Is Your Makeup Safe? Get to Know Ava Anderson!

Do you know what you are putting on your face? Do you know what affects it may have on you in the future? Who is making sure cosmetics have safe ingredients? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can’t even read some of the ingredients on the list of things like toner, bronzer and even fragrance! Right now the federal government has no safety standards for cosmetics and other personal care products! That means all the scrubs, slathers, liners, dusters, bronzers and glosses are potentially unsafe, especially for teens who tend to sample more products daily than the average adult female.

Teens now need to make healthy choices for themselves by reducing the number of products they use that may be hazardous to your health. You can check out this site,  Organization Environmental Working Group, The Power of Information, to answer many questions about what many cosmetic products and their ingredients can do to the human body, especially a developing teenager. They have lists of makeup companies and products to avoid, with a comprehensive list of ingredients, as well as a Shopper’s Guide to Safe Cosmetics, to select safer products.

Organizations like EWG are demanding that companies, reformulate products to protect consumers from exposure to potentially toxic chemicals, untested ingredients, and noxious impurities.

16 year old Ava Anderson is paving the way for big name cosmetic companies to follow, by creating a makeup and skincare line that is 100% safe. Anderson’s quest to find an answer led to a meeting in New York with a cosmetics manufacturer who took up the challenge to create a truly non-toxic skin care and cosmetics line. One, as Anderson insisted, that would pass the Cosmetics Database tests with all zeros. Ava’s first six skin care products are built around a core cleansing and moisturizing routine that everyone can use. Formulated with truly safe ingredients, they provide gentle cleansing, moisturizing, conditioning, nourishing and protection for every day healthy skin.
