security lapses at entrances to SM City Manila; U.S. FDA comments re hypoallergenic cosmetics; web sites with free information regarding new year reso

Security lapses at entrances to SM City Manila mall on December 18, 2008. When I entered said mall on said date, the security guard at the entrance I used, didn't inspect my trolley luggage, which was large enough to contain deadly weapons. Later, at the San Marcelino St., entrance ro said mall, I saw that the security guard at said entrance, didn't inspect well the bags of the people who were entering.

U. S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Office of Cosmetics and Colors information regarding hypoallergenic cosmetics

"HYPOALLERGENIC COSMETICS

Hypoallergenic cosmetics are products that manufacturers claim produce fewer allergic reactions than other cosmetic products. Consumers with hypersensitive skin, and even those with "normal" skin, may be led to believe that these products will be gentler to their skin than non-hypoallergenic cosmetics.

There are no Federal standards or definitions that govern the use of the term "hypoallergenic." The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean. Manufacturers of cosmetics labeled as hypoallergenic are not required to submit substantiation of their hypoallergenicity claims to FDA.

The term "hypoallergenic" may have considerable market value in promoting cosmetic products to consumers on a retail basis, but dermatologists say it has very little meaning."
