ISOCETYL STEARATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, STEARIC ACID....What is lurking in your body care products?
One place where toxins and chemicals linger is in our body care products: makeup, shampoos, hair sprays, lotions, toothpastes, deodorants, shave cream, hair gels, perfume, nail polish, makeup removers, sunscreens, and more!Women can often be more toxic than men because of how much we slather on ourselves on a daily basis! You should be able to literally EAT what you put on your skin! Our skin is our largest organ and will absorb what we put on it.
Check out this database by the Environmental Working Group called Skin Deep. You can even download an app on your smart phone!
