The Price of Beauty

Did you know that the ingredients in your cosmetics might be making you sick?  Cosmetic companies are not regulated, so they can put almost anything into their products for you, the trusting consumer to purchase.  


But did you know that there are a LOT of ingredients which are known to be toxic (which means they have the potential to be cancer causing, neurologically distruptive, hormonally distruptive, etc.) that are being added to the products we use on a daily basis?   And we use a lot of them (think shampoo, conditioner, face wash, facial moisturizer, body moisturizer, foundation, blush and eye products, hair care products, tanning sprays, nail polishes - you get the picture).  


And even though you might think you only use a little bit, a little bit every day adds up.  They can accumulate in your body's tissues and eventually lead to feeling lousy, chronic disase and even cancer.   And we're passing this along to the next generation - babies are born with toxins already in their bodies!  How scary is that??!!    Take a look at this new video from the same people who created "The Story of Stuff" (which, if you haven't seen it, is definitely worth watching!) - I think it does a great job explaining the problem.
