"Pretty Toxic” is a 2019 documentary about the toxic chemicals used by the $500 billion beauty industry—and the healthy price consumers pay to be pretty.

Pretty Toxic is a ground-breaking film that explores what’s inside beauty and personal care products and brings clarity to widespread confusion that drives consumers to make spending decisions based on misunderstanding, marketing gimmicks, and fear. The cosmetics industry in the US is virtually unregulated.

Unlike most consumables, which fall under the responsibility of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), personal care products are governed by the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, adopted in 1938, which requires no government review of products before they go to market. Instead, the Act puts companies in charge of ensuring consumer safety, in essence, allowing them to self-police.

Directed by Jennifer B. White
