Why is clean, non-toxic beauty so important?

Why is clean, non-toxic beauty so important?

What you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. Did you know, your skin is your largest organ and it absorbs 60% of everything you put on your skin? In most cases, it only takes 26 seconds for cosmetics to be absorbed into your bloodstream.

 

BAD NEWS

The cosmetics industry puts 80,000 untested synthetic chemicals into personal care products.

60% of everything you topically use is absorbed into your bloodstream.

The United States has not passed a major federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients used in personal care products since 1938.

The personal care industry in the U.S. is unregulated, leaving companies to make their own decision on what is considered safe with no government oversight. The US has only banned 11 ingredients to date (the European Union has banned more than 1,300 chemicals).

The average American woman uses 10-12 personal care products a day containing more than 100 chemicals that we ingest, inhale, and absorb through our skin.

With repetitive use these chemicals contribute to cancer, hormone disruption, developmental disabilities, birth defects and other health problems.
