"Have you ever stopped to wonder about whats in your skincare products? Have you perhaps picked up a label and read it, but not understood any of the ingredients? If youve done either of these things, then youre obviously concerned; and so you should be. Ive created a book, to help you navigate whats in the personal care products that youre using and are exposed to on a daily basis, so that you can understand and learn how to read a label, and avoid products containing chemicals that could be harmful to you and toxic to the environment. The book hinges on an A-Z Blacklist which cites the most commonly used ingredients that are incorporated in a large array of personal care and makeup products. There is a dossier of evidence based research and supporting documents with findings in relation to these ingredients. While this is intially confronting, once youre armed with knowledge, you can make informed decisions to reduce your overall toxic burden. Being informed is knowledge; and knowledge is power. It allows you to leverage yourself. It’s not about acting out of fear and panic, but rather a process of elimination to protect yourself and make informed choices. This approach can help you gradually transition to a skincare and personal care routine that aligns with your health and wellbeing goals."
