    • Science

Why is science and evidence seen as the enemy in the cosmetics industry?  Clean Beauty, No Nasties, Organic, Free From are destroying the industry from within.  The curious consumer is not informed, they are being manipulated and exploited by these new marketing terms.  What are we afraid of?  Why can't we communicate effectively?
