Episode 102: How to Choose Clean Makeup Brands
Choosing safe and healthy makeup is harder than it should be - let's simplify it! We all know that generic, drug-store makeup is full of toxins and things that are not good for our skin or for the world. But even makeup that is labeled as "clean", "organic", or "non-toxic" can have hidden chemicals that affect our health and hormones. In this episode, we talk about how to research product ingredients, ingredients to look for and avoid, and which products I like for both safe ingredients and great performance.
In this episode, you will learn more about:
Which chemicals to look out for and why
