The most frequent question I hear for people wanting to switch out from toxic over the counter makeup, hair care and skin care is HOW? What ingredients should I begin to look for and avoid?
In this crazy toxic planet of ours Beauty products are some of the most toxic. We apply them to our skin (which breathes) our hair (hairspray being one of the worst!) because it is inhaled into our lungs and imagine how sticky that can be, and shampoos/ conditioners and foundations. Lipstick is chock full of chemicals and you will eat those off by noon. Toothpastes are another direct hit for the body.
So what's a girl to do?
Begin to swap
Look at your current products and if you see these ingredients THROW THEM OUT! They are KNOWN carcinogens and are still allowed in our everyday life. YOU MUST protect yourself and the health of your babies.
FORMALDEHYDE is hidden in preservatives and slowly released. It is found most often under these names:
