Ethics and Beauty: What's Important to You?

While it can seem like one of the fluffiest things to be interested in, it's a fact that the global beauty industry is a massive one that supports hundreds of thousands of jobs and is responsible for billions in revenue. There's way more to worry about in the business of cosmetics than concerns over eye shadow pigmentation and brand brand availability - and with big business comes some hard questions.

What are your ethical bugbears when it comes to the biz of beauty? Is sustainability or fair trading of ingredients your main concern or does animal testing top your list of worries? Maybe price disparities cause you to bring a brand's business practices into question or are you firm in your feeling that companies should be as chemical-free as possible? Maybe you really hate misleading advertising or brands who over-claim as to what their products can do?
