Pretty Toxic: A new Documentary on the chemicals on your skin from cosmetics

Posted by From Mercola on

From Mercola:

  • The documentary "Pretty Toxic" highlights real-life cases of severe health consequences from using seemingly harmless personal care products, emphasizing the need for stronger safety regulations
  • The U.S. cosmetics industry operates under minimal regulation, with outdated laws from 1938 and no FDA authority to recall dangerous products, posing health risks to consumers
  • Common ingredients in personal care products, such as phthalates, parabens and formaldehyde, have been linked to serious health issues including cancer, reproductive problems and hormone disruption
  • Environmental concerns arise from personal care product chemicals entering water systems, with sunscreen pollution significantly impacting marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs
  • Consumers can make informed choices using resources like EWG's Skin Deep database, while supporting companies prioritizing safety and transparency, and advocating for stronger regulations and green chemistry education.
