Is talcum powder really carcinogenic? What about hair dyes? What are the dangers involved in using eye pencils and mascara made from carbon black, history’s earliest black pigment? Is there such a thing as vegan eyeshadow? Glitter: how is it produced? What is it? Beatrice Mautino responds to these daily questions about cosmetic products by means of nice case studies and stories. This is a book that takes the side of the consumer, trains us to read between the lines of a label and contains no advertising – only tips, real tips to help us avoid scams and false promises.
