E21: Safer Beauty and Personal Care Products: Why it's important to understand what we put on our skin and how to choose safer products

Did you know that the European Union has banned over 1,400 chemicals in personal care products but the FDA has only partially banned 30 to date? You may be aware about the toxins in many food products sold in the grocery store but do you also know how many harmful ingredients are in the personal care and beauty products we put on our skin (our largest organ) daily? In today's episode we'll discuss why men, women and children should think about the products they put on their body and skin, in addition to what one puts in their body through the food they eat. Tune in to this episode to learn a few simple tips that will empower you to use cleaner products. We believe that beauty should not only make you look good but should be good for you. If you want to dive into this topic further and have an interactive dialogue then join us for our Clean Beauty 101 Workshop (see below for sign-up link). We'd love to hear how this episode has sparked you to think about slowly making the change to cleaner beauty/skincare products.
