America's Healthiest

America’s Healthiest Buys 2008: Beauty

By Rozalynn S. Frazier and Colleen Sullivan
From Health magazine

Ten years ago, we noticed more and more products promising health and beauty, so we put together a panel of dermatologists to select the best. A decade later, the bar is still being raised, as you can tell by our 2008 beauty winners. You don’t have to go far to find these favorites; most are at drugstores and department stores nationwide.

Meet the Beauty judges …

Lisa M. Donofrio, MD, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine, was glad to see diversity in the products on the shelves. “Companies are really starting to take into consideration a wider range of ethnicities and age groups,” Donofrio says.

Grace H. Pak, MD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with a private practice in New York City, was excited by the increasing number of green products. Beauty companies “are all using botanical ingredients and more recycled material for packaging,” Pak says.

Sandra S. Tsao, MD, an associate program director for procedural dermatology at Harvard Medical School, was impressed with the reduction of potential allergens in products. “This makes more products accessible to even the most sensitive individuals,” Tsao says.

    The girl in the picture is holding Physician’s Formula Organics, but your article mentions nothing about organic products. In fact, all of the products you review have a laundry list of toxic chemicals in them.

    I agree with Steve…. The product that are list are filled with tons of parabens, fillers, and synthetic ingredients that are toxic and just sit on the surface of the skin, keeping the skin from beathing… If you are looking for a amazing all natural face cream that is paraben free, try The Solution…. Its amazing what a product can do to your skin when a company actually puts only ingredients that help the skin… You can only get it online…. The address is http://www.envisionbeauty.net
