Thought I would get a thread going where we can put our recommendations for non PUFA/ non toxic beauty products. I just did a purge this weekend and got rid of the obviously bad stuff. (Bye bye Weleda body oils that I thought were healthy but now discovered are made with sunflower oil! Can't believe I was putting that crap on myself for so many years... no wonder I am PUFA city)
Here is what I am using currently:
HAIR
Live Clean or similar eco shampoo **open to replacement ideas but don't think I can go "no poo"
Vinegar rinse occasionally
BODY
Dr. Bronner's soap
Virgin coconut oil as body lotion and deodorant (if I use baking soda it gives me a rash)
FACE
Weleda toner/makeup remover as cleanser
Skinceuticals hyaluronic acid serum ** but this isn't very moisturizing, just don't have anything non PUFA!
Retin A at night
Occasionally aspirin or bentonite clay masks
MAKEUP
Jane Iredale mineral powder
Mineral Fusion or Korres mineral blush
RMS Beauty cream concealer, blush and lip colours (mainly coconut oil based)
Revolution Organics clear and pink lip/cheek sticks (shea butter based - is that a PUFA?)
Regular mascara and eyeliner (when I wear it) because I don't like the natural ones
Regular nail polish
FRAGRANCE
Lavanilla (they call themselves "the healthy fragrance" but who knows, probably estrogenic)
What do you use/recommend?
