Beautycounter

In an effort to reduce our overall toxic chemical exposure, we have been slowly converting our beauty supplies to safer products. Beautycounter is an amazing company whose mission is to get safer beauty products into the hands of everyone. Surprisingly, there are few laws and regulations that companies are required to follow regarding harmful ingredients in beauty products. Companies are given a lot of leeway to make their own judgments about safety. 

Beautycounter developed a “The Never List.”  Their Never List is a compilation of 1,500 ingredients, including parabens, formaldehyde and mercury, that the brand will never use when making it’s products. This commitment has won us over and Whitney became a consultant. 

We know it is expensive to change over to safer products. We recommend starting with products that are designed to stay on your skin to be absorbed.
