We all know how important it is to nourish our body, and sometimes we forget about our bodies largest organ... the skin! The skin is your largest organ and absorbs 60% of what you put on it. Think about this for a second… According to the Environmental Working Group, the average woman uses 12 “beauty” products per day, containing about 168 ingredients. That’s a lot of ingredients you’re putting into your body, and if we're not careful many of those could be toxic!
