		<description><![CDATA[First, let me explain what the &#8220;Safe Cosmetics Act&#8221; is. It&#8217;s a bill that has been introduced into the house by representatives Schakowsky (D-IL), Markey (D-MA) and Baldwin (D-WI).

		<description><![CDATA[For years I&#8217;ve used a wet-shave method with a typical three-blade razor. I have super-sensitive skin on my face (no really, it gets irritated when I THINK about shaving) , and the three-blade design seemed to provide the least irritation for my skin. Thankfully Alabu shaving soap has made shaving tolerable. Any time I&#8217;ve tried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are fragrance oils that different from essential oils? The simple answer is yes. The confusion happens because many people use these terms interchangeably. Nonetheless, a lot of questions have been raised about our decision to discontinue fragrance oils. This is not a decision that was made without serious consideration. I decided to take a few [...]]]></description>
