July 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

The Japanese government has announced that it will no longer conduct year-long poisoning tests for pesticides on dogs.

good-news-for-teenagers

We’re so lucky to have a whole plethora of natural cosmetics to choose from nowadays, so gone are the days when you simply had to take what you can get. I have only ever used natural products, as my skin has a built-in chemical detector and breaks out in red itchy bumps from any regular cosmetics. Hence I frequented health shops since my teen years. We may also have good … [Read more...]

eco-cosmetics-save-the-earth-and-your-health

The use of cosmetics has become a daily routine, so much so that often we apply beauty products without reading the labels. Even if we did have a peek at the ingredients in our products, most of us wouldn't know what they were. The list of ingredients is often a reminder of how complicated those chemistry lessons were.

How deep do we need to go in greening our lives? As deep as it goes; to the bone. Of course it matters what we feed one of our biggest organs, the skin. Who would like to knowingly expose their lymph glands to a concoction of chemicals contained in 'regular,' often toxic, cosmetics and body products?
