Have you heard of the new documentary Toxic Beauty on Amazon? Well, I would like to empower you today to take a look at that. Some of the shocking facts you’ll find out include the fact that the FDA has not updated regulations for the beauty industry since the 1930’s. Things like talc being connected to ovarian cancer is incredibly impactful to many. The beauty industry has been destroying the cells of women for years.
The movie depicts a corporate whistle-blower who turned down a $1.3 million settlement in order to expose the health risks of Johnson & Johnson products. The documentary speaks with researchers, doctors, lawyers, regulators and cancer survivors. It unearths some of the problems we see regularly in the beauty industry.
This is why it is so important to understand about the products that you use on your skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body. That means whatever goes on your skin, goes in your body. I would like to take a moment and encourage you to look at the ingredients of your skin care products and make up. There are plenty of big name brands that still use ingredients that have been proven carcinogens.
It’s time to take back your skin care. When taking care of your skin it is part of your wellness regime. Be picky! Don’t settle for less! Sometimes the simplest ingredients can be utilized for your regime! If you need some help finding products that have been proven to be natural please contact us for recommendations!
