EWG (Environmental Working Group)

I have to admit something😳

…. I have a new obsession… .

and it’s not Beautycounter products per say, but does relate! 😉

It’s this awesome website and app called Environmental Working Group (aka EWG).

https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/#.WndtBvmnHIU

I have a serious addiction to checking✅ all of our products in our house and seeing what “score” they get 🙄

You can simply type your products name into the search bar or scan it into the app, and bada bing bada boom ⚡ there it is! It’s that easy (and really fun)!🙌

If a product is EWG certified, that means it is the safest and that the company has identified every single ingredient and nothing is hiding in a tricky term. A 10 would be very toxic, as in, should be thrown out TODAY!

I have found (through my 1.000’s of scans😂) that sometimes a product will have a score around 3 or 4, but when I click in to see more of the information, often the companies haven’t disclosed all of the components that go into making it, so the score is only derived from the information that EWG has access to. Most likely this would be the ingredients listed on the back, which to the naked eye may look okay…. However, there are many things that potentially could go into a let’s say the word fragrance. For example, they could be essential oils which would be GREAT👍, or they could be derived from chemicals👎

I could talk about this for hours so if you have time feel free to give me a call🤙, but otherwise try it for yourself!

Now how does this link to BC, wellllllllll 34 of our 107 products are EWG certified AND none of our products score above a 3🙌💙💋!!
