Toxics in, toxics out—into products, workers, communities, and babies. We're all loaded with toxins. Babies are even born preloaded with the junk. This video by is fun to watch while it blows the whistle on the corruption of an industry that markets toxic chemicals as organic and natural. Pink washing is outed, along with naming corporate names, like Estee Lauder. There aren't even any Cosmetics Safety Standards in the US!
