More brilliant stuff stories from Ms. Story of Stuff herself, Annie Leonard.

This time it's the inexplicable world of cosmetics that gets a good going over.

Marvellous.

ps. I once wrote a song called Cosmetics in a spectacularly unsuccessful band I was in during the '80s. So there you go.

Fantastic Video. Finally someone telling the truth. There should be more companies taking the responsible appproach such as Pure & Green Organics who have taken out the toxins of their skincare range, they even have toxin free toothpaste. Congratulations Annie Leonard. Robert Wilhelm, Australia
