EP 12. What if the products you use to feel beautiful are actually making you sick? In Part 2 of my solo Toxin Detox series, I reveal the hidden dangers lurking in our everyday beauty and personal care products and provide practical tips on how to reduce our toxin exposure. We get into the harmful ingredients to watch out for, the marketing buzzwords we can ignore, and how to read labels. Plus, I share my holy grail products, ones I’ve used since having ultra-sensitive, eczema-prone skin, and which I still use today because they’re just that good. What You'll LearnThe harmful ingredients hiding in everyday beauty and personal care productsHow to spot red flag ingredients on labels and marketing buzzwordsWhat third-party certifications and patient advocacy seals mean How common acne treatments could contribute to long-term health risksMy exact method for vetting products I can’t find on clean beauty appsMy current skincare essentials for ultra-sensitive skinStudies & Research2024 Front Public Health Article: “The Dark Side of Beauty” EWG Article on The Toxic 12 Ingredients in Cosmetics2022 study that uncovered that 83% of products contained parabensScienceNews article on PFAs found in cosmeticsHelpful article breaking down Fragrance and Natural FragranceArticle on benzoyl peroxide causing benzene in common acne treatments2022 study - “Natural is not always better” Other Resources MentionedEWG Skin Deep app/database for product safety ratingsThink Dirty app for ingredient analysisPerplexity AI tool for researching product ingredientsProducts MentionedHanskin Hyaluron Skin EssenceHanskin Pore Cleansing Oil PHAThe Klog Plant Rich Antioxidant Cleansing OilSoon Jung 2x Barrier CreamEarth Mama Nose & Cheek BalmCiele Prime & Protect SPF 30Support the showJOIN MY EMAIL LISTLiked this episode?
