Today, we live in a world of abundant Whole Foods and cold press juice shops; a world where vegans are Beyoncé and calorie counts are labeled next to the 20-piece chicken nugget meal you were about to order from the McDonalds menu. We’re currently in an interesting time and space where the public demand of consumed goods has shifted to a surplus of organic, natural, and clean alternatives (tangent: I just used demand, goods, and surplus in one sentence - my micro-econ professor would be so proud!). Now, my friends, it is up to us to decide what we put on and in our bodies and I’m going to teach you how to make that decision the natural way, at least when it comes to beauty. Uh-huh honey *Bound 2 voice*
Ingredients to Look Out For
These ingredients and chemicals are a big no-no in most beauty communities and personally I don’t purchase products that include these due to their links to body toxicity and the fact that I can’t pronounce them—I clearly was not a bio major.
Parabens
Phthalates
Paraffin
Mineral Oil
Petroleum
Dioxin
Propylene Glycol
Sulfates
Silicones
Animal testing - C’mon y’all, don’t let the cute bunny pay the price for your beauty needs. Also, this obviously is not an ingredient, but you know what I mean.
At this point you’re probably thinking, “Dang Sherelle, then what ingredients are left for me to use?” and to that I reply, “Plenty!”
