Mineral Hygienics and everyday minerals are great bc they also dont have a lot of other bad additives. Also "kiss my face, potent and pure- exfoliating face wash" is really good no sodium chloride either i am almost sure.

@xocoley718 I have almost bought kiss my face products several times...I think I might need to go ahead and get that one. Especially since I just ran out of my boscia facial polish. Thanks!

Hey, great video :) I was wondering if you have ever tried the Yes To Carrots line... I have used the face lotion, eye cream and night cream from that line so far and really like it a lot! I know that their products are also free of all those toxins you have mentioned. Just thought I would mention that and to also get your opinion :) Thx for sharing!

@vanillalattee7 I have tried the yes to line and I do like a few of their products.  I really like their cleansing wipes but otherwise I haven't found a stand out product. My skin wasn't crazy about the yes to tomatoes moisturizer. Let me know if there is one I should check out :)

gr8 informative video.. i def need to do an over haul of my products now thats so scary.. are parabens & phthlatates in all cosmetics foundations mascaras etc.. how can u tell with those type of things.. im so glad u did this video such an eye opener i never knew any of this.. ps.. were do u get the shower gel & lotion from the sound like they smell amazing.. thanx so much for the info

@chars411 Well...you can get LaVanilla at Sephora. All 3 ingredients I focused on are in most but not all personal care products. Sulfates are in cleansers that lather/bubble...and you can look for Sodium Lauryl or Sodium Laureth Sulfate in the ingredients. Parabens will also be in there. For Phthalates they won't be listed...look for "Phthalate Free" or at Least Fragrance Free on the label.

@bananas507 i like it i get the exfoliating one bc it doesnt have beads in it, it is like lemon so a natural exfoliant. it smells pretty good too and works better than the "clean for a day" one. hope you like it if you get it!

@bananas507 Gotcha :) I have only tried the yes to carrots line... and so far so good :) I have also tried the yes to cucumber cleansing wipes and I really like them! I'll let you know if I discover anything worth trying! Thanks again :o)
