    5 Reasons to Switch to Clean Beauty

    5 reasons to switch to clean beauty

    living a toxin free lifestyle and avoiding things like parabens and sulfates can be an overwhelming task. But what exactly are these ingredients that we're trying to avoid and why are they harmful to us? That's where we come in. We're here to help you avoid toxic ingredients and also educate you on why they should be avoided. We've broken down some of the most common ingredients used in conventional products and give you a little information on why they are harmful to your health.

    parabens are preservatives and are found in almost any beauty product. You will see these listed as methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben on an ingredient list. These alter hormone levels and have been linked to increased risk to breast cancer and reproductive issues. #cleanyourroutine and try a paraben-free cleanser like suki skincare moisture-rich cleansing lotion

    sulfates are foaming agents and are commonly found in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. they strip the skin of natural oils and can be contaminated with known carcinogens like 1,4-dioxane. #cleanyourroutine and go sulfate free with innersense pure harmony hair bath.

    synthetic fragrance is a major player in conventional beauty products. Synthetic fragrance is simply labeled as fragrance or perfume on a cosmetic label. this blend is considered a "trade secret" and can include up to 5,000 undisclosed ingredients. fragrance is linked to asthma, skin allergies, and cancer. #cleanyourroutine and try the maya chia revitalizing supercritical body oil

    phthalates are found in most synthetic fragrances, makeup, lotion, and nail polish. they are used to help scents last longer and to prevent nail polish from chipping. these are endocrine disruptors and have been linked to developmental and reproductive toxicity. #cleanyourroutine and try aila nail polish

    petroleum derivatives are most commonly listed as mineral oil or petrolatum on labels. they are found in moisturizers, conditioners, and lip products. these can be contaminated with known carcinogens like 1,4-dioxane and can disrupt your endocrine system. #cleanyourroutine and try a petroleum free moisturizer like indie lee's squalane facial cream.
