Let\u2019s get ready to rumble folks! It\u2019s Think Before You Pink 2017 and this year is a great campaign. With this year\u2019s campaign, \u201cKnot Our Pink Ribbon\u201d, Breast Cancer Action is taking the original pinkwasher Estee Lauder to task. And as a makeup and skincare enthusiast, I am all for it.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Estee Lauder, along with many other cosmetic\/skincare companies, have profited on selling the idea of beauty and vitality, while not being forthcoming with consumers about the components of their products. America\u2019s cosmetic industry is surprisingly under regulated putting the consumer in a position to try and understand exactly what it is they are putting on their skin.<\/p>\n

Estee Lauder commandeered the pink ribbon from hard core, grassroots, activist Charlotte Haley<\/a> to help bring more \u201cawareness\u201d to breast cancer, and yet today they create products that included ingredients suspected of increasing breast cancer risk, such as parabens and octinoxate. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to participate in the \u201cKnot Our Pink Ribbon\u201d campaign. Hopefully it will be a signal not just to Estee Lauder, but to all cosmetic and skincare companies that it is time to consider the health of their consumers.<\/p>\n
