You guys know by now, that I’m all about doing what’s best for my body. More and more these days, I’m learning about how different things affect our planet. I’ve started using reusable bags more often, but what about plastic we didn’t suspect?
Recently I learned from HealthPost and their ‘Good Ingredients Promise’ just how bad Plastic Microbeads really are. These tiny plastic particles that are frequently used in cosmetics for exfoliating, can be smaller than 5mm, and in one product alone there can be over 100,000 tiny beads! These pass down our bathroom drains, and because they are unable to be filtered, unfortunately end up in the ocean. This becomes microscopic litter in our ocean that is impossible to remove. Because these micro-plastics aren’t biodegradable, they accumulate in the water and are often mistaken for food by sea animals and sea birds, posing a great threat to all marine life. Confronting, right?
Fortunately, there are many natural and eco-friendly alternatives you can use as part of your beauty routine that are healthier for you and the planet!
I have teamed up with HealthPost to bring you this super exciting giveaway to celebrate NZ following suit: banning plastic microbeads from shelves in June this year. But, it’s not just plastic microbeads that we should worry about… It’s other chemical ingredients too that can have potentially negative health consequences and can also cause damage to the environment.
So, we have an AMAZING range of natural skincare to give away – free from plastic microbeads AND free from nasties!
