An expose by Stacy Malkan about toxic chemicals in cosmetics. The book chronicles the quest that led a group of health and environmental activists to the world's largest cosmetics companies to ask some tough questions:

  • Why do products used daily by men and women of childbearing age contain chemicals linked to birth defects and infertility?

As doors slammed in their faces and the beauty myth peeled away, the industry's toxic secrets began to emerge. The good news is that while the major multinationals fight for their right to use hazardous chemicals, entrepreneurs are developing safer non-toxic technologies and building businesses on the values of health, justice and personal empowerment.
