This is a video response to an email written by Stacy Malkan of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. She makes false accusations about Stats.org at George Mason University, claiming they are funded by big oil. Not only does she fail to address any substantive criticism of her work, her statements are patently false. Someone confident with her work would not engage in such tactics. These are serious policy issues with enormous ramifications and the public deserves a debate. My video critique of The Story of Cosmetics can be found here: www.youtube.com I previously debunked Annie Leonard's video titled, "The Story of Stuff." That four-part series can be seen below along with other links for references. "The Story of Cosmetics," is either dishonest, or Annie is unaware of an FDA study that debunks most of what she claims.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced today a plan to remove harmful chemicals from all of its baby products worldwide. The reformulation comes after the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics published a report revealing that Johnson's Baby Shampoo still contains formaldehyde-releasing chemicals in the US, Canada, and China, even though formaldehyde-free versions of the product are available in several other countries. Stacy Malkan, co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and author of the initial report responded to Johnson & Johnson's announcement saying, "Other major baby brands must now follow suit. Clearly, there is no need to be exposing babies to cancer-causing chemicals in the bathtub. Many companies are already making bath products without carcinogens and that's what all companies should be doing." Malkan added that other top children's bath products made by Huggies, L'Oreal, Grins & Giggles, Baby Magic, Sesame Street, and CVS also contain the same harmful chemicals. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is currently trading down 0.68% at $63.95 in the early morning session.

The Hockaday School, located in Dallas, Texas, was introduced to the excitement and passion of the Teen for Safe Cosmetics campaign. After an enlightening introduction about the campaign by Judi Shils and two campaign members, Hockaday students were convinced about the important cause and ready to get involved. I personally never knew the seriousness and potential harmful ingredients in beauty and personal care products that and my fellow peers and I use daily. I believe it is crucial for young women to raise awareness, advocate for change, and make a difference in todays world.

storyofcosmetics.org COMING JULY 21, 2010 -- Major loopholes in US federal law allow the $50 billion beauty industry to put unlimited amounts of chemicals into personal care products with no required testing, no monitoring of health effects and inadequate labeling requirements—making cosmetics among the least-regulated consumer products on the market. The Story of Cosmetics employs the Story of Stuff style to examine the pervasive use of toxic chemicals in everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo. The film will explore the health implications for consumers, workers, and the environment, and show how we can move the industry away from hazardous chemicals and toward safer alternatives. The Story of Cosmetics is co-produced with the trailblazing environmental health activists at the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. The release will support the introduction of groundbreaking national legislation to regulate personal care product ingredients.

Did you know that the FDA doesn't check any of the chemicals put into personal care products? Did you know that of those chemicals, a vast majority of products uses chemicals linked to cancer, brain defects and male infertility? The average male uses 6 personal care products a day, the average female, 12. I think this ...is screwed up, and something needs to be done. www.safecosmetics.org

Quaternium-15 is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative. It is used in many cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations. According to the report, obtained by The Associated Press, one of the suspect chemicals, quaternium-15, is a preservative that kills bacteria by releasing formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, used as a disinfectant and embalming fluid, was declared a known human carcinogen this past June by the US National Toxicology Program. Formaldehyde also is a skin, eye and respiratory irritant. Quaternium-15 is still an ingredient on Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo sold in the US, Canada, China, Indonesia and Australia, but the campaign's research this summer found it's not in the same product sold in at least eight other countries, from the UK and Denmark to Japan and South Africa. The second chemical, 1,4-dioxane, is considered a likely carcinogen. It's a byproduct of a process for making chemicals more soluble and gentler on the skin. www.charlotteobserver.com 1,4-Dioxane Because it is a contaminant produced during manufacturing, the FDA does not require 1,4-dioxane to be listed as an ingredient on product labels. Without labeling, there is no way to know for certain how many products contain 1,4-dioxane—and no guaranteed way for consumers to avoid it. Most commonly, 1,4-dioxane is found in products that create suds, like shampoo, liquid soap and bubble bath. Environmental Working Group's analysis suggests that 97 percent of hair relaxers, 57 percent of baby soaps and 22 <b>...</b>

Jessica was shocked to learn that many personal care products contain chemicals that have been linked to cancer and reproductive ailments. Working with the Teens for Safe Cosmetics Campaign, Jessica created "Operation Beauty Drop" during which large bins were placed in public malls for teenagers to drop off their toxic beauty products. The collected products were sent back to the manufacturers with a petition signed by the teens demanding the reformulation of products without toxic chemicals. As support for Jessica's program grew, so did her belief that she could institute change on a larger scale and in individuals' lives. With four of her friends, Jessica lobbied senators and the California governor's office to pass SB484, a bill that requires cosmetics manufacturers to inform the Department of Health Services if their products contain carcinogens or other toxic substances. After the successful and unexpected passage of SB484 on October 7, 2005, she organized a Teens for Safe Cosmetics Summit educating teens from around the country on how to conduct their own safe cosmetic campaigns. Over thirty students took part in the workshops and began their own projects in their communities.

Phthalates aka "plasticizers" are a group of chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and resilient. Phthalates are considered to be the everywhere chemicals and can be found in many products, ranging from children's toys to medical supplies to personal products and cosmetics. Women tend to have higher levels of phthalates in their bodies compared to men because they use more of these products. Phthalates act as endocrine disruptors and can threaten the reproductive system. Phthalates are also associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. To decrease risk, be aware of the products you buy, use simpler and fewer products, and join the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (www.safecosmetics.org Protection begins with you.
