Hey everyone!!!
I just wanted to let you all know that if you buy our new spray sunscreen $3 goes to Stand Up to Cancer only for the next couple of days! 😍
This is super important to me because as you all know I joined Beautycounter because my mom was a cancer patient and she struggled to find safe alternatives for makeup and skincare. So the fact that BC supports not only changing the industry standard to be safer but also charities fighting the good fight really makes me happy 💪🏻🤩
So please check out our new sunscreen, it sprays on white so you can see where you put it and tubs in SO fast. I used it in NY the past 2 days and it was so easy. It also feels really light compared to a lotion.

Did you know May is Skin Cancer Prevention Month!?! 🤩
One of the easiest ways to prevent skin cancer is to practice better sun safety. All of our sun products are mineral formulas, using non-nano zinc oxide to safely protect skin from UV rays. ☀️
☀️SPRAY SUNSCREEN☀️
New product highlight on the Today Show this morning! A lot of new things happened this past weekend at the Beautycounter Leadership Summit- I wasn't able to be there in person but I was able to stream some amazing speeches!
💥air powered💥reef-friendly💥sprays white, dries clear, dries matte💥
One of my lucky friends WAS at Leadership and was able to purchase this and play with it- she says it is awesome! It sprays on white so you can see where it’s protecting, but dries clear and matte so no greasy, purple shine! She says "This isn’t just the best mineral (safer) sunscreen I’ve used, this is THE best spray sunscreen!"
Pre-order available now, shipping next week, and it’s available in full-size, travel size, lotion and stick! Can't wait for mine!!
🧡fun fact: the orange California Poppy is an ingredient used in our new sunscreen because it blocks harmful “blue light” from cell phones and other screens.

Let's talk about FRAGRANCE🌷🌿🌺🌱🌻
Plenty of cosmetics, skincare, and household cleaning products have "fragrance" in their ingredients list. Ever wonder why they don't tell you exactly WHAT that fragrance is?
Fragrance gets a free pass under the law—it’s the only ingredient that doesn’t have to say what it really is 🤔
Unfortunately, 'fragrance' is often the biggest culprit for allergic reactions and contact dermatitis... the solution?
🎉TRANSPARENCY!🎉
Companies should list every single ingredient used. Even better if they can also provide sourcing information.

Ingredient intelligence: What you need to know about fragrance Fragrance is the only ingredient listed on a beauty product label that's allowed to hide under a cloud of rose petals and doesn’t have to say what it really is.

'Hypoallergenic' And 'Fragrance-Free' Moisturizer Claims Are Often False People with skin conditions like eczema need moisturizers to treat their dry, cracked and reddened skin. But research suggests many moisturizers are mislabeled and can make the skin conditions worse.

I Tested This Natural Face Oil and My Skin Has Never Looked Brighter It's SO much more than a pretty bottle.
Mia Davis is Beautycounter's former Head of Health and Safety. Mia has a great history of having an impact on environmental safety. Remember the push to get BPA out of baby bottles? Mia was the driving force behind that campaign. So exciting to have had her with our company! She is one of the nation’s leading experts on environmental health.
Beautycounter is truly a mission based company whose endgame is to change legislation in this country so that one day our kids can walk into a store, pick up a bottle of body wash, and not have to be ingredient experts to know that it won’t be potentially harmful to their heath.
In March 2016, 100 Beautycounter consultants traveled to Washington D.C. to advocate for stricter ingredient regulation and held 90 meetings with Congressional representatives and Senators in 24 hours! This past March, in celebration of our four year anniversary, we held meetings with Congressional representatives across the country advocating for ! We believe every product on the market should be safe to use.

"There’s a tiny work force at the F.D.A. to deal with an enormous industry that’s currently self-policing. Voluntary reporting of adverse events linked to cosmetics and personal care products is a lot better than nothing, but it’s way inadequate for the job. There’s no legal requirement for manufacturers to forward reports of adverse events to the F.D.A.”

For Cosmetics, Let the Buyer Beware The government is powerless to act until a slew of consumer complaints raise a red flag about a product.
Fast Facts Friday:
✳ The average woman uses 12 products with 168 different ingredients daily... Some safe and some not so safe 😱
✳ Teens tend to use 40% more products than adults and the chemicals in these products can lead to hormone disruption, not great during puberty 😈
✳ Companies are allowed to list "Fragrance" as an ingredient without specifically saying what is in it that makes the fragrance...
