'The Story of Cosmetics' is a simple, animated video that shows the truth about your daily cosmetic products. Much like the Annie Leonard-hosted 'Story of Bottled Water,' 'The Story of Cosmetics' will be an eye-opener for some.
Men: if you think this doesn't apply to you, think again. Cosmetics include everything from lip balm to shampoo and soap -- many of which contain toxic chemicals that are damaging to both human health and the environment. The end goal of this 'The Story of Stuff Project' is for viewers to call on legislators to guarantee the safety of our personal care products.
