There is a lot more to beauty than just flawless, acne-free, sun-protected skin. In fact, you should be aware of the health and environmental impact of the products we put on our skin every day.

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has been working tirelessly to change legislation since 2004, and today they have some huge news. First, they announced the introduction of new legislation by Rep.
