Toxic Ingredients in Cosmetics and products

Have you ever read what's in your beauty products ? I have and that is why I have stopped using most of the cosmetics I use to use . Now once in a while I use nail polish and have no choice but to use regular shampoo and conditioner since it is so expensive and not that natural here . My hand soap must have all natural ingredients due to my sensitive skin . 
Check out these links below that will help you make the decisions about how to choose your beauty products . There is so much information on this it is unbelievable . I also have a youtube channel called moominu that discusses more on these topics .
 I use regular toothpaste because I can't find natural ones on the market . I try the best I can . For using deodorant I stopped buying it and now make my own ! 
What about you , what choices are you making to be more healthier ? Please feel free to share . My blog is very reader friendly . Also do share this blog with blog friends if they are interested . Thank you !

For toothpaste the easiest part is to buy baking powder and mix it with cinnamon powder and or peppermint e. oil or another e. oil that will make a good taste .  I got the cinnamon idea from I book I got from the library but forgot the title since it was so long ago . If you go to the library you will be able to find so many books on this topic .
