| History will look back on our generation with amazement. We are the first society to have chosen commerce over health. While other societies have poisoned themselves, few have done so knowingly and none have done so with such abandon and recklessness. Skin Deep This book is more than your cosmetic code breaker - it\'s a complete expose of the toxicity of chemicals in common skin care, cosmetics and household cleaning products found in Australian homes. It highlights the lack of accountability of the manufacturers and the complicity and self-interest of Government in refusing to regulate dangerous common chemicals. As Kevin Farrow shows in SKIN DEEP the chemicals contained in widely-used beauty products such as moisturisers, shampoos, nailpolish, deodorant, fragrances, eye-shadow and lipstick have been show to be variously toxic, carcinogenic or to induce skin irritations and allergies. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the lack of regulation in the manufacturing of many of our everyday products. The drive is underway to increase accountability. Australia, contrary to perception, is one of the most lax protectors of its citizens through product regulations. Just who does monitor the safety or otherwise of cosmetic and cleaning products? - the terrifying answer is no-one! As shown by the response to the program done on SKIN DEEP by Channel 7 in the TODAY TONIGHT show in mid April, this question and the controversial answers covered in this book are a contemporary concern of many 1000\'s of Australians. Here, then, is your guide to making informed consumer choices! |
