As avid purveyors of information on the toxic ingredients found in most beauty products, this educational video spoke volumes to us when we stumbled across it.
Not enough people are aware of the dangerous ingredients used in skin care products and cosmetics.
We’d like to change that.
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.
Some interesting facts:
– 60% of what we put on our bodies ends up in our bloodstream
– 45% of the personal care products we use are harmful to the reproductive system
– 80% of personal care products have been linked to immune toxicity
– Women come in contact with 120 chemicals when they rise and shine each morning.
– Only 11% of 10,500 ingredients in skincare products have been screened for safety.
