"Toxic Beauty"
reveals the truth about harmful health consequences of chemicals found in
everyday beauty products, the huge corporations that knowingly use them and the
lack of governmental regulations to protect consumers.
Each morning we spritz and
slather ourselves in over 100 different chemicals – yet the cosmetics and
personal care industry in North America is not required to prove an ingredient
is safe for human health before it is on the shelves. So when we run a bath,
lather cream for a shave, apply our makeup or deodorize our underarms, we could
be exposing our bodies to myriad toxic chemicals. Hormonal disruption in baby
boys, developmental delays, ADHD, low sperm count in men – the cosmetic industry
isn’t pretty. "Toxic Beauty" is a documentary feature that follows
the class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson and the plaintiffs;
people fighting for justice in a race against time.
This Screening will be
followed by an action-oriented fundraising activity benefitting the nonprofit Green
Inside and Out, preceded by a panel discussion regarding the Toxic Free
Cosmetics Act, featuring:
