    UGGG… Brent! I don’t catch much TV so this was really revealing and yucky… I buy my makeup from a specific health-driven supplier so hopefully I am ok… but now you scared me…

    It is a little crazy and the video is a little over the top. However, I don’t think a lot of people know what types of chemicals go into the production of certain products like cosmetics. We do test cosmetics for different elements, mostly lead.

    I think it is important for people to know where their product comes from. The documentary is very descriptive.
