How to Avoid Toxic Chemicals in Personal Care Products
Monday, 3/25, 7-8pm. No registration is required.
|
Most people aren’t aware that the products they use on their largest organ (their skin) every single day contain toxic chemicals linked to adverse human health issues such as endocrine disruption, cancer, infertility and so on. In addition, people aren’t aware that the last time significant legislation was passed to protect the consumer from these harmful chemicals was over 80 years ago - in 1928. Please join local resident, Bernadette Fisher, as she leads a discussion on the most egregious chemicals to avoid, how to identify those within your products and how to find safer alternatives for you and your family.
*Please note: The information in this workshop is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. All content discussed will be for general information purposes only.
