You’re quaffing green smoothies, you’ve cut out the gluten and you’re hot yoga-ing every week, but what about your beauty products?!

Just like our bodies need a good detox and seasonal cleanse, so do our makeup bags + personal care products.  

Because it’s not just what you put in your body, but also ON your body that counts. 

Your skin is your largest organ and whatever you slather on it finds its way into your bloodstream, where it can have long-term consequences for your health, hormones and even fertility.  

The David Suzuki Foundation performed a landmark study and found that in their test of 12,500 personal care products from moisturizer to shampoo, 80% of the products contained at least one of the 12 toxic chemicals known as "the dirty dozen." 

The Environmental Working Group also found the average person is exposed to 126 chemicals each day, just in personal care products alone. This includes chemicals from cosmetics, body lotions, sunblock, facial cleansers and personal hygeine products.

These are some scary statistics and it gets worse: did you know that hormonal imbalances in women are at an all time high and most of our makeup bags are filled with some pretty nasty endocrine disruptors?
