HBO Max’s ‘Not So Pretty’ exposes the beauty industry’s dangers

Not So Pretty is a four-part docu-series by HBO Max which delves into the harm certain beauty products can do to its users. With Keke Palmer narrating the show, it exposes the secrets of the cosmetics and personal care industries, which are only loosely regulated at best, with little power to enforce changes from the FDA. The four episodes cover a wide range of topics, makeup, nails, skin, and hair. Each one focuses on just one or two products to demonstrate how pervasive the issues are and how large corporations try to keep the truth from getting out.
