After watching this informative video (which was posted on Facebook today by my friend Tracy) I had to share it with you all. I’m sure for most of you ladies, this will just be a refresher, but for those of you who haven’t yet boarded the holistic beauty boat, this video will be eye-opening and quite frankly, frightening. Most conventional beauty products are loaded with toxins and carcinogens that get absorbed by your body and stay in your body for long periods of time. That’s why it’s super important to use wholesome, organic, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products.
The Cosmetic Safety Database is a great resource for finding out how toxic your beauty products are.
Have you made the switch?
This is a brilliant video- so well done and such an eye opener! It is incredibly scary to see how much chemical we absorb on a daily basis.. especially with kids around, definitely makes me think twice about some of my product options!
Thanks for the link, Sunny! I got the link from my friend, Becky http://www.glueandglitter.com/main/2010/07/22/the-story-of-cosmetics/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+glueandglitter+%28Glue%26Glitter.com%29&utm_content=FaceBook
Great video! Coincidentally, I just decided to try the “no poo” method using baking soda and water to “wash” and apple cider vinegar in water to “condition”. We’ll see how it goes!
Please let me know how it goes. I’m thinking about trying that, too!
