I used to never give it a second thought about what I was putting on my body in the name of "beauty". Becoming a mom changed all that - the more I research the ingredients of products that we so readily put on our body on a daily basis - the more shocked I am - and saddened. I guess I always assumed that companies that create these products would realize that these ingredients are not good for us to put in or on our bodies and that they would have their customer's best interests at heart. (don't forget that your skin is one large organ that allows products to soak through and be absorbed straight into your bloodstream)
A friend sent me this picture - It sums up some of the chemicals that we are exposed to through our favorite beauty products. I am familiar with many of these through some of my research, but it still shocks me to see just how much.
There are lots of alternative beauty products out there that don't have all of these chemicals in them....and they work just as good as the chemical ones. I hope you are inspired to give some a try, and reduce you and your family's exposure to some of these chemicals.
