Have you guys heard of EWG's Skin Deep app? I just learned about it a few months ago and am so happy I did. EWG (the Environmental Working Group) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment. Their mission is to empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment. "EWG drives consumer choice and civic action with its game-changing investigations and research on toxics and environmental health, food and agriculture, and water and energy."

Check out the score of your sunscreens, kids products, shampoo, makeup, cleansers - any products you use that are being absorbed through your skin! And then ask yourself why companies are making potentially harmful products when it IS possible to make great products without these ingredients, as proven by Beautycounter. The reason is because they are allowed to under the current laws in the United States. For me, that is unacceptable. I want to know that the products I'm using on my skin and on my babies skin are safe. It is time for the US to catch up with Europe and start prohibiting the use of these products. But until then, know that there are safe, effective products you can buy. So after testing your current products, come on over to Beautycounter and find a safe replacement. You won't regret it!
And a fun comparison of my old shampoo vs. Beautycounter's CLEAN Shampoo:

So the app has a barcode scanner that you can use in the store to scan any product before you buy it to see how its hazard score ranks from 0-10. It also tells you whether a product has No, Low, Moderate or High Health Concerns for Cancer, Development/Reprotoxicity and Allergies. You can also test any products you currently have to see how they score. It was eye-opening for me to say the least!
