Another crooked industry.

Yes, and an incredibly lucrative industry ('beauty' products categorically). The amount of money spent on cremes, lotions, 'serums', misting devices, laser devices, make-up, and hair products is astronomical - and most of these don't do squat.

Headline makes it sound like the companies are hiring children, but, apparently, it’s the pickers themselves who are employing their own children.

FTA: Industry insiders told us the handful of companies that own many luxury brands are squeezing budgets, resulting in very low pay. Egyptian jasmine pickers say this forces them to involve their children.

Copied: Certain human-made products contain chemical compounds called xenoestrogens, which imitate estrogen in the body.

Which means they're bad for men. Even perfumed dryer sheets/softeners. ANY man-made scent is to be avoided.
