100 Years of Illegal Beauty Products | Allure
Ойын-сауық
Take a look back at the last century of illegal and banned beauty products, from a 1930s overnight hair remover than included rat poison and the 1940s ban on latex bra inserts, to the 1970s ban on the propellants used in aerosol sprays that deplete the ozone layer and the 1980s perfume Giorgio, which was so strong it was banned by several restaurants.

I like how, as time goes on, bans become less about controlling women/"protecting" men, and more about actual health an environmental concerns. Small victories, ladies.

@Olivia SUN I was saying that the person above said lipstick once contained these ingredients but they no longer do so your comment of, "is wearing red lipstick" makes no sense. Most lipstick is considered safe (not all, mind you, but most. particularly western brands). My apologies for coming off blunt but I tend to have that nature. Direct, straight-forward, and will correct people.

For the 1920's, they should have mentioned the infamous "Radium Girls" and how they were told to put radium on their teeth, hair, and skin to give off a glow in the dark effect. Of course it being radium you probably know what happened.....

They licked the end of a paint brush to get it to a point then dipped it into paint mixed with radium to pain over watch faces so they glowed. They'd relive the brush over and over and the radium stayed on their teeth which would glow after a while. Years later they developed cancer, jaw rot or both. The men who made the radium paint were in full containment suits but the girls handled it with no protection at all.

Ive learned about the CFS in biology that come from aerosol. (They can be find in spray bottles, air conditioners and even the air of the old fridges in that time.) Its the major problem that made the ozon hole. It is illegal now to be used and it has to pass around 100 years for the damage to pass and recreate the O3 molechule in air. I learned this in 7th grade on a Biology lesson. Hope you could find this informative! :D

At 0:50, I don’t think they necessarily put in straight up rat poison, but ingredients that are a large component used in rat poison. A huge one was arsenic, it was used in a lot of beauty products as well as medicine (could be wrong) it also had a green color like the lighting suggested.

@@PinkApocalypse fair point, and I get that and respect that, but maybe think about how many boys or men you know who feel compelled to put concealer on if they have pimples or bags under their eyes just to make themselves feel better, and compare that to how many girls and women you know who do. I used to feel compelled to put on concealer if I had pimples or bags under my eyes and felt better, but then one day I stopped and realized I knew maybe only one guy who did but more girls and women than I could name who did and questioned why that was and questioned why I felt compelled but guys don't.
The general idea seems to be that it’s possible to ban hazardous products but it’s impossible to ban a beauty technique itself (which is too controlling anyways).
