DESCRIPTION

Shopping for cosmetics and personal care products is hazardous to your health … if you’re not reading and interpreting every label on every package you buy. Don’t buy one package or jar off the shelf … until you read and interpret every label. Harmful ingredients in your toiletries destroy your health and keep you unhealthy. Don’t let dangerous ingredients make you sick!

Virtually all cosmetics and personal care products contain chemical ingredients. If you buy your toiletries, even from a health food store, you still need to read labels more today than ever before!
Because of increasing consumer awareness about healthy products, manufacturers are designing the packages to make it look like the ingredients inside the package are plant derived, natural and healthy. But if you read and interpret the ingredients on the label, there's a very good chance that you'll find that’s not the case.

Many of the ingredients added to cosmetics and personal care products are harmful. In fact, cosmetics and toiletries are the least regulated products on the market. As long as the manufacturers of these products don't use toxic substances that have been banned, they are free to use whatever ingredients they want and market their products without testing them and without approval from the FDA.

The FDA can make suggestions or recommendations to manufacturers about cosmetic products or their ingredients, but the manufacturers do not have to comply. The FDA must first prove in a court of law that a product is harmful, improperly labeled, or violates the law if it wants to remove a cosmetic product from the market. According to John Bailey, Ph.D., director of the FDA’S Office of Cosmetics and Colors, "Consumers believe that 'if it's on the market, it can't hurt me,' and this belief is sometimes wrong."

Your health, your family’s health, the very quality of your lives is on the line here. You need to take action. The FDA is not going to protect you.

So YOU, yes, YOU need to take action. Nobody else is going to do it for you.

I’m totally passionate about helping people to be healthy by using healthy products with healthy ingredients. And it really irritates me when I see all the misinformation put out by the cosmetic and personal care product industry. To me, it’s criminal what the manufacturers are doing. They’re doing what the tobacco companies did for so many years before they got caught.

I want you to see the truth about the toiletry products in our stores. I want you to see through all the deception. I want you to see that the main objective of special interest groups is to make a profit—even if it kills you.

That’s why I revised my best-selling book, DYING TO LOOK GOOD: The Disturbing Truth About What’s Really In Your Cosmetics, Toiletries and Personal Care Products… And What You Can Do About It, and made it even better than it was before.

With this book, you’ll discover how quick and easy it is to tell if the products you're buying contain dangerous ingredients. It contains all the information about ingredients contained in the previous edition and more…

• Updated information on the cosmetic and personal care product industry
• Updated information on the safety of the ingredients
• New ingredients not included in the original edition
• New information on topics of special importance, like acrylic nails, antibacterial soaps, hair dyes, permanent make-up, sunscreens and more
• A completely new section on healthy products, where I personally checked every ingredient on every label to make sure they are healthy
• A resource section that contains contact information for every product and every company listed in the book, so you can easily find the products you want to buy
• Ten pages of references so that if you want to check up on my facts or do some of your own research, you’ve got a good place to start that will keep you busy for a long time

Remember, you can't depend on the FDA, the cosmetic and personal care product industry or anyone else to make sure the products you buy are safe. It's up to you!

Protect your family’s health. Don’t go shopping without this book.

Here's what others say about this book:

 
“Previously, the skin was thought to be an impenetrable barrier. Now, we know that the skin absorbs many of the chemicals put on it, even from products that are rinsed off.

This is an excellent overview of safe cosmetics and toiletries to use on the skin. Dr. Farlow gives knowledgeable practical advice to people who want to have optimal health and makes it easy to choose safe and healthy products.”

 
“This book is a must read for people concerned with their health and those who have not been able to find the cause of some of their nagging health problems.

In this well researched and well presented book we learn of some of the limitations of the Food and Drug Administration in protecting our health.  We also learn the truth about the chemicals used in cosmetics and personal care products that we use on a daily basis –  products that may be contributing to the epidemic of obesity and the rapid rise in the incidence of such medical conditions as diabetes, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, seizures, heart irregularities, migraine headaches, and  neurological diseases.”

“Loved your little book. It is very informative, and gets to the real data pronto. Anyone who uses these chemicals on a daily basis would do well to get a copy of your book and read it. It is also wonderful as a reference.”

“For years, I avoided cosmetics because of the fragrances or smothering effects I experienced when using them. ... Everyone concerned with looking good and being healthy needs this book to learn how to shop for cosmetics and health care products.”

“This handy book slips into my purse so nicely, I will never again shop for cosmetics or toiletries without it. Once again I am reminded that personal responsibility is the key to personal well being. Your book makes this job easier.”

Barbara Van Horne, DC

“Finally! A compact, incredibly useful book that demystifies the labels on cosmetics. I have always hated the idea of putting toxic substances on my face--especially on my mouth and eyes--but labels never really helped me be a cautious consumer because the ingredients read like a foreign language. This book is a very valuable tool that I carry with me whenever I go shopping. Knowledge is power when it comes to fighting the battle against toxins. I love it!”
