256: Is your makeup killing you? On this episode of Realfoodology, I’m joined by Attorney Whitney Ray Di Bona (or the LowToxLawyer on Instagram) who has represented women who developed terminal cancer due to asbestos in their cosmetics. We talk about why even the ‘clean products’ can’t always be trusted, and the regulations that could prevent this from happening in the future. Trust me, I know this sounds overwhelming. But I hope you can take away one or two tips from Whitney to start cutting back on the most toxic products so you don’t end up in one of these lawsuits.
Topics Discussed:
→ Toxic ingredients in skincare and beauty products 
→ Whether clean products are actually safe
→ The truth about botox and filler 
→ Biggest lawsuits against cosmetics companies
→ Regulation in the makeup/skincare industry in the U.S. vs. abroad
