Are You Ready For A Clean Start?

It’s not uncommon to have a conversation with people in your circle about removing toxicity from our lives. We spend time focusing on creating a safe and thrive-friendly environment in terms of friendships, relationships, work environments, food, family members, thoughts, habits, etc. 

But when does that extend to your skincare? 

Why doesn’t that include your makeup? 

Do you think about removing toxicity from your detergent? 

Toxic is toxic and I agree that it has no place in  your life. 

Here at Clean Beauty for Black Girls we talk quite a bit about endocrine disruption because your hormones are such a large contributor to your overall body functionality and health. 

So why would you intentionally use five to ten products a day that are causing your hormone system direct harm?

Why use products that contain ingredients that prevent your body from properly doing the job it was naturally created to do? 

Organ toxicity is real. So just as often as you evaluate your relationships and if they are bringing you more good than bad, you need to be doing the same with the products you use every day. 

This passive life of just using products based on convenience is not good enough for us. 

And something important for me to say:

Perfection is overrated. But one step at a time is not. 

I want to remind you that not only has there been no regulation passed in the personal care products industry since 1938, but since then more than 80,000 chemicals have come into our lives by way of products on the shelf. 

Of that 80,000k, only 10% have been tested. The FDA is aware that many of the ingredients used on a consistent basis cause cancer, but their authority is severely limited. These are ingredients like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde and lead. 

To showcase the reality we are facing - 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. 

Small amounts of toxic ingredients add up.

So start with one product. Swap it for something safer. 

Then the next time you run out of something, swap that for safer.

You deserve better. Choose You. Choose Safer
