Witch Makeup is Safe for Ghouls & Boys?

 

Description:

Halloween is spooky enough without having to worry about toxic chemicals in your hair & makeup.  To cure this haunting feeling the Green Docs talk with Sonya Talamantes, a professional makeup artist of 20 years, to uncover which types of makeup are best for you and your kids to stay blemish and toxic-free while getting into character, or even just getting out the door each morning.  You’ll get practical, professional advice along with helpful apps and DIY recipes for children’s face paint to avoid those ghastly heavy metals.

 

Nate and Bruce recap the latest headlines: France ensures that all new buildings will be equipped with green roofing; fun-flation is coming to a concert near you – if you can afford it; and red dye #3 of Cheetos neon-glow infamy gets banned in California.  Nate relays news from Paris about a new toxicity screening for prenatal vitamins, and Bruce tests a Japanese technique for getting the most from your record player.  Tune in for this Halloween episode that promises less tricks, more treats.
