Have you ever wondered what the lubricating strip is on the razors you use? I remember when I was younger, I would always pull them off the razor after they got soggy in the shower because I thought it was gross 😂 I had no idea what really goes down in the chemical makeup of razors but now that I do, it’s something I feel strongly about sharing. Are the lubricating strips on razors toxic? Most razors…

Through my nontoxic journey and learning about the things we use in our lives that can have negative effects on our health, I’ve learned about what’s the big deal about nail polishes and I am excited to share it and offer a solution to you wanting pops of color (or neutral) on your nails. “People get really upset about phthalates in plastics, but they don’t think about what’s in the cosmetics they’re applying directly to their skin,” study co-author Kate Hoffman, a researcher at Duke University, told Yahoo News . “The skin is an…
