Date & Time: March 24, 2025 | 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EST
Location: Virtual on Zoom
Join us for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on the chemicals hiding in our everyday beauty products and their impact on our health. This Women’s History Month, we are bringing together experts, advocates, and community voices to break the silence on beauty justice and push for industry-wide change.
