1. Toxic Chemicals
Though this is a broad category, it’s important to know what you’re putting on and in your body. So many modern beauty products are chock full of dangerous, toxic chemicals that can potentially cause a whole host of health issues, from rashes to reproductive issues. A good rule of thumb is this: if you can’t pronounce an ingredient, stay away from it (or at least Google it!).
