The Iron Ring

I saw a piece recently about the large number of chemicals women expose themselves to just in their daily cosmetic routine. I’m a pretty loyal Neutrogena customer and I was not so pleased to read the labels on my favorite shampoos and creams. I wasn’t expecting my tinted moisturizer to be ‘green’, it does change the color of my skin after all, but I had hoped the workhorse daily SPF one might be a bit more natural. We hear so much about saving the animals from cosmetic testing, I say screw the animals, save our own skin— a quick google unearthed a piece about a research group in the UK that claimed to find chemicals from deodorant in breast tumors.

Ever heard of Burts Bees? The cosmetics made from beeswax and packaged all cutesy and homespun? Turns out Clorox bought Burts Bees—and clorox is ‘going green’. Pictured at right is the CEO of Burts Bees eating some avocado hair care product.

I don’t know about you but I’m sold. Ever eat your shampoo before?

More on this tomorrow………….
