Did you know that our skin is the largest organ in our body? We do so much thinking about what we ingest and what's in our home; but, what you apply to your skin should absolutely be the number one concern of yours for your overall health. According to some studies, about 60% of chemicals in cosmetics end up in the bloodstream & about 5 pounds of cosmetics are absorbed by our bodies every year. It only takes 26 seconds for cosmetics to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

The reason why only 60% of chemicals are absorbed (for most people) is that, like all other organs, our bodies have enzymes to fight back against toxins. The problem is - they only work so hard. Between the shampoo we use, the lotions/creams we put on our face and body, the perfumes we spray onto our skin, that's A LOT of toxins!

Unfortunately, in the US, the FDA hasn't updated the standards of our products (like other countries like the EU) for OVER 80 YEARS! We are fighting to change that; but, in the meantime, I am here to suggest some safe alternatives which are amazing quality and I have grown to use and love.
