Ingredient Education

Well, I'm back. Apparently this really is a series now. 😂 Last time I talked about “phthalate-free” and how two little words on the front of a product don't necessarily tell us the whole story. This week I'm moving on to one that I probably see even more often — “ALL NATURAL.” It's everywhere. Soap, skincare, cleaning products, candles, supplements, pet products, food…you name it. Throw those words on a pretty package with a few green leaves and somehow the product immediately feels a little healthier, a little safer and a little better for us. But here's what got me thinking about it....

Okay, This Bugs Me… #1 “Phthalate-Free!” Okay… But What Else Is In There? Well, apparently I'm blogging again. 😂 It's been a while, but I've been wanting to start something like this for some time now. Okay, This Bugs Me… is a new series where I'm going to dig into ingredients, labels and some of those marketing claims we see everywhere — basically, the things that make me stop and think, “Wait…what does that actually mean?” Each blog will tackle something different, and I'm pretty sure I already have enough things bugging me to keep this going for a while. 😂 I'm not here...
