The best way to know if the products that you bring into your home are non-toxic and chemical-free is to make them yourself. There are so many wonderful DIY recipes, most of which are more economical and just as or even more effective than chemical-laden store-bought products.
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a coalition of more than 100 nonprofit organizations working to protect the health of consumers and workers by eliminating dangerous chemicals from cosmetics.
Unfortunately, there is a pervasive use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo.
Do you know that there are no legal requirements for using the term "natural" and "organic" on a skin care products? Yes, cosmetic companies are free to label their products as "organic" even if they contain dangerous chemicals.
The healthier way to go for you and your loved ones is to use as much 100% natural beauty care as you can. Knowledge is power when it comes to this subject.
Your skin is the largest organ of the body and it does not filter what we put on it. In fact it absorbs everything. If you can't read, pronounce, or understand what is in your cosmetics, you shouldn't even think about using it.
