Not So Pretty - The Story of Cosmetics

Jul 26, 2010 10:08 AM EDT

The latest video from the folks at The Story of Stuff Project takes on the environmental toxins lurking in our homes - specifically in our personal care products. With her signature style of clear, accessible explanations and gentle humor, host Annie Leonard looks at how the $50 billion beauty industry puts dangerous, untested and carcinogenic chemicals into the products in YOUR bathroom cabinet. Shocked? You should be.

To learn more about how to protect yourself and your family, check out Not Just a Pretty Face by Stacy Malkan. 15 percent of the purchase price of each book sold through December 31, 2012 benefits the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, who also partnered with The Story of Stuff to produce this video.
