Natural & Organic Make-Up & Personal Care Products

Did you know that the government does not regulate the toxicity of many of the ingredients that are used in everyday cosmetics and personal care products? Companies are allowed to use ingredients that are shown to be harmful to our health and even cancer-causing. These include Parabens, Artificial Fragrance, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Toluene, Phthalates, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Formaldehyde, Oxybenzone, Diethanolamine, and Triclosan. The European Union has banned over 1,300 chemicals for use in personal care products due to safety concerns, whereas the United States has banned only 11. 

Fortunately, with greater media attention and public awareness of the toxins in cosmetics and personal care products, there is growing consumer demand for safe, natural products. As a result, there is a burgeoning number of companies that are delivering products that are not only effective, but safe for human health and the environment.
