If So Many Basic Grooming Products Are Filled With Toxins, 

What *Can* We Use?

BY MEGAN PORSCHEN

I made the decision about four years ago to clean up my grooming routine. I’ve had severe allergies and asthma my whole life. Being a makeup artist on set, I quickly realized the effects that the cosmetic powders, sprays, and fragrances had on me. My allergist also warned me that if I was going down this path, I’d better take care.

I read several books on how to live a healthier life and I became aware of the risks associated with many ingredients in my makeup. I learned that cosmetic companies are not regulated by the FDA, so I studied up on healthier alternatives. (Thankfully, with the internet, companies can make the choice to be honest and transparent.) Now I live my life as a LOHAS (Lifestyle Of Health and Sustainability) consumer.

So how do I approach my personal care routine? It begins with purchasing clean products. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

The most important tool you can possess is knowledge of your ingredients!

You can find the no-no list of ingredients here and here. Print these and bring them to the store. If you find one or more of these in your cosmetics, find a healthier alternative. You can also use this list to check your products at home.
