NO MORE TOXIC BEAUTY!

Many well-known beauty products are filled with harsh chemicals, preservatives, artificial colors, fragrances and in some cases, carcinogens. Did you know, many personal care products we apply to our skin are ABSORBED into OUR BLOODSTREAM?

While the average female is aiming to improve her skin and hair condition, she is unknowingly HARMING herself each time she uses toxic ingredients, including deodorant, soap, shampoo, moisturizer, body wash, mascara, foundation and the list is ENDLESS. According to the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, "Some companies use ingredients that may cause cancer or that are associated with developmental problems. Many cosmetics ingredients penetrate the skin. People ingest those used on lips and hands and inhale sprays and powders. When risky and unstudied chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes are high."

As a Licensed beauty professional with over 25 years experience in the beauty industry, I'm taking a firm stand to say, "NO MORE TOXIC BEAUTY!" The most IMPORTANT KEY to ensuring safe, pure and non-toxic ingredients is EDUCATING ourselves. If you are uncertain of which ingredients are safe or unsafe, check out SKIN DEEP COSMETICS DATABASE to learn more.

Another non-toxic personal care business I highly recommend is AVA ANDERSON NON-TOXIC BEAUTY, which was developed by a savvy 14 year old who discovered the hazardous health effects of harsh chemicals contained in personal care products. Rather than expose herself to toxic ingredients, Ava Anderson began researching companies who claimed to be "pure" and "organic", yet, the bottle labels read otherwise.

After Ava exhausted all efforts in search of safe, organic ingredients, she launched out to create her own 100% non-toxic line of products. In December 2009, Ava’s personal care company was launched and it has been GROWING and GROWING ever since!

Girly Girls, we only have ONE life to live....let's choose NON-TOXIC!
