THE WIFE Guide: Non Toxic Beauty Products

THE WIFE ™ wants the best for herself and her family. After recently  finding the smart phone app Think Dirty, which tells you how toxic your everyday personal care products are, we realized chemical are used in everything we use. Did you know that the average woman applies more than 200 chemicals to her skin by using her skin care products in one day? Did you know that 60% of these chemicals are further absorbed into your bloodstream?

 From deodorant and toothpaste to shampoo and conditioner, all of  these contain toxic ingredients that contain endocrine disruptors, leading to cancer, autoimmune diseases and other illnesses. So it’s time to make the healthier, more natural and eco-friendly choice.
