Your knowledge and wisdom about this concerning situation open our eyes beyond our ignorance or lack of education about this ugly stuff. Obviously the power of these companies sometimes goes over the consumers that do not really understand a lot about these issues. From now on it is not going to be just by the good smell but by the environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database at: cosmeticsdatabase.org. Thank you all for share about these selfish and clueless products.

I am moved on Lisa Logan statements that the real beauty is not the physical features of a person but rather as the inner personality of an individual.

I would like a little bit of her comments. Probably this article is not promoting a product but giving you a tip on how to choose quality beauty products that can enhance your physical features. As we know, human doesn’t have any contentment in their lives, they are still looking for something and that is change.

We are increasingly being sold on gimmicks, not innovation, and this is leading us down the wrong path.

Really Nice I also have some information for blog visitors about skin care,
Check out the following beauty tips that work as an effective cure for acne.
1.You should refrain from consuming milk and milk products, cottage cheese, sherbet and skimmed milk products. White bread, processed food and refined sugar are also to be avoided.
2.Topical bactericidal creams are effective in treating acne.
3.There are several herbal remedies for acne. Herbs like burdock, cleavers, butternut and echinacea are useful for acne. You can blend any of these herbs with 5 ml of tincture. This has to be applied three times a day.
4.Orange peel powder mixed with water and applied to acne affected areas are also a good therapy.

Please, do forgive me for the mistakes I’ll surely be making in the next paragraphs… I don’t have opportunities to put into practise the English language that I have learned so many years ago. But I still keep the basic knowledge that I’ll never forget fortunately.

I need to tell you what I feel, what I think, what I FEAR for our own future, for the future of our little ones. It´s not enough to change “some” things in this “necrotic” system… We have to change most EVERYTHING if we wish a better future for our own children… please…!!! In the U.S.A. as in Canada, Europe, Japan, China and all the developed countries, the present culture of ilimited consuming habits has to be radically changed to the opposite culture of total AUSTERITY.

I think it’s time for all humankind to be conscious about reality. It’s not possible to go on with this irrational level of industrialization.

Humankind MUST STOP making so many frivolous and unnecessary luxurious products, all dispensable in this necrotic system of ilimited consumption. Our very toxic and contaminating garbage is growing in exponential degree, as well as human population does. Neverending contamination…!!!

Natural resources will soon be exhausted, so the logical reaction SHOULD BE to walk back the same way that brought us all up to this irrational point of neverending consumption.

DECREASE IS one of the two alternatives we have, but the ONLY LOGICAL ALTERNATIVE that IS LEFT in this PATHETIC REALITY that INVOLVES US ALL. The another one is to go on in the same very dramatically wrong way we are since ever.

Industrialization has to DIMINISH to the minimun necessary and vital level.

It’s needed a radical change in all steps of Education to provide the technical, mechanical, manual knowledge to go back to our grandparents’ times or to the style of the Amish people, in order to prepare our children to be able to get their own daily sustenance from mother earth, taking care of it naturally and without agrotoxical and chemical industrialized products. Familiar or community farms, with agricultural cooperatives in small communities should be encouraged to be done elsewhere for the self-sufficiency of goods and supplies. Recycling, restoration, recovering, reparing activities with manual and handicraft labours should be the alternative jobs in the near future for our children, activities of minimum fossil fuels requiry.

Please, do all what is possible for you to encourage the whole World to STOP PRODUCING cars, electronical supplies incompatible with new ones that forces people all around the world to buy new elements instead, luxurious materials, most everything no biodegradable and with very toxic components, etc.etc.etc. Industrialization should be diminished to its minimun necessary level!!!!!

Instead, it has to be produced all types of spare parts to recycle, restore, repare, recover, etc., all types of manual and mechanical elements for all jobs and labours of minimum fossil fuels requiry.

WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE NATURAL RESOURCES THAT ARE STILL LEFT…

NO other alternative energy will be able to sustaine this irrational level of neverending consumption. It’s not enough to go on studying other alternative energies in this irrational and neverending necrotic system of insatiable industrialization.

We are all destroying our unique Planet, we are destroying LIFE elsewhere, contaminating water, air, soil, and intoxicating PEOPLE with MINING and AGRIBUSINESS activities.

Latinamerican people, the poor people in this part of the Third World or of this Latinamerican Developing Countries are suffering since ever in many ways because of long-term unemployment, intoxication, contamination, physical attacks to push them out of their ancestral lands and to be left excluded in poorer areas. All of our communities in Argentina are suffering the consequences of contamination of our soil, air, water natural resources with mining and agribusiness activities of multinational monopolies. The Economic Power of the First World is taking out all our natural resources and destroying our ecosystems, killing LIFE in the vulnerable biodiversity, contaminating our water natural resources, our soil, intoxicating our people, etc.etc.etc.

GREED, SELFISHNESS, LIES, HYPOCRISY, are the values and principles that push people of economic power in the First World since ever.

This is the only truth that explains everything pretty much.

Whoever doesn’t want to see or understand this… it’s simply because he or she feels the same and shares with them the same purposes: to earn more and more BLOODSTAINED MONEY, to hoard PROPERTIES insatiably, etc.etc.etc.

We need to multiplicate our voices exponentially. We have to awaken more and more people all around the world from the basis of this feudal social pyramid. We need to be more and more people all around the World to take notice of this dramatic situation, that makes us feel this same anguish and distress in order to try to change this suicidal way straight to an abyss without return…

Please, you have to visit these other web sites for more information given by suitable professionals of all around the world.

Okay you are so against this shave gel. Well it does not take a genius to know u can use the product for other things did you not go to public school. I right away used it as a fun light up toy for my son. Also i have gone through years and years of horrible raiser burn trying to find the right shave gel, cream or lotion to easy the problem. then my boyfriend tried this product and i figured hey its in my bathroom i will try it once. it was the best stuff i have ever used. I love the stuff. If the chemicals in it are harming my body so be it. I can not stand this razor burn no more. Plus have you ever heard of fast food. that’s horrible to but look at how many are in each town. Also what about the commercials about depression medications. those are packed with stuff you would not put in your body by itself but when they are mixed together you will some people call that meth. but pharmacy’s who have there hands on it call it mental health drugs.

Hi
I just watched your movie and was really impressed. I have been to many places including africa and have seen and smelt the result of our western consumerism on these beautiful people and environments. I watch westerners poison themselves and their children with Aspartamine,BCP’s and all manner of erronous poisons that we blindly ingest and share. and then we wonder why cancer is growing at a epidemic proportion. It saddens me to think that average american,australian,english and New Zealander do not know how what we do effects so many people/children in a very negative way .. you rock !!

Sorry, I was commenting on the video, THE STORY OF STUFF. I am new to blogging and I didn’t realize these comments were suppose to be for the article ,THE UGLY SIDE OF THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY. I have been a person who would just complain to neighbors and friend, my husband or co-workers who basically have the same views on the world as I do. I am a new grandma and now I have a grandson who is going to inherit the world I leave for him, and unlike when I was raising his mother and didn’t have the time, I now have the time and wisdom age brings (not too mention courage ) to be more active and verbal.

I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE VIDEO BUT I FELT YOU DID NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY AND PROJECTED YOUR PERSONAL BIAS – FOR EXAMPLE , THE NEW LIGHT BULBS WE ARE REQUIRED TO USE ARE TOXIC TO RECYLE- THE FIRE RETARDENT ON OUR STUFF IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR SAFETY – THE BENEFITS OUT WEIGHT THE NEGATIVES. THE PART ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH IS NOT NECESSARY YOU LEFT OUT THE CONGRESS AND SENATE- HE WAS NOT ALONE ( THAT IS A PERSONAL OPINION.) ALSO THE PART ABOUT BIG BUSINES – WE NEED PRIVATE BUSINESS TO KEPT THIS ECONOMY GOING – WE DON’T WANT TO BECOME A SOCIALIST SOCIETY- WHERE GOVERMENT OWNS EVERYTHING. AS MY HUSBAND AWAYS SAYS” I NEVER GOT A JOB FROM A POOR MAN.” THERE HAS TO BE REWARDS FOR TAKING A GAMBLE ON AN IDEA AND STARTING A BUSINESS, OTHER WISE NO ONE WOULD TAKE THE RISK. MANY OF THE RICH STARTED OUT WITH AN IDEA AND TOOK A GAMBLE ( MANY TIMES PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE LINE- SELLING HOME AND ALL THEIR WORDLY POSSESSIONS) AND WORKED 80 HOURS PER WEEK ,7 DAYS A WEEK TO GET THEIR BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND. HOW MANY ACRES OF FOREST BURN EACH YEAR BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH UNDERBRUSH. ALL THE LUMBER THAT WENT UP IN SMOKE. JUST THINK ABOUT HOW MANY HOMES COULD OF BEEN BUILD TO PROVIDE SHELTER FOR PEOPLE IF WE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED LOGGING COMPANIES TO IN. IT IS THIS KIND OF INFORMATION MISSING FROM YOUR VIDEO, THAT MAY MAKES IT PROPAGANDA VERSUS DOCUMENTARY.
