Lately I have been just bombarded by new articles, emails and tweets concerning chemicals being found in our personal care and cleaning products which over the long run are harmful to ourselves, families and environment. The research is mounting but memorising all these dirty chemicals to avoid is taxing my brain.
So to all the beautiful women in my life, please print this out this handy pocket shopping guide from "Environmental Defence", listing all the chemicals to avoid and bring it with you in your purse.

It will allow you to avoid the following chemicals:
- Triclosan - found in products labelled "antibacterial"
- Artifical Musks - moisturiser, creams, hair products
- Parabens - too many personal care products to list
- Phthalates - ditto
- Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate - ditto
- Petrolatum - petroleum jelly
- Formaldehyde - from glade plug ins to cosmetics and hair products
- Silicone Chemicals
- Coal Tar Derived Colours - hair dye
- BHA & BHT
