    Truth hurts

    To blame this content on the "current administration" shows complete ignorance.

    As always, research for yourself what you want in and on your body. Be your own advocate.

    Our country is full of very sick people, not only physically but mentally.

    Nothing is 'safe'. Not our communities, not our foods, not our products. Keep learning and discerning.

    Eat whole foods and use natural ingredients.

    Live and love well and cure your hatred.

    Great Information, But Stop Making Everything About Race!

    The only thing that I can say that was positive is that it is important to change laws to be safe...but that goes for EVERYTHING. About this video... FIRST, it is very important that ALL PEOPLE discover that some hair care, skin care, and nail care ingredients are toxic! And NOT just because a certain racial group used a certain product out of CHOICE. There was no mention of being tied down. I too have used those products...ALWAYS OUT OF CHOICE. I have wavy hair, got a perm, hated it, then used relaxer to fix it again. SECOND, I am so sick and tired of the false narrative that focuses on hatred of one group because of skin color. The same woman who whined about race also straightened her hair. Hypocrisy! HBO should be ashamed! If one group is targeted then ALL are targeted, because what goes around comes around. FINALLY, as I recall from the documentary, Tippi Hedren was trying to help new residents of the USA make a living, not anything bad, but ALL GOOD! No one at that time knew about or thought about toxicity of much... It's good that we're changing and wanting to be a healthier ONE PEOPLE!

    The Cosmetics Industry is Not So Pretty

    "Not So Pretty" (single season, 4 eps, 30-min, HBOmax) is an eye-opening takedown of the cosmetics industry's lack of regard for the public's health. Each episode takes down one or more companies in the makeup, nail, skin, and hair products areas. Their products are responsible for illnesses and/or conditions that can lead to death and Congress refuses to enable the FDA to advocate for consumers since they're in the pockets of, well frankly, all industries including the cosmetics industry.

    Don't Waste Your Time

    This falls into the correlation/causation trap.

    Anecdotal stories are not evidence. If you believe everything on the shelf is safe, you're horribly naive. Most things are made in China or somewhere else with fewer regulations than the US. It's a major reason corporations moved manufacturing overseas (and to get cheap labor).

    So everything in moderation is a good rule of thunb.

    don't listen to the haters

    John oliver does a great segment on pfas. Check that out. It's super bad and yeah i like to live how our ancestors did all natural products baby! Chemicals are in everything we use thanks to these companies. If you don't buy it they can't make money! Very informative and great resources to look into. I give this review a 10 because people need to make small changes to make big changes.
