#216: How to Avoid Toxins in Personal Care Products
Today, I am thrilled to welcome Rachel Downey, a health and wellness advocate, to discuss how to avoid toxins in personal care products. Rachel, a mom of three, began her journey eight years ago, driven by her desire to make safer choices for her children.
Rachel shares that her journey started when her daughter experienced reactions to certain products, prompting her to explore and switch to safer alternatives. She emphasizes the importance of making "swaps," or replacing commonly used products with safer options. For example, when shopping for baby shampoo, instead of grabbing a familiar brand, she advises turning the product over and examining the ingredients.
