March Forth With US!
Today we celebrate Beautycounter's 4th year of Better Beauty
Today Beautycounter celebrates four years! I have been with Beautycounter almost 3 years. Joining Beautycounter was one of the best decisions I have made. I am so blessed to be able to help educate others about this industry and be part of company working on the hill to pass laws to protect all of us. I have seen a small shift in friends, family and clients that now ask the question: What is in my personal care products?
Our mission is to get safe products into the hands of everyone.
- We need to update our 1938 law, we have gone through the chemical revolution yet our law never changed?!
- Why does the US only ban 30 ingredients while the European Union bans 1400?!
- Let members of Congress know what we deserve better and that harmful ingredients in our personal care products are NOT okay!
TODAY I ask you take action and participate with us by flooding Congress with our letters and calls asking for a change!
- TEXT “marchforth” to 52886 and you will receive a link which you can then easily email all your members of Congress in less then a minute!
- Send me a pick of your text or email and and you will be entered into a drawing of one of my favorite Beautycounter products as a THANK YOU for taking action!!
The Never List - 1500+ ingredients we will never use in our products
Today, the US bans only 30 ingredients from personal care products. In contrast, the European Union bans nearly 1400 ingredients - but don't be fooled - just because you're using a European product does NOT mean it's safe (many European companies make a cheaper product for the US market because there aren't as many ingredient restrictions - more profitable for them and more money for their bottom line). Don't be fooled by "Natural" and "Organic" on packaging....does your product have water or Lead in it...then it is organic and natural...you see without regulation anything goes.
Beautycounter's "Never List" (ingredients we'll never use when formulating our products) is 1500+ long and growing every day.
There are approximately 85,000 chemical substances that have been introduced into commerce since World War II. The majority of them have not been assessed for their long term impact on human health. And remember, just because something is labeled a "chemical" doesn't mean that it's unsafe! We hear things like "I want chemical free products" a lot - but when you think about it, water is a chemical.
How can you tell if what you're using is safe?
Step 1: Use our “Never List”.
Step 2: Check out how your products rate on the non-profit Environmental Working Group’s “Skin Deep” database.
Step 3: Educate yourself, Knowledge is Power and you have plenty of it.
Step 4: Urge Congress to pass new laws that will remove these harmful ingredients from our products!
