What To Look For In Your Family's Beauty Products
1. Organic Products have surged with the demand of nontoxic options. By choosing organic you are selecting products free of harmful chemicals, a safer choice for your family and for the environment as well as the workers who make these products. Win. Win. Win.
2. Don't buy Microbeads- they're toxic. These are simply tiny balls of plastic that make it all the way to our oceans, polluting our waters & the food chain with toxins. They've been outlawed but until 2018 will still be in circulation. Make the conscious, purchase-power choice, not to buy them.
3. Look for companies that make ECO-FRIENDLY part of their practice. Processes like no animal testing, no use of harmful ingredients, and efforts toward minimizing waste and energy usage are all practices conscious companies are putting value in. Buying these alternatives will make you a proud consumer and healthy family beauty builder.
