What’s all the fuss about cosmetics? To answer this question, BCAM offers two free, 45-minute presentations suitable for community groups and schools. The Beast of Beauty provides information about toxic chemicals in beauty and per­sonal care products, and ways to find safer products and to pressure government for better labelling and tighter ­regulation of products.

The FemmeToxic safe cosmetics workshop, designed for a youth audience, was developed and tested by FT interns and ­provides similar information in an interactive format. To book either presentation, call the BCAM office at 514 483-1846
