Episode Title: WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN YOUR SKIN PRODUCTS?
Episode Synopsis:
- Do we really know what is in our skin care products? Become a label reader, the FDA does not always regulate what goes into skincare products
- There are watchdog groups that have stayed on top of testing and in contact with the FDA
- Things to avoid parabens, methoyl paraben, definitely want to avoid those ingredients
- Companies are really starting to step up and be more transparent with the ingredients and being “cruelty free”, “paraben free”, etc.
- Lemongrass Spa Products are all natural products, skincare, body lotion and now baby products
- Individual sales consultants who walk you through the best products for you
- They support their independent consultants with their specific charity work
- October is their pink campaign and they sell a healing balm and a portion of those sales go to companies who help support women who have been diagnosed

Just a quick podcast to talk about how I have been working through my own struggles with pain, survivor’s guilt, the everyday craziness of life.
