Although we tend to be slightly more mindful about what we put in our bodies, we don't often think about what we put on them. What we put on our skin and hair goes into our bodies. Researchers say that the body absorbs up to 60% of what we put on our skin.
Mainstream cosmetic products often contain toxic ingredients such as carcinogens, endocrine disrupters, and allergens. The problem is, we use so many products with so many ingredients. The average American woman uses twelve products daily (men use six), with upward of 168 ingredients (85 for men).
Do you know what ingredients you put on your skin and hair on a daily basis? No? Would you like to? Below are links to some of my own recipes that have 100% natural and chemical free ingredients.
