🤣🤣🤣 do you know what “fair trade” coffee workers make 🤣🤣🤣 like a couple bucks for a giant bag of beans that have to be hand picked, soaked, dried, and bagged!!! All these workers in poor countries make jack squat! Heck even look at factories like the apple factory in China.. not just there but in Australia I met Europeans on gap year that we’re doing hard labor for things like banana farms and they were not nearly paid enough! And that’s a first world where the supposed minimum wage is fairly high- but farms don’t have to comply
@@KarolineThePagan in this video i learned to not complain i feel so bad for that kid who was on a corupted mine and she had a big scar and then i remembered that my mom had a scar like that i feel so sorry for them no one has a reason to dislike this video 😔😔😭😭😢😓
Dude...that subtitle is wrong..they don't even have a table..🥺 she just said "if she don't mine, how will she eat" ( basically how will they feed themselves) I feel really bad about it...

I own a soap company called Elemental Suds, and this video has inspired me to refuse using mica powder in my products. In the soaping industry, it's used to get specific colors in soap. Instead, I've taken a more natural approach. Thank you for spreading awareness of this problem.
😢Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😢😢

Toxic marketing... They only care about selling more and more of their products.... Not thinking a bit about its employees or its customers emotions.... Lives of children are on stake why ? Just a mere marketing. To sell more. To earn more. Toxic.
It's not that we don't "learn". It's that some schools are just there to earn money. If given proper attention, the below average students will be able to learn just as good as the toppers. I've had some teachers who gave the toppers extremely good care and acted very sweet to them. While teaching the average range students or below average students they acted like the students were torturing them even tho they remained silent for the entire class. Some students won't study at all and I know that but there's some fault in the educational system as well.
@@krishnaprasad1693I don't think they were referring to kids who get bad grades. I get the feeling that OP was more referring to people in western countries that have easy access to education but still insist on believing in nonsense and conspiracy theories like flat Earth, Young Earth Creationism, and vaccines causing autism. Or they could be referring to the growing idea (in the US at least) that post-secondary education is a waste of time and money.
" if we don't pick mica ,how would we put food on the table ?" Me : * on the floor crying my ass off spamming the share button to my friends and family* I'm donating some money , FUCK THAT MINING SHIT ESPECIALLY SINCE KIDS ARE DYING IN MINES EVERY MONTH !!!!!!!!!!!
As a 15 years old from Ranchi, Jharkhand I can say that in some districts of our state including few parts of ranchi, child labour is a big problem. Thank you so much for sharing this problem of our state at an international level.
@@reena6897 huh I said they want an education and in reality people that have educations aren’t grateful and the kids from over there would be grateful
The girl asked "If not mining mica what would you be doing today?" and the kids answered that they would be hungry. Normal kids would've answered "in school" or "playing" but that thought didn't even cross their minds just shows the weight and reality of the situation they're in.
I thought the same thing to myself. It didn’t even cross her mind to say ‘we’d be playing’ or anything else. She just knows that if she doesn’t work she’ll be hungry. It’s so sad.
I guess I'm just one of the different ones I live here in the United states myself, I grew up extremely poor and I was mentally, physically and sexually abused, I starved a lot growing up and was homeless. It was horrific but I overcame everything I'm a wonderful mother and wife, you can't let certain things, hold you back, no matter what happens in your life, these children are so sad and now I'm gonna be extremely mindful about everything that I use, but they're not starving to death. I know that sounds horrible, but I know what it feels like to starve it's incredibly painful until you don't feel it anymore. So even though I'm praying for these kids, and I don't want any of them to get hurt, I understand why it's happening oh it's wrong, no doubt, absolutely wrong, but at least they're not starving to death, and something needs to be done. It really does children, no matter what country they're in should never have to go hungry.
@@gazellerichardson9135 yes, we do choose to ignore it, I don't I grew up extremely poor, I was homeless a lot. I was physically, emotionally and sexually abused, we get starved a lot. It's incredibly painful. You wouldn't believe how painful it is unless you have starved yourself and I don't know if you have or not, I raised all of my siblings by myself to most of the time my parents weren't around, it was incredibly hard and I have overcome a lot, I didn't let my past define who I am, but it does happen here in the United states more than you realise a lot of people have no idea, just how bad it can be here to, but that's because we close our eyes to our fellow human beings in our own country, because we don't want to get involved, I try to get involved all the time, only reason I'm telling you, this is because I want you to realize, it's not just in other countries, it's in our own.
The irony here is that most of these kids are enrolled in government schools but their parents force them to work in mines instead of studying.The Indian government provides free education to children up to the tenth grade with free mid-day meals.The uniform,books and other facilities are all free.But these kids are enrolled in schools just to collect the amount the government gives each time a child passes a year.
My daughter asked me how makeup was made, because she and her mom have been watching Glow Up. Ive started by showing her this video, because I think its important for her to know where the ingredients come from. I am going to show her the rest of the process, which is no where near as bleak, but i hope when she grows up she will be a discerning makeup consumer!
"If we don't mine Mica, how will I put food on the table?" That's so sad that an 11 year old said that of all people. Instead of worrying about tea/drama we need to get a organization to help and protect these children and their families.
Madison Bynum : Organizations will not fix the problem. Red Cross, UNICEF, international rescue, and more have been around for long but they rarely solve the problems. There needs to be revolution in those country that can overthrow the corruption within the government. Lives will be lost but that’s the sacrifice needed to get a country to its goal.
We -- the consumers -- are the "organization." The issue is there because of our purchase decisions. It's a simple case of supply and demand. Companies truly listen to us by the choices we make and choose Not to make. If a product isn't selling, or if there's a build up in consumer disapproval about a product companies will make a positive change to increase their bottom line and restore their favorable image to their consumers. Only when we stand up and demand a change for ethics to be properly taken into account is when our voice is heard and action is taken to help those in need.
i am an indian girl who live in bihar just near jharkhand i am happy and sad at same time by seeing your video, that you are doing that much hard and risky things to aware people about the dark side of the big companies and sad because of this dark side but now we can see the changes. i am really in support of you.
When she asked them what they would have been doing if they weren't mining. For a minute I expected them to say playing. But an 11 year old said stay hungry and that breaks my heart
@@glynnisthomas9165 i think we in need to pressurize our govt. to wake up and do something about it. and the rest of the world needs to start asking for products with ethical sourcing. Dior can easily pay more then 50 cents a kilo for their mica!!!
On RUclips, search for (LOSING THE CROWN OVER VANITY) here is the link to the video ruclips.net/video/DFwDOzpOyjo/видео.html and hear a nine minutes testimony of a man called, feliciano lima who said that Jesus showed him a female Christian whose name is Fabiano Anastasia decosta.

Instead of promoting the met gala where people spend expensive outfits to wear for just one day, they should gather ideas in how to changes this madness, to use their platform and have people around the world pay attention.
Natalia Williams, “The Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.” That’s what I researched. Where does this fundraising go to? Who are they helping? My point is that society is literally paying attention to what they’re wearing, if you search met gala on RUclips, we see how many people are literally making videos, judging what celebrities wore instead of focusing on actually important things happening in society because it’s the only thing we are taught to focus on. We look up to these people no matter who they are, and what they do. Im not saying I’m not part of that circle, what I’m trying to say is if they know so many people around the world are watching this event to take some time to make important talks about what’s happening, even if they don’t contribute in funds. They have this amazing platform where their fans will actually listen.

I mean not really....Lush is completely hypocritical. Choosing to use a synthetic alternative doesn't solve the problem, it actually just leaves these kids hungry. They need this in order to survive. Companies should get involved and provide better wages and make sure these people have better work conditions, not just go to another source leaving all these people without money.
The crazy thing is, these makeup companies charge so much for makeup, only to send influencers on expensive trips for marketing. They should be using that money to pay more for the mica to prevent or lessen child labor; because they’re not using that money for profit anyway. I appreciate that Estée Lauder helped and they don’t have those influenced trips.
the beauty gurus that have their own brands wouldn’t profit from everyone knowing the fact that this is what happens to make their highlighters/etc. i guess :/
This is just horrific. My heart goes out to the family who's daughter died, & all the others who have lost loved ones.. Just awful. We really have nothing to complain about here in England
82Brightstar um ok but most education is free first of all and secondly you can still get a job that pays even without having qualifications and a criminal record. be more sincere considering you’re not in their lifestyle.
I too am ashamed to live in India but our state 'Punjab' is not that bad. Here you can go to any gurudwara(Sikh temple) in any village and get as much as food you want for free. And here education is free upto high school and they give all students food to eat in School.
@@simrankaurgill2305 Punjab is Punjab no other state of India could be like our Punjab. Because we follow the way of Sikhi. What our Gurus teached us. Yes in Punjab Government schools are free, and In schools poor children get free meals also. This is a slavery not a work. I never seen a such slavery in Punjab. In Punjab Sikh Farmers respect their workers like their family members. Punjab is blessed with the blessings of Guru's. This is the reason Punjab is always on the hit list of Indian govt.
People should stop supporting and buying from makeup companies that support child laborers and other well known ones like Victoria's secret. I stopped trying to buy from these companies due to the horrible quality and the known fact they use that type of service for their products. I'm against it all. I'm not mother Theresa but I dont believe in inhumanity against young developing children who could have better lives and not be abused doing it. It's considered evil to me.
The sound track that plays during 2:03 is an amazing selection, props to the editors and whoever chose this soundtrack/music for the video. You've got good ear.

@@hamstersdailylife4938 No, all fault of govt, they don't teach about contraceptive to villagers, the villagers don't have any education... People exploits these villagers, it is govt's job to take care of these people... But in the end it is non of my concern..
Solution is to pay enough to the adults and introduce health and safety standards so that no one is endangered and parents can feed their kids from their wages alone.
@@hamstersdailylife4938 don't be so narrow minded. What kind of privileged nonsense are you coming up with? What just because they're poor they can't have kids????

i emailed colourpop and they said their mica is sourced from europe, japan, and the US! There are also a lot of companies who are working on ethical mica sources.

As were sitting in our nice houses .. with wood floors... cars.. jewlery.. clothing.. these people are barley making a meal and working themselves to death. Wtf. Change is a must.
I’m so grateful for the lady who interviewed those beautiful children as well as all others. Thank you for shedding light on a very self serving racket. Your amazing
8 year olds lack survival skills if there should be a cave in. The thought turns my stomach. The answer isn't to stop buying the products. The goal is better conditions & higher wages.
I really had no idea this was a problem in the world. It disgusting how big companies will shamelessly exploit poor children. This is such an important video.
Anette Miltoft it’s not the big companies. It’s the middlemen between the children and the big companies that exploit the children just like in coffee bean harvesting. But nobody goes after the middlemen to pressure them to pay more to the children because these reporters are cowardly!
@@elsagrace3893 Companies know. Government closed down these mines due to environmental reason and that lead to illegal mining and children sent to mine. Somehow we export a lot more mica than the official legal mica mining. Government is not getting revenue from this mining. So yeah international companies must have a good idea that they are taking more mica than government sanctions and from whom they are buying it.
When the girl in the beginning said “Only if I study will I become something “ I felt so horrible cuz I know ppl who have absolutely no interest in education but are “forced to “ by their parents And then there’s kids like this
Bangtan Army I agree with you, but I also feel that when you do not get something in life, you realize its value more than something that is freely available to you...
So true. It's normal for people to complain about studying and school, everyone does that. But someone else out there wishes they can be in our position rather than being in child labour.
Woah, this is a truly insightful report, some food for thought. When I was a small kid, I used to collect mica pieces as a hobby. Those poor children who are in the mines for this 😢
You can't say you "felt that". She goes through tons of pain and fear on a daily basis and you're probably in the comfort of your house right now and are ungreatful.
@@cheddara.6329 No I just said that I am going to pay attention to it in the future.... And as the Video said there is mica in many Make Up products...

Thank you for taking out your time to dig deep into all of this. I have no words. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like that and all those deaths and families for a useless, luxury product like makeup and all those things being done hidden... : - I
It is not their responsability that's true but if you're on their position you'll probably also going to do the same such as robbers, most of them just rob not because they're evil..no, they are doing that because of their family, they're literally going to starve, like what will you do if you're on that kind of position? You're obviously going to be desperate.
@@MasMaszu2 Why should young kids do the work?? Of course when someone is desperate, they can do anything. But in this situation, these young kids are doing labor work the ADULTS should do, not them. It's unsafe and it's illegal as they said in the video.
@@MasMaszu2 I agree with your opinion I use to be one of them I had to work when I was 6 years old because we needed food even though It wasn't my responsibility.

Being an Indian I really feel frustrated that we needed a foreign media to reveal this dangerous side of mining industry in India.Indian media simply focuses on useless political drama.This is really an eye opener for a south Indian living far from these mining states..thanku
Actually I bet a lot of kids in especially western countries would rather work in such mines than keep going to their own schools. Yes, it is shocking idea, but I seriously doubt any of those mining children want to end their lives like their fellow kids trapped in physical and mental circle of torture elsewhere, which some people also call schooling.
@@JoJo-dj9ek don't assume anything which you don't know about. You have no clue about rural areas of South Asia. Insecurity and Depression don't exist here.

Apart from the obvious, it also shows they don't know much of anything outside the mining world. She didn't have anything else to answer with (if you're native you can understand it from the way she spoke). It really broke me to realise she was truly confused as to what possibilities and opportunities did the world have for her.

Thankyou so much Lexy for highlighting the downtrodden and hinterlands of our country globally. Being an Indian and that from jharkhand too, I got hurt and numb emotionally after seeing the situations of these children working in my nearby areas. This initiative of yours has also motivated us to do something for them. Thanks a lot once again. Vijeta here! From- Giridh, Jharkhand.
This is their parents responsiblity,not their kids,... Yes,they are poor,but why they have so many kids?? Bring them to this world to suffer?? Do anyone have the answers please? Thanks ...
Rosmin Oen Stupid people who don’t think with their head. If your pull out game is weak then do something else instead of bringing hella kids in this world just to suffer.
Uchiba Uki Unfortunately, in poor countries, birth control is a luxury that only the rich can afford. If you can’t afford to feed yourself, you’re not gonna want to feed an extra mouth but with no birth control or proper sex education, what can they do? It’s more the governments fault then the parents.
You're missing the bigger picture, Mica is used in a wide range of product including electronics. Social movements have a bad habit of narrowing the focus and losing the forest through the trees.
Mikaela Antonia Diaz Añago If the government got involved and set up a structure, so that it was safe and ethical, where only adults worked there. With the correct tools e.t.c It would take that community out of poverty. With the money they all would have a better standard of living and the children would go to school.
That's not the solution. If the industry stops using mica as a whole, then this villages would not even have the option of using Mica as an income source resulting in even more poverty. The solution will come from strict regulations and a fair trade between the villages and the consumers.
It is always the case with industry. Somebody or the nature is suffering. In this case the nature is actually not suffering as much as in heavy mining so this is better for the nature. It is just that the working conditions are dangerous and the work force is way too young to understand the risks.
If mica is their only way to survive in their remote area, and it is no longer in high demand, how will they survive? This breaks my heart, there needs to be a company that offers these families a real and practical alternative way to make money to eat and live. And let the children be just that, children who are protected and safe.
The saddest thing being the government doesn't do anything about it. The Indian Constitution LITERALLY has a constitutional right which goes against exploitation like this. But apparently, they couldn't give a fuck and instead be power hungry whilst their people remain HUNGRY.
I started reading about these mines when i started teaching myself about making safe soap for my daughters to use when i realized nearly everything on the shelf at the store has horrific ingredients..I realized early on that my future soaps may not be the prettiest, but they also will not have any chance of ingredients that kids died for anywhere in the world. This would be a great cause to try to help out with if i ever do make some money at it. If not at least i know what my kids put on their body is safe and 100% cruelty free and that will be good enough for me.
Hey I was reading this comment and I was wondering, what do u do for shampoo and conditioner? I was wanting to make my own soap as well but idk what to do for my hair.
@@graceshelton2982 There's so much free information online plus books at the public library. That's where I started. These days there's also so many DIY ideas and things. You'll find your way you just have to get started somewhere. There's obviously liquid shampoo, but there's also hair bars too.
If all the make up gurus on RUclips with their millions of followers can speak out about this, then RUclips would be able to finally do something that genuinely makes the world a better place.
Me too, this was enlightening and upsetting. That little girl saying “ if we don’t pick mica, how can we put food on the table”. And the family that had their daughter ,Laxmi , crushed when she was a teenager and her poor sister still has to mine. Wow so evil how they try to make it look like children never had anything to do with the mining!
When the girl said “If I study, only then I can do something.” I literally put my phone down and got back to studying (which I was supposed to be doing btw). I’m an indian too, and here’s a kid of wants it but doesn’t have it, and the million others who do not realise the value of what they have!
This type of content should be shown ... the actual reality!! Kudos . Mining actually scars lungs for life and specially at a young age its even more dangerouz .
Now THIS is journalism! THIS TOPIC should go viral. Something needs to change NOW! FAIR TRADE!! Get those children out of the mines and into schools. Let them know what "playing" means. I'm disgusted in the industry's actions- or lack thereof. I'm also disappointed in myself as a consumer for not being aware of this sooner. How many more people are living in similar conditions bc of unfair trade laws within the Western society?
I just watched another video on how important the color of your skin is to your success in India. You would think that helping children with education will elevate them out of poverty. Yet it's their skin color that is the ultimate barrier because they won't be hired. It was stunning to hear a young girl say, "I have the right education, grades, attire, but I will not be a good representative of the company," i.e. I am too dark. These children will never have a real chance in this country.
There’s probably someone out there who is actually mad at the parents for having so many kids and being so poor. People are going to procreate no matter what but these people were born into that world they don’t see a way out of it it’s like a blind spot and they need our help or else this shit is never gonna end
Heart wrenching video..children are risking their lives for just a glow on your face..Makeup and fashion industry are making million dollar and meanwhile these children are starving and make pennies to get a food. we need to create awareness and change buying behavior towards makeup.
you think they're risking their lives to happily give "people" make up. that's foolish. they don't even know what the use of mica is. literally, you missed the point.
I am so glad you bought this to light as it isn’t well known. Cruelty free should mean animals and people. It is awful these young children (and even adults) being exploited by corporations.
Mica isn't just used in makeup. It's used in many everyday things that pretty much everyone uses: Uses of Ground Mica Ground mica is used in gypsum wallboard as a wadding to remove its imperfections and enhance its work ability. It is used in paints to improve their quality and add shine. It is added to plastic products to strengthen their mechanical properties. It is added to rubber products like tires, as it can serve as an anti-sticking agent. Ground mica is added to make-up products like eyeliners, mascara, nail polish, lipstick, foundation, etc., as it can lend them luster. Uses of Sheet Mica Mica can be beaten into thin sheets. These sheets are useful in electrical appliances because of their dielectric, insulating, and heat-tolerating properties. They are used in: heating appliances like hot plates, soldering irons, etc. control devices like regulators, resistance boxes, pyrometers, etc. lighting equipment like neon lights, incandescent lamps, etc. This isn't just a makeup issue. It's everybody's issue.
I agree but the headline about makeup gets more clicks. Could you imagine if the headline mentioned rubber. I don't think it would have the same impact.
It's the automotive industry. Makeup companies have shown support and interest, but so far, notone automotive company... I guess no one cares about where car paint and parts come from...

it's got nothing to do with the government. it's just the reality of capitalism. when it comes to these multinational companies they will try to get as cheap as labor as possible. this is the result
'cruelty free' should not only mean cruelty against animals but child labour as well.
EXACTLY
I highly agree
xfudgex well said
@Nefertiti you're right. It's sickening
I said the same thing, cruelty free my butt, animals are nothing compared to children
"If you didn't have to mine, what would you be doing today?"
"We would stay hungry"
That broke my heart
Sad truth of capitalist world
Dude I started crying when she said that
I teared up hard
😭
It's reality 💔. And unexpected truth.
Now this, *THIS* is the thing that RUclips should be putting on the Trending tab, not expose or apology videos.
True
ikr people dont really give a fuck and some business people covered this kind of case
agree.
yessssssssssss
Lets make this trending
“I saw a kid’s head split open.”
…honestly, I don’t know what to say anymore..
I hope that kid will rest in peace. 🕊
Well the exact translation would be "a cut on the forehead"
damn imagine a kid to a kid seeing them in that situation is just so💔
Same goes with cocoa farmers. Most of them don't even know what Chocolate tastes like. They get low wages as well. The world is so corrupted.
🤣🤣🤣 do you know what “fair trade” coffee workers make 🤣🤣🤣 like a couple bucks for a giant bag of beans that have to be hand picked, soaked, dried, and bagged!!! All these workers in poor countries make jack squat! Heck even look at factories like the apple factory in China.. not just there but in Australia I met Europeans on gap year that we’re doing hard labor for things like banana farms and they were not nearly paid enough! And that’s a first world where the supposed minimum wage is fairly high- but farms don’t have to comply
Don't know about countries but India has a serious corruption issue like this in every state.
I finally understand what fairtrade is actually about, and what fights!!!
PokeMe
That’s the “beauty” of what most countries call capitalism.
Not really. In my country, the farmers produce cocoa and they can taste the chocolates they made ^-^ idk, probably coz cacaos are abundant in here...
The saddest words I've ever heard was, "If I don't mine mica, how will I put food on the table?" I'm going to cry
Nardose Mengesha Ah don’t cry!
@@KarolineThePagan in this video i learned to not complain i feel so bad for that kid who was on a corupted mine and she had a big scar and then i remembered that my mom had a scar like that i feel so sorry for them no one has a reason to dislike this video 😔😔😭😭😢😓
Dude...that subtitle is wrong..they don't even have a table..🥺 she just said "if she don't mine, how will she eat" ( basically how will they feed themselves) I feel really bad about it...

I own a soap company called Elemental Suds, and this video has inspired me to refuse using mica powder in my products. In the soaping industry, it's used to get specific colors in soap. Instead, I've taken a more natural approach.

😢Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😢😢
Amazing, wish more companies did actual research and put these things into consideration its unfortunate we live in such a capitalist society :c
How contact with you？
@@Joanchris-n8p You can always Google Elemental Suds and go to the Contact page.

Why RUclips can't put this on trending.This needs to be known by all.
because people dont care enough. you hear plenty of story of how kids starve here and there, but once they watch it then forgotten about.

One of the big factors could be it isn't advertiser friendly. Which I call bullshit since this should get out and is a serious problem

"I just want an education"
While, people who got the chances to learn never learn... Hard reality of this world..
@Kashif no
It's not that we don't "learn". It's that some schools are just there to earn money. If given proper attention, the below average students will be able to learn just as good as the toppers. I've had some teachers who gave the toppers extremely good care and acted very sweet to them. While teaching the average range students or below average students they acted like the students were torturing them even tho they remained silent for the entire class.
Some students won't study at all and I know that but there's some fault in the educational system as well.
@@krishnaprasad1693 yes n dis truth peoples dnt undrstnd my school (bangladesh international school and collage jeddah) is 1 of the worsr school.
miserable reality
@@krishnaprasad1693I don't think they were referring to kids who get bad grades. I get the feeling that OP was more referring to people in western countries that have easy access to education but still insist on believing in nonsense and conspiracy theories like flat Earth, Young Earth Creationism, and vaccines causing autism. Or they could be referring to the growing idea (in the US at least) that post-secondary education is a waste of time and money.
"If we don't pick mica, how will we put food on the table?"
broke my heart, dropped crying
And I complain about little things like having my phone taken away for a day or not having Wi-Fi connection. These kids deserve a better life
No child should have to utter a statement about not having food to eat...

@@reena6897 huh I said they want an education and in reality people that have educations aren’t grateful and the kids from over there would be grateful
Greta thunberg has entered the chat
The girl asked "If not mining mica what would you be doing today?" and the kids answered that they would be hungry. Normal kids would've answered "in school" or "playing" but that thought didn't even cross their minds just shows the weight and reality of the situation they're in.
Thats sad i just wish other kids would take an example
I thought the same thing to myself. It didn’t even cross her mind to say ‘we’d be playing’ or anything else. She just knows that if she doesn’t work she’ll be hungry. It’s so sad.
Normal kids in America, the West. Not the reality in places in the world. But we chose not to know, to ignore it, 😢.
I guess I'm just one of the different ones I live here in the United states myself, I grew up extremely poor and I was mentally, physically and sexually abused, I starved a lot growing up and was homeless. It was horrific but I overcame everything I'm a wonderful mother and wife, you can't let certain things, hold you back, no matter what happens in your life, these children are so sad and now I'm gonna be extremely mindful about everything that I use, but they're not starving to death. I know that sounds horrible, but I know what it feels like to starve it's incredibly painful until you don't feel it anymore. So even though I'm praying for these kids, and I don't want any of them to get hurt, I understand why it's happening oh it's wrong, no doubt, absolutely wrong, but at least they're not starving to death, and something needs to be done. It really does children, no matter what country they're in should never have to go hungry.
@@gazellerichardson9135 yes, we do choose to ignore it, I don't I grew up extremely poor, I was homeless a lot. I was physically, emotionally and sexually abused, we get starved a lot. It's incredibly painful. You wouldn't believe how painful it is unless you have starved yourself and I don't know if you have or not, I raised all of my siblings by myself to most of the time my parents weren't around, it was incredibly hard and I have overcome a lot, I didn't let my past define who I am, but it does happen here in the United states more than you realise a lot of people have no idea, just how bad it can be here to, but that's because we close our eyes to our fellow human beings in our own country, because we don't want to get involved, I try to get involved all the time, only reason I'm telling you, this is because I want you to realize, it's not just in other countries, it's in our own.

"I just want an education"
DAMN that hit hard
U'r Right
The irony here is that most of these kids are enrolled in government schools but their parents force them to work in mines instead of studying.The Indian government provides free education to children up to the tenth grade with free mid-day meals.The uniform,books and other facilities are all free.But these kids are enrolled in schools just to collect the amount the government gives each time a child passes a year.
The Toon Station did u hear them saying they weren't forced by their parents but because they need to work to feed themselves
And idiots are like "school sucks, they don't teach me anything"
i know and kids in school don’t accreprite it
My daughter asked me how makeup was made, because she and her mom have been watching Glow Up. Ive started by showing her this video, because I think its important for her to know where the ingredients come from. I am going to show her the rest of the process, which is no where near as bleak, but i hope when she grows up she will be a discerning makeup consumer!
sometimes i realise how lucky i am to have food infront of me
to have a house to live in
to have good education

@Good Boy umm no what makeup are you using? Counterfeits? Sorry but I only use trusted brands that doesn't have child labouring
"If we don't mine Mica, how will I put food on the table?" That's so sad that an 11 year old said that of all people. Instead of worrying about tea/drama we need to get a organization to help and protect these children and their families.
Madison Bynum : Organizations will not fix the problem.
Red Cross, UNICEF, international rescue, and more have been around for long but they rarely solve the problems.
There needs to be revolution in those country that can overthrow the corruption within the government. Lives will be lost but that’s the sacrifice needed to get a country to its goal.
We -- the consumers -- are the "organization." The issue is there because of our purchase decisions. It's a simple case of supply and demand. Companies truly listen to us by the choices we make and choose Not to make. If a product isn't selling, or if there's a build up in consumer disapproval about a product companies will make a positive change to increase their bottom line and restore their favorable image to their consumers. Only when we stand up and demand a change for ethics to be properly taken into account is when our voice is heard and action is taken to help those in need.

When she asked them what they would have been doing if they weren't mining. For a minute I expected them to say playing. But an 11 year old said stay hungry and that breaks my heart
So... buy more makeup? This is really a problem and the answer seems unclear.
@@glynnisthomas9165 i think we in need to pressurize our govt. to wake up and do something about it. and the rest of the world needs to start asking for products with ethical sourcing. Dior can easily pay more then 50 cents a kilo for their mica!!!
There’s a way to donate in the information on the video. The organization works towards making changes in the governments, the child labor laws, etc.
On RUclips, search for (LOSING THE CROWN OVER VANITY) here is the link to the video ruclips.net/video/DFwDOzpOyjo/видео.html and hear a nine minutes testimony of a man called, feliciano lima who said that Jesus showed him a female Christian whose name is Fabiano Anastasia decosta. Who failed to make it into heaven after death because while she was on earth, she failed to separate herself from outward andornment, vanity and makeup.
Watch the entire testimony for more.
Even we stop buy, its cant be solve problem. These just like branch. Even u cut they will keep grwing..
Instead of promoting the met gala where people spend expensive outfits to wear for just one day, they should gather ideas in how to changes this madness, to use their platform and have people around the world pay attention.

The MET Gala is a Charity event.
@@nataliawilliams5365 haha we call it charity but they dont care if it is charity or not they only care to be shown. thats a sad truth
Genesis Castro they wont cuz that will be not beneficial for them . 💔
Natalia Williams, “The Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.” That’s what I researched. Where does this fundraising go to? Who are they helping? My point is that society is literally paying attention to what they’re wearing, if you search met gala on RUclips, we see how many people are literally making videos, judging what celebrities wore instead of focusing on actually important things happening in society because it’s the only thing we are taught to focus on. We look up to these people no matter who they are, and what they do. Im not saying I’m not part of that circle, what I’m trying to say is if they know so many people around the world are watching this event to take some time to make important talks about what’s happening, even if they don’t contribute in funds. They have this amazing platform where their fans will actually listen.
Imagine putting something on your face everyday, without knowing that you're actually putting a child's blood, sweat and tears on your face too.
Not to mention the influencers who constantly buy trendy products just to use them once, forget about them, then throw them out.

Maria Francisca I’m a dude with three younger sisters and they will be hearing about LUSH from me.

Maria Francisca but if we pursue LUSH... would that leave these children starving!?!? The world is very complicated.
The crazy thing is, these makeup companies charge so much for makeup, only to send influencers on expensive trips for marketing. They should be using that money to pay more for the mica to prevent or lessen child labor; because they’re not using that money for profit anyway. I appreciate that Estée Lauder helped and they don’t have those influenced trips.

I too am ashamed to live in India but our state 'Punjab' is not that bad. Here you can go to any gurudwara(Sikh temple) in any village and get as much as food you want for free. And here education is free upto high school and they give all students food to eat in School.
@@simrankaurgill2305 Punjab is Punjab no other state of India could be like our Punjab. Because we follow the way of Sikhi. What our Gurus teached us.
Yes in Punjab Government schools are free, and In schools poor children get free meals also.

I don’t think they really have a choice if they’re gonna risk their life for it, the children.
When you live in a 3rd world country or are poor, you have very little options of choosing a job.
People should stop supporting and buying from makeup companies that support child laborers and other well known ones like Victoria's secret. I stopped trying to buy from these companies due to the horrible quality and the known fact they use that type of service for their products. I'm against it all.

As an Indian 🇮🇳 I thank you for bringing out this harsh reality out. It is the result of corrupt governments that rules India since Independence.
Someone needs to prioritize these children's welfare and health.
People do and it’s starting to make a difference in some villages
@CoolChannel Name hey listen.. wid ur words i feel like u dont get the point.. here if we dont protest about it or even speak out NOONE IS GOING TO THINK ABOUT IT OR EVEN PUT THEIR ACTIONS!!
Frances Saelua all the exploitation of natural resources and low pay of workers is for the benefit of the rich it seems.
Give me your 100 IQ phone so i can call donald trump
No one cares in india. There are other issues like temple-mosque etc. that govt. and media actually care.
I can never look at my highlighters the same every again
Cat same
i emailed colourpop and they said their mica is sourced from europe, japan, and the US!
There are also a lot of companies who are working on ethical mica sources.
The following brands are part of the Responsible Mica Initiative
- burt’s bees
- l’oréal companies
--- which includes --- urban decay, maybelline, essie, nyx
- estée lauder companies
--- which includes ---bobbi brown, becca, smashbox, mac, tom ford beauty, and too faced
- coty
- shiseido (i’m not sure if that includes the brands: nars, bare minerals, laura mercier)
- the body shop
- sephora collection
Solie Kang Fenty Beauty ?
Cat checked mine and thank God it didn’t have any but I can only imagine how many brands use it
Mica is used in many things... It's not in just make-up.
And these kids still manage to have a smile on their face.. god bless them
Ikr bless them souls 🖤🙏
Stop buying makeup then they’ll really be happy
As were sitting in our nice houses .. with wood floors... cars.. jewlery.. clothing.. these people are barley making a meal and working themselves to death. Wtf. Change is a must.
Random person not really, the sad thing is without work they won’t have money to buy food
Wild Rose they will because they wont have to work in these not save conditions and risk there lifes
I’m so grateful for the lady who interviewed those beautiful children as well as all others. Thank you for shedding light on a very self serving racket. Your amazing
imagine how painful it might be loosing someone you love in a mine and you still have to go there because you have no choice
sam hassan 😭😭😭
Losing
You have a choice because you can just run away!!!
I hate my life But then you can’t get money and you’ll die of hunger
8 year olds lack survival skills if there should be a cave in. The thought turns my stomach. The answer isn't to stop buying the products. The goal is better conditions & higher wages.
I really had no idea this was a problem in the world. It disgusting how big companies will shamelessly exploit poor children. This is such an important video.
+anettemiltoft We're so glad you think so!
Anette Miltoft it’s not the big companies. It’s the middlemen between the children and the big companies that exploit the children just like in coffee bean harvesting. But nobody goes after the middlemen to pressure them to pay more to the children because these reporters are cowardly!
Also government in india should be doing more
@@elsagrace3893 Companies know. Government closed down these mines due to environmental reason and that lead to illegal mining and children sent to mine. Somehow we export a lot more mica than the official legal mica mining. Government is not getting revenue from this mining. So yeah international companies must have a good idea that they are taking more mica than government sanctions and from whom they are buying it.
People who live in their luxury towers and large cooperate bulidng can't hear the cries of the weary from their towers of dirt.
When the girl in the beginning said
“Only if I study will I become something “
I felt so horrible cuz I know ppl who have absolutely no interest in education but are “forced to “ by their parents
And then there’s kids like this
My mom always reminded me of this growing up, and I truly appreciated my education.
Ikr 😥
Well an army too 😊
Bangtan Army I agree with you, but I also feel that when you do not get something in life, you realize its value more than something that is freely available to you...
So true. It's normal for people to complain about studying and school, everyone does that. But someone else out there wishes they can be in our position rather than being in child labour.
Bangtan Army nigga stfu, they still have a cast system unlike America
Woah, this is a truly insightful report, some food for thought. When I was a small kid, I used to collect mica pieces as a hobby. Those poor children who are in the mines for this 😢
Th way the girl talked, her voice was full of the pain she suffered at such a young age. I felt that
Love your profile pic
You can tell she experienced a lot of trauma and pain. I'm glad she was able to leave the mines and work towards an education.
Yeah, it’s heart breaking.
@@cocopecan only if the government stops corruption...we Indians are ready to do anything..only if government approves..I can do something
You can't say you "felt that". She goes through tons of pain and fear on a daily basis and you're probably in the comfort of your house right now and are ungreatful.
This is horrific. Children die for a Glow on our face. I am definitely going to change my behaviour towards buying Make up. Thank you!
Soph Wurz Me too. This broke my heart.
Same here...im frozen and pretty much in tears
Smh u act like every single makeup product has mica in it
@@cheddara.6329 No I just said that I am going to pay attention to it in the future.... And as the Video said there is mica in many Make Up products...
@@cheddara.6329 no one said that...
Please share this until the "Beauty Gurus" see it. They are the ones that can pressure brands to make a change.
Ndeye Faye we need jeffree star to speak
Show it to TATI because she's kind😊lol
beauty gurus mostly use vegan/cruelty free make up brands, but nothing will be done if you just tell the gurus XD they care more about drama than some hard working kids in another country
Lol it’s funny you think they can do anything or that they’d want to.
Stanley Bahoyan I actually believe Jeffree would do something about it not just make it about drama.
Thank you for taking out your time to dig deep into all of this. I have no words. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like that and all those deaths and families for a useless, luxury product like makeup and all those things being done hidden... : - I
When she said how will we put food on the table? 😭 baby it’s not your responsibility. That broke my heart.
It is not their responsability that's true but if you're on their position you'll probably also going to do the same such as robbers, most of them just rob not because they're evil..no, they are doing that because of their family, they're literally going to starve, like what will you do if you're on that kind of position? You're obviously going to be desperate.
@@MasMaszu2 Why should young kids do the work?? Of course when someone is desperate, they can do anything. But in this situation, these young kids are doing labor work the ADULTS should do, not them. It's unsafe and it's illegal as they said in the video.
@@MasMaszu2 I agree with your opinion I use to be one of them I had to work when I was 6 years old because we needed food even though It wasn't my responsibility. I had to survive I'd rather work than starve to death. But now someone adopted me from America so I was saved right now I have a step -dad and a step-mom :D
@@fairylily6602 I never said or i wasn't trying to say that children should work, i just replied with my own prospective about the topic.
@@MasMaszu2 If that was your intention then it's fine!
Being an Indian I really feel frustrated that we needed a foreign media to reveal this dangerous side of mining industry in India.Indian media simply focuses on useless political drama.This is really an eye opener for a south Indian living far from these mining states..thanku
Hi bro
Actually I bet a lot of kids in especially western countries would rather work in such mines than keep going to their own schools.
Yes, it is shocking idea, but I seriously doubt any of those mining children want to end their lives like their fellow kids trapped in physical and mental circle of torture elsewhere, which some people also call schooling.
@@JoJo-dj9ek oh no school sucks oh I'm so edgy I say school suck I'm depressed I want to kill myself, am I edgy yet? Am I edgy yet???
@@JoJo-dj9ek don't assume anything which you don't know about. You have no clue about rural areas of South Asia. Insecurity and Depression don't exist here. Because , the life people lead here can hardly call life. Your most basic human needs are not guaranteed. So having emotion and knowledge is luxury.
Same here bro.i thinks kids have a better life in kerala
“If you weren’t mining, what would you do today?”
“We would be hungry.”
Gosh, that hit way too hard.
That part breaks me
Apart from the obvious, it also shows they don't know much of anything outside the mining world. She didn't have anything else to answer with (if you're native you can understand it from the way she spoke). It really broke me to realise she was truly confused as to what possibilities and opportunities did the world have for her.
Man they remind me of my dad. He can’t read good and stutters while reading because he dropped out of school at 8. He spent his childhood mining and transporting limestone and silver down mountains. But at least he had a basic education.
Its a fact
@@thatsnotverynice6936 man my dad did something but I forgot but all I remember it was somewhere in Mexico and he dropped out at 7 and somehow went to high school and pass and me here complaining about high school with my lazy ass
Thankyou so much Lexy for highlighting the downtrodden and hinterlands of our country globally. Being an Indian and that from jharkhand too, I got hurt and numb emotionally after seeing the situations of these children working in my nearby areas. This initiative of yours has also motivated us to do something for them. Thanks a lot once again.
Vijeta here!

My heart dropped when she said “if we don’t pick micha, how will we put food on the table” 😢
😭😢😭😢😭😢
No they translated wrongly, she said if we will not go inside that caves the hunger will kill us
This is their parents responsiblity,not their kids,...
Yes,they are poor,but why they have so many kids?? Bring them to this world to suffer?? Do anyone have the answers please? Thanks ...
Rosmin Oen Stupid people who don’t think with their head. If your pull out game is weak then do something else instead of bringing hella kids in this world just to suffer.
Stop being a baby they are just faking it🙄🙄🙄🙄
"and i saw a kid's head split open" i can tell on how she speaks that she is traumatized 😞
"debris fell on a kid and he was killed"
Im crying noo!!
THESE POOR KIDS!!! 😭😭😭
Karl gregory mendoza 12
I’m not crying
;-;
Totally...
It’s just someone was cutting onions
It makes me sick amican government is greedy and always has been
Poor kids they parents shouldn’t let them go there ! Birth control pills are needed to stop selfish parents to born so many children 😞
Uchiba Uki Unfortunately, in poor countries, birth control is a luxury that only the rich can afford. If you can’t afford to feed yourself, you’re not gonna want to feed an extra mouth but with no birth control or proper sex education, what can they do? It’s more the governments fault then the parents.
People should definitely avoid a shimmering glow on their face and choose a shimmering glow on childrens smiles.
You're missing the bigger picture, Mica is used in a wide range of product including electronics. Social movements have a bad habit of narrowing the focus and losing the forest through the trees.
Mikaela Antonia Diaz Añago If the government got involved and set up a structure, so that it was safe and ethical, where only adults worked there. With the correct tools e.t.c It would take that community out of poverty. With the money they all would have a better standard of living and the children would go to school.
That's not the solution. If the industry stops using mica as a whole, then this villages would not even have the option of using Mica as an income source resulting in even more poverty.
The solution will come from strict regulations and a fair trade between the villages and the consumers.
@@clairem3323 True, cause people will not give up shimmer or satin for exclusively matte, so that's the only way. Tight regulations on that industry.
You are all missing the picture. This work gives them money! U heard them, if they didnt work they would go hungry!
These beautiful babies deserve so much more than this, as do their parents. 💔
Every Make-up RUclipsr needs to watch this.
It is always the case with industry. Somebody or the nature is suffering.
In this case the nature is actually not suffering as much as in heavy mining so this is better for the nature. It is just that the working conditions are dangerous and the work force is way too young to understand the risks.
They wouldn't care, why would they? It doesn't affect them, they can spout anything they want but would not do anything.
They need to start endorsing cruelty free products
Yes
yes, I'm...
thankyou...
this made me cry. i love how lush is making sure no one dies just for makeup.
avr other companies should do it too 😭
If mica is their only way to survive in their remote area, and it is no longer in high demand, how will they survive? This breaks my heart, there needs to be a company that offers these families a real and practical alternative way to make money to eat and live. And let the children be just that, children who are protected and safe.
123
I completely agree! I am becoming more aware of everything that is going on.
But then if all companies do that, then how will these families live??
Empty stomachs with shimmer between their toes. Living in poverty and exploitation while walking on the shiniest dirt.
venus. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
it really brings out the privilege we have
That's a good comment
Your right... life can be so cruel
The saddest thing being the government doesn't do anything about it. The Indian Constitution LITERALLY has a constitutional right which goes against exploitation like this. But apparently, they couldn't give a fuck and instead be power hungry whilst their people remain HUNGRY.
I started reading about these mines when i started teaching myself about making safe soap for my daughters to use when i realized nearly everything on the shelf at the store has horrific ingredients..I realized early on that my future soaps may not be the prettiest, but they also will not have any chance of ingredients that kids died for anywhere in the world. This would be a great cause to try to help out with if i ever do make some money at it. If not at least i know what my kids put on their body is safe and 100% cruelty free and that will be good enough for me.
Hey I was reading this comment and I was wondering, what do u do for shampoo and conditioner? I was wanting to make my own soap as well but idk what to do for my hair.
@@graceshelton2982 There's so much free information online plus books at the public library. That's where I started. These days there's also so many DIY ideas and things. You'll find your way you just have to get started somewhere. There's obviously liquid shampoo, but there's also hair bars too.
If all the make up gurus on RUclips with their millions of followers can speak out about this, then RUclips would be able to finally do something that genuinely makes the world a better place.
They won't do any of that because the beauty companies pay them
Kenshin Ken amen!
Xctly but this is not gona happen
@@akzidenz9999 the irony.
Definitely
Please don't stop this Shady series! It's so well-made and educational.
Me too, this was enlightening and upsetting. That little girl saying “ if we don’t pick mica, how can we put food on the table”. And the family that had their daughter ,Laxmi , crushed when she was a teenager and her poor sister still has to mine. Wow so evil how they try to make it look like children never had anything to do with the mining!
@@stacyhaynes4832 so sad😢...children deserves a better unharm future.......
We should shoot every one in the company to protect the kids
When the girl said “If I study, only then I can do something.” I literally put my phone down and got back to studying (which I was supposed to be doing btw). I’m an indian too, and here’s a kid of wants it but doesn’t have it, and the million others who do not realise the value of what they have!
So you came back to comment
Bob Loaf The Cat Loll 😂 I really expected this! Well, yah, I came back to comment 😁
Same
Even though we do have free education in India, either the parents don't want them to pursue or the village's head restricts them 😔 a very sad fact
@@justanotheridiot0 curious to know why would village heads restrict them?
This type of content should be shown ... the actual reality!! Kudos . Mining actually scars lungs for life and specially at a young age its even more dangerouz .
Now THIS is journalism! THIS TOPIC should go viral. Something needs to change NOW! FAIR TRADE!! Get those children out of the mines and into schools. Let them know what "playing" means. I'm disgusted in the industry's actions- or lack thereof. I'm also disappointed in myself as a consumer for not being aware of this sooner. How many more people are living in similar conditions bc of unfair trade laws within the Western society?
How's life there compared to india like
Please RUclips make this viral. Issues like this need more attention
I'm with you😑

I hope that that girl, a jurnalist, gave those children some money. Can you imagine that happynes...
I just watched another video on how important the color of your skin is to your success in India. You would think that helping children with education will elevate them out of poverty. Yet it's their skin color that is the ultimate barrier because they won't be hired. It was stunning to hear a young girl say, "I have the right education, grades, attire, but I will not be a good representative of the company," i.e. I am too dark. These children will never have a real chance in this country.
Wow I'm just learning so much reading comments I did not know this so so heartbreaking
10-20 deaths every month? Gosh breaks my heart 😭😭😭😭
I almost cried as a mom of 4 just so heartbreaking i cant imagine loss of a child life would be so painful
"If you didnt have to mine today, what would you be doing?"
"Staying hungry."
That broke my heart.

@@sexyfacewitch solutions for the parents to earn money so the children don't work need to be found. Just closing the mines doesn't solve the problem
You left a bunch of space between sentences. Why not edit that?
This hurts to watch.
I'm not even mad at the parents
My heart aches for them and their family
Ya cause if the parents only work... Less money... So they will starve and feed the children... And then they become weak.... more problem.
There’s probably someone out there who is actually mad at the parents for having so many kids and being so poor. People are going to procreate no matter what but these people were born into that world they don’t see a way out of it it’s like a blind spot and they need our help or else this shit is never gonna end
BUT WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?
It is our governments, and multi-gazillion industries.
When we but makeup ask where it comes from...we are the problem...we are the consumer's. If we stop consuming, then it all stops.
Heart wrenching video..children are risking their lives for just a glow on your face..Makeup and fashion industry are making million dollar and meanwhile these children are starving and make pennies to get a food. we need to create awareness and change buying behavior towards makeup.

Makeup expires that's why people destroy their makeup.
you think they're risking their lives to happily give "people" make up. that's foolish. they don't even know what the use of mica is. literally, you missed the point.

I am so glad you bought this to light as it isn’t well known. Cruelty free should mean animals and people. It is awful these young children (and even adults) being exploited by corporations.
Mica isn't just used in makeup. It's used in many everyday things that pretty much everyone uses:
Uses of Ground Mica
Ground mica is used in gypsum wallboard as a wadding to remove its imperfections and enhance its work ability.
It is used in paints to improve their quality and add shine.
It is added to plastic products to strengthen their mechanical properties.
It is added to rubber products like tires, as it can serve as an anti-sticking agent.
Ground mica is added to make-up products like eyeliners, mascara, nail polish, lipstick, foundation, etc., as it can lend them luster.
Uses of Sheet Mica
Mica can be beaten into thin sheets. These sheets are useful in electrical appliances because of their dielectric, insulating, and heat-tolerating properties. They are used in:
heating appliances like hot plates, soldering irons, etc.
control devices like regulators, resistance boxes, pyrometers, etc.
lighting equipment like neon lights, incandescent lamps, etc.
This isn't just a makeup issue. It's everybody's issue.
I agree but the headline about makeup gets more clicks. Could you imagine if the headline mentioned rubber. I don't think it would have the same impact.
+kittenwiskerz Thanks for sharing! We think so, too!
Facts! !
It's the automotive industry. Makeup companies have shown support and interest, but so far, notone automotive company... I guess no one cares about where car paint and parts come from...
Preach
I’m sorry but everyone who uses makeup needs to see this.
Edit: WOAH woah, 2k frigging likes? The highest I’ve gotten is 80 ty all sm!!!!! ❤️
And if you have any, don't throw it out. Just stop buying it

it's got nothing to do with the government. it's just the reality of capitalism. when it comes to these multinational companies they will try to get as cheap as labor as possible. this is the result
This should go trending. Every person in this world should be aware of this issue.
