I'm holding onto the final days of summer with all my might. It has gone by way too fast and I want to savor every last drop...
After attending an EWG lecture on the chemicals found in our everyday products 5 years ago, I decided to take a more natural approach to my beauty arsenal. The main chemicals to watch out for are phthalates (often masked as "fragrance" on product labels) and parabens. Both linked to hormone disruption, phthalates can cause reproductive problems while parabens can increase your chance of breast cancer. Not sure what's lurking in the products you use? Educate yourself over at the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and shop the products I use below!
