The University California Berkeley Hermosa Study demonstrates that by simply eliminating products with endocrine disrupting and cancer-causing chemicals, you can lower the levels of  parabens, phthalates, triclosan, oxybenzone from your body as much as 40% in only 3 DAYS by swapping to safer skin care and personal care products. I put together my list of important swaps. 

Not only are these mindful products free of harmful chemicals, they are packed with over 35 minerals and trace elements know to bind with toxins so they can safely be eliminated from our bodies! 

YOUR CURRENT PRODUCT’S Chemicals of Concern: Polyacrylamide, acrylamide contamination, PTFE, PFOA contamination, Placental extracts, UV filters http://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-facts/whats-in-my-products/products/  

Here’s the scoop on these 5 SMART SWAPS:

SWAP 5 TO STAY ALIVE

What’s so awesome about our BBCC cream is it protects from the sun, heals and prevents acne AND is a natural SKIN BRIGHTENER knocking  out the need for foundation, all while providing a protective barrier on the skin protecting chemical penetration of color cosmetics.  So, this is your shield from the sun and harmful cosmetic chemicals. 

It works double duty to fade hyperpigmentation with Daisy Extract so that foundation wearers can use less and eventually give up foundation entirely.
