Additional Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry Information

Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible? Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful they’ve kept themselves unregulated for decades. Not Just a Pretty Face chronicles the quest that led a group of health and environmental activists to the world’s largest cosmetics companies to ask some tough questions:

As doors slammed in their faces and the beauty myth peeled away, the industry’s toxic secrets began to emerge. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover. The good news is that while the major multinational companies fight for their right to use hazardous chemicals, entrepreneurs are developing safer non-toxic technologies and building businesses on the values of health, justice and personal empowerment.

She endorses them so I firmly believe in her and her endorsement. What an eye opener. Wow. The book itself arrived quickly and I wouldn't have known it had been used. I have since tossed all of my cosmetics and shampoos, conditioners etc. I met Stacy (the author) at a Xango convention and now am a distributor for their products. If you'd like to reach me for any questions (no solicitation) about the book and the products go to[.]. Have a SAFE DAY.

Interested in what's going on in the beauty business. This is a must read. Prepare to get angry.

An eye opener on all the toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products we use. A recommended read not only for woman but men, too, because there's synthetic fragrances and toxic chemicals in shaving creams, lotions, everything.

I really cannot UNDERLINE enough how IMPORTANT this book is.Everyone who ever used a COSMETICS product should read this.It will change for good the way they understand our society, theywill have much more INSIGHT.

I use very few cosmetics and always get compliments on my skin. A very interesting subject with very scarey results. It is amazing we are so careless with the chemicals we apply to our bodies. Hmmm.makes you think. A very good read for anyone interested in what is really going on.
