Acid burn survivor sees what goes into this beauty ingredient

After being randomly attacked with acid on her 21st birthday, Resh felt like she lost her appearance. Using make-up has helped her "bring that back". Now she is exploring with three others the hidden impact of the beauty industry.

Resh and Casey travel to rural Mexico to investigate how a vegan and so-called ‘ethical’ product, Candelilla wax, is made. They are shocked to learn that acid is used in the production, with apparently no concern for the workers' welfare.
