The 8 Best Organic Lip Glosses (You Are What You Eat)

I recently read women ingest nearly 4 pounds of gloss/lipstick in their lifetime. Considering I am constantly applying the two throughout the day I am going to assume I consume even more. That’s rather gross and scary! We live in a country where cosmetics companies don’t necessarily have to put every ingredient on the label (and from other countries it can be even worse) so it can be rather difficult to find glosses with color and saturation we like that are non-toxic. Therefore, if we are indeed ingesting even the teeniest the minimum amount shouldn’t we be concerned what’s in the products we are applying? I frankly never really gave it much thought. Until now.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

It would seem since everyone today is so concerned with GMO’s, organic, gluten, wheat and everything else we eat, why aren’t we thinking about our gloss/lipstick? I mean at some point we ingest some of it. It doesn’t all disappear on to our napkins. So why shouldn’t glosses and lipstick should be as safe as possible?

YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

EXPERT TIPS FOR CHOOSING NON-TOXIC GLOSSES/LIPSTICKS

Stay clear from parabens (which can mess with our hormones) and philates (which can interfere with our with hormones and reproduction). Formaldehyde releasing ingredients of all sorts are bad for you, butylated hydroxinisol (BHA) is a carcinogen, oxybenzone has claims to protect lips from the sun but can cause cell damage and lead is bad for obvious reasons. Even fragrance can mean some of the harmful ingredients above are hidden in the scent. So be sure to read the labels even if the package says organic, etc.
