well mica is capable of causing such respiratory damage
it is still used by manufacturers as it is effective and easy to find

in fact many cosmetic companies and pharmaceutical companies that distribute
ingredients to cosmetic companies are question or accused of engaging in child
labour in order to mine mica
in poorer countries such as India there are many children are forced
into mining mical for little to no money and have no choice due to their
financial status
when initially questioned by the media as to whether or not the company engaged
in the use of child labour to obtain the mica used in their products
L'oreal did not respond
later on L'oreal released a statement declaring that they are trying to avoid
the use of child labour to obtain the mica used in their products

greenhouse gases such as methane are often emitted during the mining process
causing pollution in the air

operations do reuse the water some do not using up many of the clean water

as it has many benefits in addition to the claims it has on its packaging
however for those that are looking to spend their money in support of a
company that has excellent ethics in regard for the environment and society
this product is not recommended as it is possibly still associated with child
labor and
obtaining many of the main ingredients use causes environmental harm
