Cosmetics and personal care products are the single largest class of avoidable lifelong exposures to highly toxic ingredients, including many scientifically proven to cause cancer. Contrary to popular belief, the FDA neither warns us about nor protects us from these dangers. Concerned only with its own sales, the industry recklessly ignores or trivializes them, making them guilty of flagrant white collar crime.
In Toxic Beauty, longtime international cancer prevention expert Dr. Epstein outlines the serious threats that toxic ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products pose to our health and our lives. He describes the carcinogenic, hormonal, and other toxic ingredients in these products, and provides information on the safe alternative products becoming increasingly available.
Part exposé and part practical handbook, Toxic Beauty shows you how to protect your health, and that of everyone you care about.

Great educational book!:
Love the book! Information supplied that everybody should know about. I will use this book as a reference book always.
A "must read":
Toxic Beauty is a must read for all women especially because of the products we use on our bodies daily. If I could afford to, I would buy a copy for all my female friends -- why doesn't the FDA regulate, or advise women, of the toxic chemicals in these products??
Cosmetic Toxins:
A very informative book on the chemicals in cosmetics and body care, and what to avoid.
Wanted Details:
Very helpful book overall, but would have been better with tear out sheet with cosmetics to avoid, though am sure it had to do with potential litigation, so will be armed with my list of chemicals when I shop.
