Toxic Beauty

Phyllis Ellis 2019 1:30:02

With exclusive access to doctors, lawyers, and scientists, Toxic Beauty explores how cosmetic products are made, paralleling the long struggle with the industry to decades of public pressure for reforms against the tobacco industry in the 1960s. The film shows that thousands of dangerous chemicals in popular cosmetic products in the United States are completely unregulated, not even requiring warning labels when carcinogenic or hormone-disrupting substances are identified.
