Toxic cosmetics…the dark side of beauty products.

Since her mother’s passing from cancer at the age of 56, Shelley Kramer set out to uncover the causes of cancer in our environment and got no further than her medicine cabinet. Shelley, a cancer survivor herself who’s had tumors removed from her eyelid and lip, researched toxic ingredients in shampoos and cosmetics and has since made it her life’s mission to educate the public on carcinogens found in products we use on our skin every day.

Shelley tells us why the toxic chemicals in personal hygiene products are so dangerous, which ingredients in particular to avoid, and how to find safe alternatives. With no new laws established since 1938 (yet thousands of new chemicals in the marketplace), there is practically no regulation to protect consumers—and all of us are at risk.

You will never look at your personal care products the same way.

Shelley Kramer is the Director of the Cancer Prevention Coalition for Los Angeles. She is a cancer survivor who has made it her life’s mission to educate the public on the avoidable risks of cancer from daily used environmental toxins by helping them read labels and understand there are safe alternatives available.
