Why are commercial beauty products harmful?
They contain harmful chemicals that can disrupt hormones, creates infertility, and potentially cause cancer. Some of the toxins in conventional beauty products are parabens (on the labels, they can show as propylparaben, butyparaben, isobutiparaben), butylated compounds, pthalates and more. Toxins like fragrance, or parfum, are unregulated and may disguise hundreds of different harmful compounds.
For all those reasons, it is a great idea to do your own body care recipes and to store them in containers that you know are safe.
