What’s in that lotion you’re slathering all over your newborn’s delicate skin?
How about in that mascara which comes in contact with your eyes?
It’s important to think about what’s in your beauty products— because this is is stuff you put on your skin (your largest organ) over and over again to be absorbed into your body. What might be the long-term effects of that exposure? It could be ugly.
To see how your fave products stack up, search for them on EWG’s Skin Deep Database or on the Good Guide. (Download the Good Guide app and you can just scan a product’s barcode with your phone to get its score!)

The minute I learned what was lurking in the products I used I threw them out. I was shocked at the toxins I and my family were being exposed to. Since then we only use certified organic products, and products that I make myself. Our skin and body care routine is very simple – mostly a very simple shampoo, organic virgin coconut oil for the skin, baking soda on occasion for deodorant, and some natural toothpaste.
Peace. 😉
