The Impact of Traditional Beauty Products

In an era where environmental issues are being highlighted, the beauty and personal care products we use daily come under scrutiny for their environmental and health impacts. From disposable sanitary products to deodorants and shampoos, the carbon footprint and health implications of these items demand our attention.

So, let's talk about how we can make better choices for both the earth and ourselves for a healthier and greener lifestyle.

Beauty products can cause pollution and waste. Conventional items like tampons, deodorants and shampoos are made with materials that don't break down easily, so they end up filling our landfills and polluting the oceans. Also, many beauty products contain chemicals that aren't good for our health, like causing skin irritation or even more serious health issues, like the hormone-disrupting dioxins found in many sanitary products.

Dioxins: A persistent organic pollutant; they are carcinogenic and have been linked to immune issues and hormonal disruption.
