5 Ugly Truths You May Not Know About the Beauty Industry + Dr. Oz's Dangerous Beauty

5 Ugly Truths You May Not Know About the Beauty Industry from Treehugger.com  

1. Many skincare products contain chemicals toxic to the skin 

2. Companies that donate to breast-cancer research still use carcinogens in their products 

3. There are no safety assessments required for cosmetic products sold in the U.S. 

4. Many personal-care products contain toxic chemicals not listed on labels 

5. Not one of the mainstream beauty giants has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics pledge 

The movie, America the Beautiful, also exposes much of what is going on in the cosmetic industry and that it's all about their bottom line, not your health! Excellent movie!

For Healthy, Safe, Natural alternatives, I have been using these products since their inception in 1998 and other products from this company for over 30 years! I absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Today, Feb. 2, 2010, I'm adding Dr. Oz's take on this subject! On his show today, "Dangerous Beauty." It seems he agrees with everything I blogged about here back in Sept. 2009, including using completely safe products
