Welcome to My Beauty Shop of safer skin care and cosmetics!
Did you know that the U.S. law that governs the $60 billion cosmetics industry was passed in 1938 and does not provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the power to ask cosmetic companies for safety data or issue recalls of cosmetics found to be unsafe. And, in the U.S., there are only 11 ingredients which are restricted or banned from cosmetics. Yea…..pretty crazy!
I’ve been on my “safer beauty care” journey for about 10 years now, ever since my then Ayurvedic practitioner gave me my first “Never List”! It’s been a joy to watch so many great companies rise up and join the cause! You can check out some of our current favorite companies at the bottom of this page.
Embarking on a journey towards safer beauty care is not only a personal choice but also a step towards prioritizing our overall well-being. As we become more conscious of the ingredients we put on our skin, it’s exciting to see the growth of companies that align with our values. Alongside the favorite skincare and cosmetic picks shared by Ben and myself, I would like to introduce another fantastic addition to your winter skincare routine: the bakuchiol serum by bareLUXE Skincare. This serum offers a natural and effective alternative to traditional retinol, harnessing the power of bakuchiol to support skin rejuvenation and a youthful appearance. By incorporating this serum into your regimen, you can nourish your skin with clean and safe ingredients, giving you peace of mind while enjoying the benefits of a radiant complexion.
Here are Ben & my favorite “safer” skincare and cosmetics picks for WINTER 2016. In the captions we talk about why we love them, so give them a read. Want to learn more or buy? Simply click on the photo. We are not sponsored for any of the products below, we truly love and use all of them. Anything we make from affiliate sales goes to keeping the lights on here at The Urban Poser, and it keeps the good Paleo treats coming!
