Webinar about Skin Care
Sent from Valerie who always has such interesting news. I had no idea about some of this stuff.... now I want to go toss a bunch of my cosmetics!
----
I wanted to pass along to you this link to a webinar that ONEgroup presented on organics & sustainability and greenwashing in personal care products. I thought that you would be interested in it personally, and that it might be something to present in part at Green Drinks for discussion.
