The Story of Cosmetics…

Just what is the toxic truth about those chemicals in your shampoo? your lipstick? your aftershave? And what do they have to do with asthma, cancer and learning disabilities?

Learn, share and help give the beauty industry a makeover: Watch The Story of Cosmetics, a 7-minute film exposing the ugly truth about personal care products – brought to you by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, Annie Leonard’s Story of Stuff Project and Free Range Studios.

Let’s make a huge splash with this new video: if we all share it with our friends and community, we can reach millions of people and really inspire change!

And now for even more exciting news: today the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 was introduced in Congress. We couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the film, or a better opportunity for you to be part of a comprehensive solution to toxic chemicals in cosmetics.

For the first time in 70 years, we have a real chance to pass a bill that would eliminate chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems from the products women, men and children put on their bodies every day. We need all hands on deck for this effort: Urge your elected officials to co-sponsor the Safe Cosmetics Act.

Thanks for watching and sharing The Story of Cosmetics and for asking Congress to get behind safe cosmetics legislation. Together, we’re going to make sure cosmetics are safe for everyone.
