Hi, I’m Whitney

I'm an attorney, advocate, and the founder of Beauty Justice — a platform exposing the toxic beauty industry and covering the lawsuits women need to know about.

I spent years representing men and women diagnosed with fatal cancers caused by asbestos exposure they never knew about. Many of my clients were women. Women who'd dusted talcum powder on their bodies every morning. Women who'd worn talc-based makeup every day for decades. Women who'd shaken baby powder onto their children.

These lawsuits led me to start investigating what was actually in my own products. And I became concerned.

I looked at the ingredients in everything I used, then at the cosmetic procedures being sold to women like me — Botox, fillers, lasers, all of it. Once I started looking at the dark corners of the beauty industry, I couldn't unsee them.

What I found was a system that profits enormously from selling women products, procedures, and standards that harm us. Toxic ingredients hiding behind beautiful packaging. Cosmetic procedures pushed without meaningful informed consent. A regulatory environment that lets the industry write its own rules. And underneath all of it, a culture telling women and girls that we are never enough as we are — that we need to be fixed, smoothed, tightened, lightened, lifted, and replaced.

Beauty Justice is my response.

It's a platform for the lawsuits exposing what the industry has done, the science behind women's health harms, the cultural standards driving demand for procedures and products that hurt us, and the alternatives I actually trust. I cover the cases. I cover the science. I cover the standards. And when there's a safer way, I share what I've found.
