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.
In this interview, Shelley, who is the Director of the LA Cancer Prevention Coalition, 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.
Get out the trash bag. This interview will leave you thinking long and hard about what's under your sink, in your make-up bag, in your shower...
