The old saying that "Beauty is only skin deep" can't be farther from the truth.  The Story of Cosmetics, hosted by Annie Leonard, was released earlier this week to educate us on the use of toxic chemicals in everyday health and beauty products.  The video talks about the hazards to consumers, salon workers and the environment.



Leonard's other videos include "Story of Stuff", "Story of Electronics", "Story of Bottled Water" and "Story of Cap & Trade". For more information check out the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
