Stop Buying Toxic Foundation—Your Skin and Hormones Deserve Better

Written By Karly Fitzgerald

🚫 Ingredients to Avoid in Conventional Foundations:

Most mainstream foundations contain:

  • Parabens – Linked to hormone disruption

  • PEGs (Polyethylene Glycols) – Can be contaminated with carcinogens

  • Synthetic Fragrance – A “hidden” ingredient that may include hundreds of undisclosed chemicals

  • Endocrine Disruptors – Chemicals that mimic or interfere with hormones in the body

These ingredients don’t just sit on your skin—they can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
