The Beauty Industry's Dirty Secret (how to avoid poisoning yourself)

The beauty industry markets wellness and self-care—but behind the scenes, it's one of the least regulated consumer spaces. In the U.S., cosmetic companies aren't required to test products for safety before they're sold, potentially exposing consumers to harmful ingredients linked to serious health concerns.

In this revealing video, we explore how the lack of regulation allows many everyday items—from lipstick to lotion—to contain ingredients linked to cancer, hormone disruption, or skin irritation. We also unmask the misleading marketing tactics, showing how terms like "natural," "organic," or "dermatologist-tested" are almost always unregulated and potentially misleading.

Perhaps most concerning is the disconnect between marketing and formulation, especially when brands promote products using pink ribbons or breast cancer awareness campaigns—while continuing to use ingredients that may be linked to cancer risks. Learn how to identify safer alternatives and make more informed choices about the products you use daily.
