Yesterday, I gave a presentation to 10 of my friends and a few of their teenage daughters about potentially harmful ingredients in everyday body care and cosmetic products. It was suggested that I start a blog to document my journey into a less toxic lifestyle, to share my experiences in making my own body products, makeup, cleaners, and my experiences with foods.
There is a plethora of information spread across the internet already about this subject. I spent a lot of time in preparation for yesterday's presentation doing searches, reading books, and testing recipes. My intentions for this forum is to have a single place to store my experiences, successes, failures, ideas, and helpful links to information.
To get started, this link will take you to the presentation I gave yesterday, the point of which was three-fold: to make my friends aware of what kinds of things are in the personal care products they use, give them tools to determine if they are safe (or if there are safer alternatives on the market), and to show them how easy it is to make completely safe body products at home with food-based ingredients. They all left the presentation with a gift bag containing samples of all-natural homemade products: Face Wash, Toner, Moisturizer, Lip Balm, and Body Butter.
