For the safety of my daughter I became an ingredient detective, searching for brands that were safe and with transparency in publishing ingredients. I was shocked to learn that because of loopholes in the laws, it is completely legal for companies to use toxic chemicals in the products that we put on our bodies every day. In fact, the FDA does not screen the ingredients for safety in beauty and personal care products before they hit the shelves.
While there are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market today, many don’t have enough data or any safety data at all. While my daughter is doing fine today, it was a critical learning moment that propelled me to find my true passion, learn all I can, and ultimately curate a business where I can help others achieve beautiful, healthy skin through non-invasive methods and products.
