Introducing BEAUTYCOUNTER

Recently, my journey to reduce/manage exposure to environmental toxins lead me to Beautycounter. I love this company for so many reasons. I've mentioned elsewhere that I have been using Environmental Working Group's cosmetics database, Skin Deep, to check my personal care products and to find safer alternatives. While I am thankful this database is available (and I encourage everyone to use it), I am ok with having the work done for me. See, I have spent many many hours using this tool, and the work is never done. Just when I think I'm all set, the formulation of one of my products changes or the product is discontinued! Then, back to the drawing board I go. With Beautycounter, the work has already been done. 

• BC uses safer ingredients.
• BC does not compromise on product performance or safety.
• BC reviews emerging data on cosmetic ingredients regularly using the best methods available, and we even commission our own studies when more information is needed.
• BC does not test products or ingredients on animals.
• When formulating our products, BC prohibits the use of over 1,500 harmful or questionable ingredients. (Side note: did you know the cosmetic industry is virtually unregulated?!)

So, after all that, I'm pretty much sold. High performing products using safer ingredients. ✅
But there's more! Beautycounter's mission is to get safer products into the hands of everyone. And they deliver on that mission in 3 ways: 

1. Creating and distributing safer products
2. Educating the public about the need for safer products
3. Urging the government to pass laws to better regulate the beauty industry

Ok, once again, I'm sold. Educating the public? Advocating for better laws that protect public health from harmful ingredients commonly used in the beauty industry? ✅ ✅

​And now for the icing on the cake! Beautycounter generously donates to non-profit organizations that align with the company’s mission! This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Prevention Month,, BC is partnered with Breast Cancer Prevention Partners and Keep-A-Breast Foundation. More info here.

If I've piqued your interest, I'd encourage you to get involved!
