Ingredients To Avoid In Your Beauty Products

Are you considering switching to safer beauty products? In this post, I will share the top ingredients to avoid in your beauty products and the reasons why it matters for your overall health. The beauty industry is lacking in regulation, with outdated laws and thousands of potentially harmful chemicals being used. I have slowly transitioned to safer products for myself and my family, and Beautycounter has been a valuable resource in this journey. The European Union and Canada are leading the way in regulating personal care products, banning hundreds of harmful ingredients, while the US only restricts 30. Some harmful ingredients to avoid include parabens, phthalates, fragrance, formaldehyde, oxybenzone, heavy metals, talc, paraffins, petrolatum, and resorcinol. By choosing products with safer ingredients, we are making a positive impact on our health and the environment.
