Abstract

An editorial is presented in which the authors discuss the intersection of racism, sexism, and classism with what is termed the environmental injustice of beauty products and the beauty products industry. It examines the health impact of unequal chemical problems for Black and Latina women, regulation of the cosmetics industry by the U.S. government, and the concept of clean beauty.
