Just Another Pretty Face

Now I have a rational reason why I don't like make-up and other cosmetics. I bought this to give my daughters the first time they come to me asking to wear make-up. The teens in this book are so bold - what a great way to learn independence and empowerment - the cause is real, they are the market, and they will change it. I hope by the time my daughters are actually old enough to buy these products, the market will have transformed and they won't need to worry about chemicals in their shampoos, nail polish, and blush. Get this for everyone you know, male, female, young or old to uncover what's behind the cosmetics industry push to be "pretty."

A Must Read for Women of ALL Ages

Every woman should read, learn and act so they can protect themselves, their families and their friends. Stacy offers compelling incites into a business that could change if the market DEMANDED it to. We must learn from Stacy's experiences so we can change the way our products are manufactured and marketed.

A great read, must-have information!

This book isn't just fascinating because of all the information it provides - it's also full of wonderful stories told with a very personal touch. It's easy to read, interesting, and a must-have for any woman who wants to understand how the cosmetics industry is impacting our health.

For an insider's look at the connections between women's rights, chemical pollution, and consumer safety, this book is a first-rate read!

An important book to read and to share

This book presents, in a very readable and interesting format, some critical information that all women (and men) should have. It's not just about make-up. Cosmetics and toiletries include everyday items that virtually everyone uses, such as soap, shampoo, and deodorant.

While toxins in cosmetics can affect the health of people of all ages, I am particularly concerned that young women of child-bearing age find out how they can protect their unborn children by avoiding the worst toxins.

The book is not a "downer" with a depressing "be very afraid" message. Instead, it empowers us to protect ourselves and our loved ones by chooser safer cosmetics. Of course you can still use soap, shampoo, and makeup. You just need to choose safer alternatives to the toxic stuff that's out there.

I bought 12 copies of this book and gave one to all my young relatives for Christmas. After I gave one to my sister (who is a physician), she was so impressed that she gave copies to her relatives on her husband's side, too.

This is a slim little book but a must-read for anyone who uses soap, shampoo, deodorant, aftershave, makeup, etc.
