I am passionate about sustainability in style and believe that knowledge gives us the power to affect change by making better decisions. I am concerned about heavy metals in conventional dyes, which penetrate the clothing we wear over our skin because it can off gas into our bodies as our vulnerable glands sweat. Lead, cadmium and many other hazardous ingredients are also in conventional cosmetics. Natural dyes, derived from plants, are free from heavy metals and future focused companies like @beautycounter not only excludes these dangerous ingredients but continues to test their products for trace amounts. At my natural dyeing class this week I mentioned a great BeautyCounter story while talking about our rose petal dye bath. Trace phthalates were turning up in a BeautyCounter product featuring rose petals; After much investigation it was determined that the bags the petals were being harvested into were plastic, and condensation in the heat caused the leaching chemicals. They remedied the situation by now harvesting the petals into burlap bags. Well, that's a company I want to be a part of - and I AM! And you can be too! As a BeautyCounter Consultant I am proud to offer incredible skincare and cosmetic products through my website as an addition to the sustainable style offerings Themis and Thread facilitates, like natural dyeing, custom bridal, organic cotton fashion, second hand style and vintage redesign. BeautyCounter was so aligned with my passions and concerns that joining the #BetterBeauty Movement as a consultant was a no-brainer. Right now there is a 15% off friends and family sale to get you started on your non toxic bath and beauty journey! I hope you'll start it with me today at themisandthread.com and continue to dig deeper before making your next fashion or makeup purchase. ☠ ⚗ 🌿 . . . #betterbeautymovement #heavymetals #heavymetalspoisoning #toxicfashion #toxiccosmetics #beautycounter #beautycounterconsultant #nolongercomplacent #complacent #bethechange #cleanswap #nontoxicbeauty #sundayread #beachreading #summerstudies #mywhy #sustainablestyle #stylematters #fashionblog #beautyblog #summerstyle #sustainablesummer https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BurDUACbh/?igshid=110t49fbe8ay4
