There’s something in your nail polish besides a sassy red color. And it could hurt you. Every day, were all guilty of using products that contain chemicals we know nothing about besides their long (unpronounceable) scientific name. Now authors Siobhan O'Connor and Alexandra Spunt are looking to change that. The goal of their new book, “No More Dirty Looks: How to End Your Addiction to Chemical Cosmetics (And Still Look Hot), is to keep consumers looking beautiful— and safe.
The book sprang to life when the two authors received a hair treatment they loved, until they discovered the secret ingredient was formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen, is the same chemical used as an embalming agent. The two were shocked and sought out to discover what’s actually in our beauty products.
And we’re so glad they did. With the help of medical, scientific and other industry experts, “No More Dirty Looks” features the safest products available to consumers. It also lists numerous home recipes, perfect for cleansing our chemical-ridden beauty lifestyles.
Not only that the book seems especially relevant our the green-obsessed world. Available in July, we’re looking forward to saving the Earth and our health, one beauty product at a time.
