Why go organic?

Did you know that nearly everything packaged you buy (from low end to high end quality) and use on your face and body contains ingredients suspected of causing cancer, birth defects, interfere with our hormone function, cause break outs, trigger allergic reactions, rashes, asthma and other respiratory issues.

BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY!

The main chemicals that I guarantee you will find in pretty much every product in your shower or beauty cabinet (seriously go check you will be shocked) is parabens, fragrance and sulfates. There are plenty more of course but I don't want to overwhelm you!

PARABENS is basically a group of preservatives that get absorbed into our skin and accumulate in our bodies over time, which then can be found inside breast tumours, and thus has been linked to cancer. It'll be in your lotions, shower gels, conditioners, eye-shadows or any other cosmetic products.

FRAGRANCE this can contain phalates and many more other chemicals which manufactures are not required to disclose. You basically have no idea what your putting on your body and it sure won't be good for you.

SULFATES (sodium lauryl) its what makes thinks foamy in shampoos and soaps. It penetrates into our skin and is linked to cancer and birth defects. It may also be toxic to our neurological and respiratory system.

The good news is that you can educate yourself on what is and isn't good to use on your body and avoid these chemicals, but the bad news is that something labelled natural or organic isn't necessarily actually organic, so it takes time to find brands you can trust and that actually work as well as the products you are used to.

I have been on a quest to make my life as organic as I can, especially in terms of beauty because it's my passion (I spent hours watching people do their make up and share their hair secrets on YouTube :D).
I want to try and help anyone who is in the process of transitioning into the natural world, as well as hopefully get some help from you guys along the way ;).
