Hi, I’m Whitney

I'm an attorney, an advocate, and the founder of Beauty Justice, where I cover the toxic beauty industry and the lawsuits women need to know about.

For years I represented women dying of cancers they got from products they never thought to question, like talcum powder, talc-based makeup, and baby powder dusted on their kids every morning. Their lawsuits sent me looking at my own bathroom counter, and once I started looking, I couldn't unsee what was there: highly unregulated products full of ingredients linked to scary health concerns. And it wasn't just the products. It was the procedures too, like Botox, fillers, and lasers. A whole industry built on convincing women we need to be fixed.

It's a system that makes money convincing us we aren't enough: products with almost no real safety testing, regulations the industry basically writes itself, and a culture that reminds us every day that we fall short.

I love to feel beautiful. I just don't think beauty should be dangerous. We all deserve real informed consent before we buy a product or book a procedure, so we can weigh the risk against the reward.
