Fatal Attraction – Cosmetics & Chemicals (Infographic)

Here’s another infographic discussing the chemicals in our cosmetics and personal care products. Of course, I don’t agree with EVERYTHING this infographic is touting, but it’s still a good read. As always, do your research and keep guides on ingredients to avoid handy when you go shopping. Buy greener alternatives to deodorants, baby shampoo, lipstick and sunscreen.

Below are a few suggestions:

• Deodorant: Bubble & Bee Pit Putty Organic Deodorant
• Baby Shampoo: Earth Mama Organic Baby Shampoo and Body Wash
• Lipstick: Ilia Beauty Natural Lipstick
• Sunscreen: Badger Balm Light Scented Sunscreen with SPF30+

In the meantime, you have natural beauty blogs like Garden of Beauty and those listed on my Blogroll to the right that’ll give you the resources and links to sites you can read to conduct your research, as well as green alternatives to the conventional stuff. From there, make your choices and stick to them. Remember, educating yourself and remaining aware is key.
