Searching for Poison-free Lipstick?

As more and more toxins find their way into our bodies, we need to take a closer look at how they got there. While a tube of lipstick can't cause significant harm on its own, the chemicals it contains are compounded by a battery of others found in the soaps, shampoos and cosmetics we use everyday. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is trying to bring attention to the major loopholes in the federal law that give the cosmetics industry carte blanche to pour unlimited amounts of chemicals into the products we use to care for our bodies.
