The Story of Cosmetics

Don't miss this video The Story of Cosmetics   if you love your skin.

 ('The Story of Cosmetics' released on July 21st, 2010, examines the pervasive use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo. Produced with Free Range Studios and hosted by Annie Leonard, the seven-minute film by The Story of Stuff Project reveals the implications for consumer and worker health and the environment, and outlines ways we can move the industry away from hazardous chemicals and towards safer alternatives.

The film concludes with a call for viewers to support legislation aimed at ensuring the safety of cosmetics and personal care products.")

Although this video refers to the FDA and other US Government agencies, we are subject to many of the same foibles here in Canada.
