Harmful Chemicals in our Everyday Bath & Body Products

The anti-aging and beauty world is at the top of the list for being loaded with harmful chemicals that create infertility & promote cancer, and disrupt our endocrine system, among many other issues.

Certain chemicals present in makeup and other cosmetic products can contain ingredients that researchers have linked to serious health concerns. Some of these health concerns include cancer & endocrine disorders, which affect the production of hormones in the body.

"Hidden in plain sight.

Most of us use 12 beauty and personal care products on average every day.

These products can contain hundreds of unique chemicals that we absorb, inhale and ingest – some are linked to cancer, birth defects, learning disabilities and other serious health problems.

Lax regulation means the industry can sell products made with virtually any industrial chemical, without FDA safety testing or review."

The scary thing is that most of us don’t bat an eye at the label. From all the research I have been doing on multiple products, I have learned some scary truths about the harmful chemicals they include in our everyday products, and I encourage everyone to take a good look at the ingredient lists on the products they use.

It is up to us to say no to harmful products and put these corrupt companies out of business. If our health and safety are not a priority over their profit margin, then we shouldn’t support them.

As my daughter moves into this age of wanting to use more face and body products, I have made it my goal to make products that she can trust, watch out for the release of our youth line, a reliable safe and clean line of face and body products for our next generation.
