Welcome to the Season 5 Finale with my guest, Stacy Malkan, one of the founders of the US Right to Know. In this episode, we're talking about cosmetics and body products, the massive influence of beauty industry on us (and especially our youth) and what we can do to help change the industry and more importantly, relay this important information to future generations.

Stacy is an author and investigative journalist who created the Safe Cosmetics campaign and has been at the forefront of this very important issue for decades.

This is an important conversation to have. Why? So that we can all understand the impact that corporations, manufacturers and politicians have over the many products that we use in our hair and on our skin everyday.

Let's listen in so we can begin to stand up together. Please share this episode with someone you love...because with steadily declining fertility rates, our grandchildren depend on it!
