Summertime: It means ice cream, the beach, and fun in the sun. It also brings its share of skin care woes. With so many products on the shelves, it can be hard to choose. Not to mention that the list of ingredients is a real alphabet soup!
For advice, I turned to Margot White, a longtime health educator and founder of online shop The Choosy Chick (TheChoosyChick.com). A wife and mom of four boys, White started her shop as a quest to carry health and beauty products that are safe for the entire family and free of toxic ingredients. Given that cosmetic companies are not required to disclose safety information to the Food and Drug Administration, White’s mission has turned into a long journey of research. The good news, she says, is that many great products are much more effective than their counterparts that contain toxic ingredients.
