Toxics Book Tour:  Cosmetics and Children's Products

November 12-15, 2007

Bellingham - Port Townsend - Aberdeen - Seattle

Lead in Lipstick?

Cancer Causing Chemicals in Baby Shampoo?

How Is This Possible?

• Learn about hidden poisons in cosmetics and children's products.
• Hear about the efforts at the state and national level to shift the market to safe non-toxic products.
  

The Washington Toxics Coalition, along with our partner organizations, are pleased to sponsor four Washington stops on the national book tour for Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry, by Stacey Malkan.  The book delves into the dark side of the beauty industry and it's impacts on children's health. 

Join us for a reading by the author, giveaways of natural products, and conversations about ways we can work together to protect our health by shifting the market to safe, non-toxic products.   Local environmental health leaders will discuss similarly disturbing findings in the toy industry, such as lead in children's products.

All events are free and include light snacks.
