When risky and unstudied chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes are high. People ingest those used on lips and hands and inhale sprays and powders.
Many (actually most – if not ALL) cosmetics ingredients penetrate the skin. We all know that some companies use ingredients that may cause cancer or that are associated with developmental problems. So what’s an earthy mamma gal to do?! DON’T BUY ANYTHING ONLINE WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING THE EWG SKIN DEEP DATABASE!!!
Spending hours in an outlet store browsing tiny fine print on a thousand bottles of product with two toddlers and a newborn in tow? HA!!! Seriously, I love my children more than my own breath. Those lovely, evil, adorable, disastrous, miraculous, wonderful and monstrous little angels of mine. But as I said, overall, it was working for me.īut then… kids happened. Of course, the downside was that I couldn’t always find what I was looking for, and if I found a brand I LOVED, tough luck, it would almost never show up again. I got the thrill of finding fun new products, and they were bargain prices to boot. This was working for me, for the most part. (I told you guys, my mind is a weird place.) I felt like some primal hunter or wild warrior woman, hunting for skin sustenance, stalking my green living prey to nourish my hungry skin.
I would spend countless hours picking up anything that said “natural” or “organic” and would slave over the ingredients, reaching each item and line to look out for the bad stuff. See, for the longest time I was relying on our local Grocery Outlet and Marshalls to “hunt” for the organic, clean, natural good stuff. I consider myself pretty well versed when it comes to natural living / crunchy momma / wanna-be hippy stuff.īut recently, finding good, genuine, natural, wholesome and healthy skin food has been a bit of a challenge.
