Eye for Film

The film is unusual in the intelligence that it brings to bear across a multiplicity of disciplines, and although it leaves a few questions unanswered, overall it's very thorough and backs up its arguments well.

Rated: 4/5

I was expecting a Supersize Me for makeup, but it's much more sophisticated than that.

The Gate

Toxic Beauty might be a documentary about the unseen killers lurking in one's household, but it's also a hopeful tool for change.

Rated: 8/10

POV Magazine

Toxic Beauty illustrates how marketing myths are simply another form of misogyny against women's bodies.

By the end of the hard-hitting, wide-ranging exposé, you'll understand the fuller implications of words you already know-phthalates, parabens, endocrine disruptors.

It's very thought prevoking; just think of all the products we use in a day and all the ingredients that get absorbed in our skin and what we swallow in the shower or get on our lips and lick. It's terrible that most companies think only of the $$ they get and not about the long term effects on the population that these chemical have. Could they also cause cataracks. I'm throwing out alot of stuff today. (Available on CBC Gem)
