This October marks 7 years since my cancer diagnosis . 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime with Breast Cancer.

For over 6 years I have been educating on clean and safe personal care products and avoiding toxins many found in our products that are linked to cancer. During this breast cancer awareness month I am donating a portion of my sales to the Breat Cancer Prevention Partners

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ widespread in top makeup brands, study finds
Read in The Guardian: https://apple.news/AuikLAz9XQGG1KZCwGKZljQ

This kind of article reinforces the importance of our mission to “counter” the current lack of transparency and push for more regulation on the Beauty Industry:

THE WHAT, WHERE & WHY
WHAT?

-Toxic PFAS or Polyfluoroalkyl substances are
also known as “forever chemicals” because they do not breakdown naturally in the body once absorbed.
-Companies do not add these PFA’s intentionally but there is NO process for testing to avoid ending up in the final product.
-There is no regulation or requirement on these companies by the FDA to disclose or test for PFA’s

WHERE?

-Found in “products with high levels of organic fluorine an indicator of PFAS, in over half of 231 make up and personal care samples. Including lipstick, eyeliner , mascara, foundation, concealer , lip balm, blush, nail polish and more”
Particularly waterproof mascara, foundations and liquid lipstick

WHY?

-This is the first study of this kind - and the concern is that the products are used daily leading to significant toxic exposure
-Look for companies that do the work like Beautycounter who batch test all of their products for harmful ingredients

It's not clear which brands tested positive but I'm hoping we know soon so consumers can make educated choices in what and how they purchase. Transparency is key and pick companies that take the guesswork out of the equation!!

How does this article make you feel? Here to answer questions.

Researchers find PFAS present in over half of 231 samples of products including lipstick, mascara and foundation

WHAT DOES CLEAN BEAUTY REALLY MEAN?
With its rise in popularity and the industry's projection " to reach a whopping 25.11 billion dollars by 2025" I am happy to say "Clean Beauty" is gaining momentum and is here for the long haul :). That being said , there are many misconceptions and confusion on what defines clean.

Here's what you need to know:
1. There is no legal or official definition/guideline on clean. Individual brands have taken it upon themselves to define clean beauty according to their own agendas.
2. Clean beauty products should contain only a non-toxic, fully transparent list of tested ingredients with third party validations.
3. Avoid "Clean Washing" products with buzzwords like “natural" and “organic" does not guarantee clean. Clean Beauty products focus on eliminating toxic ingredients first and foremost.

"The point of clean beauty isn’t to demonize ingredients but to help everyone be more mindful and selective about what we’re putting on our bodies every day". For a simple guide read this article. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/a36166600/clean-beauty-guide/T

"New tests found that levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen, were found in popular sunscreens (both chemical and mineral based sunscreens).."
Articles like these serve to validate the work we are doing to
make the beauty industry more transparent. Should Benzene be in our sunscreen or our hand sanitizers? Absolutely NOT !!! I am not trying to be an alarmist just want you all to be educated consumers and make healthy choices from CLEAN brands that are doing the necessary screening for contaminants. " Choose Brands that do Better" Need a clean swap? Can I help answer any questions on products?

A recent test found various brands and batches of sunscreen and after-sun care products contained benzene, a potential carcinogen.
