Following the lead of food and clothing manufacturers, cosmetic makers have discovered LOHAS – people who follow a Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability. The products break away from the image of health store cosmetics used by earth moms by offering bright colours and an ease of use that have made them into a lifestyle accessory. But consumers should know that they are not tolerated by all skin types and thus are not automatically better than conventional products.
“The truth lies somewhere in between,” said German dermatologist Wolfgang Klee. People with sensitive skin should be cautious. There are in fact no completely reliable legal guidelines for putting a natural cosmetic seal on a product. Among the designations in Germany is one granted by the German federal association of industrial and commercial enterprises marking a product as a “tested natural cosmetic.” More >

Nerfertiti bust will stay in Berlin
Dec 24th
German authorities have disallowed the relocation of an ancient Egyptian bust of Queen Nerfertiti over fears it is too fragile to travel .

The announcement is the latest development in a long-term debate between Egypt and Germany over the rightful home of the 3,500-year-old artefact.
Nefertiti is currently housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, where it is one of the cultural attraction’s most prominent pieces.
The bust’s state of preservation was tested in 2007, when it was first ruled unfit for transportation.
The Prussian Heritage Foundation, parent corporation of the museum, said in a statement that new tests indicate that the artefact is still too fragile to fly to Egypt, even for a temporary exhibition.
The legality of the bust’s removal from Egypt has been questioned by its head of antiquities Zahi Hawass, who claims the artefact was smuggled out of the country in 1913 by German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt.
German officials, meanwhile, maintain that Germany’s original acquisition of the piece was lawful.
