Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.

I don't know about you, but I've found it challenging to find a lot of clean anti-aging products on the market. That may be an entirely separate episode, so today we're focused on looking through our makeup bags and uncovering our good-better-best options in clean cosmetics. 

When I was having fertility issues, I immediately started looking through my makeup bag. If you weren't aware, chemicals commonly found in most of today's ready-to-go cosmetics often include highly toxic additives, carcinogens, and endocrine system disrupters. These EDCs like to mimic our own hormones and bind to our receptors wreaking havoc on our health. You probably recognize chemical names such as parabens, phthalates, polyethylene glycol, and even metals like mercury. Honestly, for those of you who have been struggling with infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, or adenomyosis, this one is for you! Stay away from these harmful chemicals. 

Consider products like:
- Schmidts
- Rise Well
- MyCHELLE
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Young Blood
- Honest
- Ilia
- Replica
- Rescue Remedy

And please utilize the resource I reference: Environmental Working Group ewg.org
