We have all seen the individual with cucumber slices on their eyes in hopes of removing the bags. This along with eggs in hair to make hair shine, rubbing oranges on skin, etc. have been (somewhat) proven natural beauty remedies. I found another that has seemingly good results…the tomato skin face shine.
Another natural way to enhance your skin. Although no one will be around when I try this….
Watch the EWG’s take on the harmful potential of fragrances in your everyday consumer products here:
The Pure Deodorant Search has led me to bigger things…..
I decided to conduct a investigation about the ‘healthlyness’ of personal care products I use. The purpose was to identify the products that contain harmful chemicals in order to replace them with more pure alternatives. The most common toxin on the list is Fragrance followed by Methyl Paraben. List was complied using The Good Guide and Environmental Working Group’s (cosmeticdatabase.com)
I think I’m late to the party on this, but it appears that the beloved aluminum SIGG bottles are not what they’re cracked up to be. Disconcerting since I spent about $75 switching all my toxic plastic bottles to these purportedly non-toxic vessels. The link below provides a pretty good overview – apparently they now offer non-BPA-lined versions. And, if you bought yours at Whole Foods (like our family did) they’ll replace the bottles with the new versions.
The crumbiest part is the company’s response of “we never said they didn’t contain BPA, only that it would not leach BPA.” Talk about exceptional corporate responsibility – per our last post, I’m not feeling the “pure gratitude” for Sigg right now… I’m so disappointed each time I try to make a better, purer choice only to discover I’ve been mislead yet again. Well, off to Whole Foods for my new bottles. I wonder what they’re lined with…
