I feel along with what we have learned about everything else so far...nothing is going to be good for us. I can't believe something so small can lead to so many other hazardous things. Although, each person's susceptibility is different & each of the ingredients is only a small amount, there is always that chance that something could happen. So far so good though. Maybe i'll have to take a look into other options and brands out there. (For those of you who didn't know...The Whole Foods Co-op has there own line of makeup products!)
I use mascara pretty much daily, and it's a little sketchy to find out that it is linked to cancer!! I never even thought about how much harm our cosmetics could cause-- we always just focus on the bigger things.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Whole Foods Co-Op has their own line. I wonder the cost? Surprisingly, make up is one thing I do spend a lot of money on, so I do not feel that cost would hinder me from going organic. Perhaps something to look into :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go to the co-op I pass by the cosmetic area and have thoughts about getting organic makeup and other things but those thoughts are always hindered by my logic of costs or just comfort with the current brands I use.
ReplyDeleteI also choose my mascara and the results were shocking! I cant believe how toxic this stuff can be! I did not know that the whole foods co-op had its own line of make-up! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, everything in the world is terrible for us. Who knew? I would LOVE to be able to afford to go organic, but at this point in my life I just can't afford to make a 100% compitment. Once I land my first grownup job, then it'll be all green!
