Get the Facts from EWG!
Beauty Blog:
As a mother and a woman who uses beauty products and is in charge of what is used in my home, I have come to found facts from the Environmental Working Group very interesting and wanted to share that with my readers.
Here is what the EWG is saying and has been saying!
Most people use around 10 personal care products every day with an average of 126 unique ingredients. We’d like to believe that the government is policing the safety of all of these mixtures we’re putting on our bodies, but they’re not. Instead, these under-regulated chemicals are causing concerns for human health and the environment - whether they seep through your skin or wash down your drain. They are encouraging everyone to buy better body care products.
What makes a body care product “better”?
Better products meet their claims and are free of ingredients that could harm our health or the environment. Labels might claim that a product is “gentle” or “natural,” but with no required safety testing, companies that make personal care products can use almost any chemical they want, regardless of risks. So, always read product labels - especially the ingredient list - before you buy.
