Did you know that your skin is your largest organ? Yep, you heard right, it’s an organ. And it’s primary job is to protect you! Let's learn more about how you can make it's job a little easier.

It only takes 30 seconds for what you put on your skin to be absorbed into your body. Between hair products, body wash, facial products, deodorant, moisturizer, makeup, perfumes and whatever else we might be using or applying, the average woman puts up to 500 synthetic chemicals (or more!) on her body every single day without even realizing. AND….60% of what we put onto our skin is absorbed into our bodies!

The personal care product industry is a 6 billion dollar industry! The EU has banned over 1100 chemicals - many of which we use in our products in North America. This is alarming and appauling! Many popular brands marketed as "clean or non-toxic" still contain some of the most toxic ingredients like Fragrances, Pertrolatum, and Parabens.

So where can do we start? Well first, let's look into the toxicity level of your current products. Today your challenge is to investigate some of the current products you are using. Warning: you might not like what you see!
