Ok, this is something you’ve heard me talk about many times before: being intentional about choosing safer, healthier products in every area of your family’s lives.
But in this episode I’m going to dig deeper than I ever have before to unpack why exactly it’s so important to become an educated consumer and learn how to make better choices when it comes to the products you and your family uses every single day.
I’m going to be covering a ton of information, addressing many misconceptions about the clean beauty industry, sharing some really compelling facts and figures, as well as answering some of the most common questions I get surrounding this topic.
Grab a pen and some paper, pop your earbuds in and get ready to learn just why choosing safer products is so important!
What You’ll Hear:
- How our hormone systems are being disrupted and our bodies are getting sick from all the toxic ingredients found in most conventional personal care products
- The truth about toxins, heavy metals, fragrances, preservatives, and so much more
- Currently, there are only around 30 ingredients banned from being used in cosmetics, compared to over 1500 in the European Union
- The United States hasn’t passed any legislation regulating the cosmetics and beauty industry since the 1930s
- What exactly common product buzzwords like organic, natural, green, and cruelty-free mean (and don’t mean!)
- How you can play your part in increasing demand for cleaner, safer products and stricter regulations
- My favorite clean beauty product line, and why I love how they’re leading the way in clean beauty advocacy
