The Story of Cosmetics

The Story of Cosmetics, released on July 21st, 2010, examines the pervasive use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo.
Produced with Free Range Studios and hosted by Annie Leonard, the seven-minute film by The Story of Stuff Project reveals the implications for consumer and worker health and the environment, and outlines ways we can move the industry away from hazardous chemicals and towards safer alternatives.
The film concludes with a call for viewers to support legislation aimed at ensuring the safety of cosmetics and personal care products.

    If the "natural" cosmetic products were required to list every ingredient on the label it would be 100 pages long. Cosmetics made of natural products including plant oils and extracts are still made up of chemicals, but they contain 1000's of different chemicals, many of which are known to be "toxic" and linked to cancer. Just because a chemical is naturally occurring vs man made does not mean it is safer. Everything is a chemical.

I haven't used anything but completely natural moisturizers for over 20years after a bad reaction to a L'Oreal product. At the moment I use Shea butter, which I love. I only use diluted essential oils for perfume and mixed with bi carb for deodorant. I use a mostly plant based shampoo and body wash but my next step is growing my own 😊 !

    MrGeRGYO Do your research before you comment. There is no reason for COSMETICS to be tested on animals OR humans. The EU has already banned cosmetic animals testing. The US is considering doing the same. And China may be following as well, even though they are the worst animal rights violaters on the planet. Innoxa which was founded in 1928 has NEVER tested on animals and is still around and many more cosmetic houses including TARTE, BH Cosmetics, Paul Mitchel, The Body Shop and a myriad of others. The worst offender is L'Oreal and its affiliated brands, like Lancome, Yves St Laurent, Armani, Biotherm Kielhs, Maybelline all test on animals. So unless you are a "speciesist" and when you submit a comment make sure you are informed first on the NEED for COSMETIC animal testing before posting an imbecilic statement.

    This video is not scientific. So frustrating to hear random people freak out and singularly exclaim that some chemical is """"Linked"""" to cancer. With no discussion of in what context a chemical is carcinogenic, no explanation of at what ratio of PPM does this chemical become dangerous, and no explanation of the purposes for things beyond causing cancer. This is seriously lowest common denominator reporting. I loved the video on Bottled Water, but can't deal with conspiracy theories about Chemical X is linked to cancer even though it has a million industrial uses and only is cancerous if you directly consume 6,000,000 grams per day. Who do you think is developing these chemicals? Scientists. This is not accomplishing anything beyond scare tactics, which you have railed against in other videos.

    Isn't the point that why should we even need those chemicals in our products to begin with? It shouldn't be a discussion of how much is safe... why would we risk it? And if they do want to use those chemicals, why not put a warning label on the bottle, saying don't use 6,000,000 grams of this a day because at that point it could be harmful?

    Jerry Jacques Can't be bothered retyping so just copying and pasting my comment. These so-called carcinogenic, neurotoxic and and reproductive toxic "chemicals" are not at all what they are being portrayed in this video. As a reproductive biologist, these "toxins" or "chemicals" are applied directly to cells under conditions very different to applying them to your hair, face or skin. This goes the same for all cells that are examined including other gametes, brain cells and body cells. If there were longitudinal studies examining the carcinogenic effect of these so-called "toxic" cosmetics they would result in no significant carcinogenic, neurotoxic, or reproduction problems.

Not all users of it do it out if pressure or a "standard", most of us in europe choose to use them on our own to better reflect our own chosen beauty norms. I naturally was drawn to super pale skin since I was a child and desired it since. Also korean style whitening creams aren't as outdated and harmful as, say, American or Phillipines skin bleach.

    This video is presenting information the same way P&G advertise their products, out of context and lack of details which is very misleading. They are not telling the whole stories here. They are not providing the data here. Yes, some ingredients may cause cancer in rats when they are fed at a almost 100% concentration, but they don't cause cancers in rats when they are fed at the concentration in your cosmetics which is much smaller, and I sure hope you are not eating your makeup. Feeding rats 20% milk protein gives them tumor and feeding them 5% milk proteins turns the tumor off. Also do you know bananas are radio active, whaaaa? See how this information albeit correct can be very misleading? Learn how to read the ingredient list. Then you will be the boss of your bathroom counter.

    Each individual product might have a low dose of each harmful chemical, but when you combine that with all the other products people use daily that also contain harmful chemicals, it adds up. Also, no, people are not eating their makeup. But in the case of lipstick, you're licking a little bit of it off every time you lick your lips.
