It’s amazing how we can be so in touch with our health in some ways, but overlook other just as crucial factors.
The average woman puts 515 different chemicals on her body each day. From shampoo to eye-liner, its truly scary when one takes a deeper look at the ingredients being smeared all over the skin and hair. 60 per cent of what is applied to the skin is absorbed into the body.
I think this image helps bring home the message: we do not need to poison our body in order to look beautiful. Look for products that use natural, organic ingredients. It’s usually the case that you will need to venture out and try new brands, since the well-known beauty brands are not known for avoiding including chemicals in their products.
Be picky in which products you choose to give your money to! Where you put your money is a vote to the kind of world you want to live in. It’s your body and you deserve to be healthy, happy, and look great!
Here are some of my favorite organic and cruelty-free companies / products:
- Gourmet Body Treats: An organic make-up company that’s perfect for women with sensitive skin. Their products are never tested on animals, they are 100% eco-friendly, certified vegan, and contain no synthetic chemicals. gourmetbodytreats.com
- Juice Beauty: My favorite face lotion and fruit stem cell Eye Cream! http://www.juicebeauty.com
- Lafe’s Natural Crystal Organic Deodorant: I have been using it for two years now, works amazingly well and lasts FOREVER. There is no website affiliated, but it’s sold at any Whole Foods or natural store.
- Alba Botanica: Hair care, my favorite shampoo and conditioner. It smells delicious! I think it works just as well as other products, especially the volumizing line. They carry other products too including Lip, Body, Face, and Sun care. http://www.albabotanica.com/
Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
Thanks for the info!! it is so true that this is an issue that people rarely think about (including myself). Thanks for the links! one of my favorite brands is pangea organics… http://www.pangeaorganics.com/
Thanks Kel! Pangea is a great one too
Love
This is crazy! Everyone uses shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, food items, etc that has chemicals. You cant avoid it.
It’s true, the common names that you find in any store are full of chemicals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t avoid it. There is always an excuse to not change “the way things are” but then where is the progress in that? Your skin is the largest organ you have and what you put on it matters. There are more products available than ever before that do not contain harmful chemicals… check out a few listed at the end of this blog.
LIES!!!
What about the air we breath!? CHEMICALS EVERYWHERE – WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!
Don’t be paranoid and stress about what you cannot control, what you put in (food) and on (products) your body and your mindset make the biggest difference. Do what you can.
