There's Lead in Your Lipstick: Toxins In Our Everyday Body Care And How To Avoid Them

I stopped wearing makeup in university, after all it was burn the bra days. But I often said to myself that when I get old there were two things that I was going to do. Start wearing makeup and watch more T.V. Well, I'm old now, but after listening to the big message in this book looks like maybe I'll skip the makeup!

Either author Gillian Deacon is a marketing genius or else she's really onto something because this is one of our bestsellilng books right now. Deacon is a breast cancer survivor and she is especially furious about pinkwashing - a term used to describe how many of the big cosmetics coporations depict themselves as leaders in the fight against breast cancer. This book is a tome and covers everything from shampoo and sunscreen to moisturizers, perfumes and lead smacking lipstick. She'll tell you more than you want to know about deodorant versus anti-perspirants and even tell you how to replace all of these nasty products with more benign ones. Check out the top 20 toxins to avoid...they're everywhere! That's why women are buying this book!
