The True Story of Cosmetics

FEATURED STORY: The True Story of Cosmetics

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the Environmental Working Group are working to publicize the perceived risks of cosmetic products. Unfortunately, they're frightening consumers away for no reason other than the perpetuation of their campaign against all products that don't fit the 'green' standard. This week, CEI released a study by Dana Joel Gattuso responding to the claims of environmentalist groups. You can read the full study here. CEI's press statement on the study is here.

October 20, 2011: Congress Passes Free Trade Agreements

CEI Adjunct Fellow Fran Smith, coauthor of the new CEI study "Free Trade without Apology," talks about the recently passed free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. The agreements will lower tariffs and other trade barriers between the U.S. and the other countries, and are expected to reap billions of dollars of economic benefits. The agreements also contain a number of trade-unrelated provisions, such as labor and environmental standards. These erode our trading partners' sovereign lawmaking power, and are best avoided in future agreements.
