1938. Gets Me Every Time.

Every time I’m reminded that the laws governing the multi-billion dollar personal care and cosmetics industry haven’t been meaningfully updated since 1938, I get mad. 😡

Here’s a article written by a Harvard Law student that gets into the details: http://bit.ly/2o8fyqu (Long, but interesting) 📚

Our Federal government is not watching out for us. It’s up to us to read labels, ask questions and use our consumer power to send a message to the big companies that we deserve better.

As a new mom, I was horrified to learn about the lack of accountability in the personal care and cosmetic industry. Just because something is sold in store doesn't mean it's been tested for safety. In fact, there are ingredients commonly found in products in the US that are banned in the EU because they don't meet safety standards. Some are known carcinogens and endocrine system disruptors. I've partnered with Beautycounter to share what I've learned with others and further the mission of getting safer products in the hands of everyone. Join me on my journey as I #switchtosafer!
