Here is a video-review of our Too Toxic to Dump event. Eco beauty is not just a fad but a serious goal on our part: the skin will absorve all the toxic ingredients that are being literally dumped on your face. Read your labels! Lips Agains Lead is a specific campaing that we are only to proud to join... Think about it, 60% of all lipsticks have lead... not good. The links to health problems are only too real. It is worth it for you to investigate further what goes into the beauty products you use.
