This is my favorite nano-news. My dad clued me in when I axed him about nanotech. Apparently cosmetics companies have started using nanotechnology. Because their products are not FDA regulated, they can do it sans clinical trials. So what happens is, you put a magical never comes off foundation, and guess what? 1.) it literally never comes off, because they use interlocking molecules in it, and 2.) the particles sink into your bloodstream and wreak havoc on your various systems. Like that one Batman movie! Only not so dramatic.

It is difficult to overstate the potential magnitude of this challenge," said Lauren Compere, director of shareholder advocacy at Boston Common Asset Management, which has introduced shareholder resolutions on safer cosmetics at CVS Corporation."
