"Looking primped and polished can be hazardous to your health, according to a new report by the David Suzuki Foundation that's calling on the government to do more to keep a 'dirty dozen' toxic chemicals out of personal care products sold in Canada.
The study looked at ingredient labels on more than 12,500 products ranging from makeup and lotions to deodorants and toothpaste.
It found some 80 per cent of products contained at least one of 12 chemicals or groups of chemicals on a shortlist of common cosmetic ingredients deemed harmful to the environment and human health."
