WHY TOXIC FREE IS THE WAY TO GO IN SKINCARE
With the beauty industry continuing to grow at a rapid pace, it can be difficult to navigate all of the toxic skincare ingredients to avoid. Especially since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ONLY banned or restricted about 30 chemicals vs the European Union which currently bans over 1,300+ chemicals from its beauty products.
So why does this matter to you?
On average, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that women use 12 personal care products a day, exposing themselves to 168 chemical ingredients. Yikes!
That’s a lot of ingredients to be applying to our skin every day. And that doesn’t even take into account the other chemicals we’re likely being exposed to throughout the day, such as pesticides, flame retardants, and air fresheners. That’s a lot of ingredients to be applying to our skin every day.
No need to worry though - we’ve got your back. At Laurel & Reed we are obsessive when it comes to our standards on ingredients, formulas and performance.
