list WATER!!! No, seriously!!! Try staying underwater in your pool for 30 minutes without any breathing apparatus. You WILL die! Water is 100% fatal!!!
OK, OK...get my point?
As a professional cosmetic chemist, all I have to say about websites like that is HOGWASH and RUBBISH!! It is true that there are maybe 1 or 2 ingredients on it that I would avoid, such as Triethanolamine (TEA)....BUT THAT IS ALL! Virtually ALL of the rest have been put through EXTENSIVE safety tasting by the cosmetic manufacturers and they have PASSED every test for safety and efficacy. This is especially true for the PARABENS!!! The one and ONLY study that linked parabens to breast cancer turned out to be FLAWED and the person who did the study in England came out and announced in public that the study was flawed and there was NO LINK for parabens and breast cancer. All of this information is flawed and biased....PERIOD! Do not read or believe the internet spread (just like a virus) hype.
One person commented "why do the high end cosmetic users put these ingredients in their products" GOOD QUESTION!!! Why would a high end, very technologically savvy company knowingly use something that is supposed to be deadly toxic??? I would seemingly go against logic. The reason they use it is because they are aware of the safety data, and these materials have been PROVEN to be safe and effective in the load levels prescribed by the manufacturers!!!
Now, on to hydroquinone. It has NOT been banned, however, it may soon be banned in the very near future. The ONLY reason it is being banned is because of a very FEW cases of extreme skin lightening or even darkening from OVER USE. Now by over use I mean this. The cases that are problems are mostly from African countries where dark skinned people have literally BATHED themselves for years in high levels of hydroquinone to try to lighten their skin tone. This has caused the very few problems that have made hydroquinone look bad. For those in the US or Europe that use it in cosmetic formulas where the load level is a specified 4% or less, it is completely harmless yet effective. These people use the low loading level products to simply lighten a sun spot or an age spot, not their entire bodies!
Please, Please, Please, do NOT buy into the "tree hugger" internet "sky is falling" hype with cosmetic ingredients. It is simply urban legend or even misinformation put out by "green" companies trying to sell their alternatives.
If you don't believe me, then go dunk your head in a tub of water for 10 minutes straight...then you'll believe me when I say that WATER is a deadly, toxic, "chemical" and should be banned!
