What's this Greenwashing, we keep hearing about? How do we avoid it? What should we do?
With so much "Greenwashing" in advertising and on every product label nowadays, (whether it be food or bath & body products) it can be very difficult & confusing to know just how natural, green, organic or healthy a product really is...YES...even some of those found & sold in health food stores are NOT actually GOOD for you. YIKES!
Don't let the green colors, nature scenes & pretty butterflies fool you. Many still contain questionable, toxic & harmful ingredients.
Crazy, sad & frustrating but true. Just when you think you're making a good choice...you've been tricked by deceptive green marketing. With more consumers deciding to make healthier choices or what they think are healthier choices, companies are scrambling to comply. These companies figure they can sell more products with a "shady" green claim. Scary stuff.
Did you know, that these companies are actually making up their own certification processes (meaning they do whatever they want to) & slapping their own made-up, bogus labels & claims on products. As consumers, we need to stop buying based on price or what we would normally buy. We need to use our purchasing power to make a difference. A REAL, educated difference.

If it says, Natural it must be made from nature, right? NO!!!
If it says, Organic it must mean the same as USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC, right? Absolutely, NOT!!!! Always look for the USDA seal. No seal, not certified. Never take a companies word for it on ingredients alone. Without the seal, forget it.
If it says, Non-Toxic it must mean the same as Toxic-Free, right? NO WAY!!!!!
Non-Toxic means that chemicals are buffered by using other chemicals to make the product less harsh. Toxic-Free uses only the purest & safest natural ingredients.

Green-washers will go to any length to fool you. It's up to YOU not to let them.

Are YOU Ready for a Change?
It has been my mission for over 10 years to spread awareness about toxic dangers and to find the safest, purest, organic products for my family and friends.
Aside from making my own, finding products that are USDA Certified Organic, that meet my important ingredient standards (completely transparent), that are not tested on animals, that actually work, and that are priced affordably can be very hard to find.
Luckily, I’ve already done the research so you, my friend don’t have to.
So, whether you’re jumping on the “green” bandwagon, starting to read labels, already a crunchy mom or just beginning to wonder about how safe your baby's “natural” shampoo really is…I am HAPPY to help. Change isn’t easy, but it’s easier when you have someone to do it with. Start small, but start SOMEWHERE. You, your children, your family, your future & our planet are worth it. YOU can make a DIFFERENCE!
