One of my goals is to steer readers towards better beauty products, but I will also try to steer you AWAY from the worst offenders as well. Check out this link about the “11 beauty products that may be ruining the planet” so you can start to make more informed beauty product purchases. A quick excerpt of one prime example:  Sudsy shampoos and soaps Where there are bubbles, there’s usually sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), two harsh surfactants that are known eye and skin irritants. SLES is the gentler of the pair, but it is often contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, a probable human carcinogen, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When this chemical swirls down your drain, it enters the waterway and can build up in marine life. Buy bottles labeled “sulfate-free.” You won’t get the same bubbling action, but your hair will get clean — guaranteed. mothernaturenetwork: Take a closer look at what’s inside typical beauty products — the facts get pretty ugly. From harsh chemicals that pose health risks to the prevalence of petroleum-derived ingredients, you might be surprised to learn that what’s inside all those bottles and tubes is ruining the planet.11 beauty products ruining the environment Via Mother Nature Network
