How many chemicals did you wear today?

Did you know that the average woman wears 515 chemicals a day?! Or that our skin absorbs 60% of any topical product we use? 

What we put on our skin is just as important as what we put in our mouths therefore choosing chemical free, low toxicity, organic beauty and skin products is a must. We know it can be overwhelming thinking about how you're going to give your beauty regime a healthy 'make-over', so we suggest starting with one product at a time. This could mean replacing your shampoo and conditioner first, then your deodorant, toothepaste etc. Make a conscious effort where you can. Start small and then before you know it you'll be clean and green on the inside and out!


So what can you do? Choose products that are as natural and organic as you can find, or brands that steer clear of adding nasty chemical agents! 


What nasties are in your everyday skin, hair and body products?


What products do I use on my skin?
