The average women uses 12 personal care products a day, the average man uses 6.  How many personal care products do you use and how toxic are they?  This is the latest topic visited by Annie Leonard as she sheds light on our ignorance about our personal care products.  “The Story of Cosmetics” is a short 8 minute video that opens our eyes to the toxins we are polluting our bodies with.

I have gone through and compiled a list of cosmetic products that are safer and healthier for you and your family.  Please click here for this list, print it out and take it with you when you go shopping.  Next time you need to replace your shampoo or your moisturizer, try a product with few or no toxins.  The products listed on this list have all natural ingredients.  When you are looking at purchasing new products – pick products with fewer ingredients and buy products that are fragrance free.  This list is compiled from the research done by the Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetic Database.

Here’s to a healthier you – which is a ongoing effort!  If you have tried a product and recommend it, please let me know.
