Better Beauty Lover

The NYTimes just published an article on the harmful chemicals found in many of our personal care products.

As Beautycounter consultants and clean beauty advocates, we are beyond excited to see this issue posed in such a thoughtful and informative way.

Decades of research show a link between daily exposure to certain harmful chemicals and negative health outcomes, but the issue is complex and nuanced.

This is why Beautycounter works with leading academic researchers and scientists, including Dr. Ami Zota, Associate Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, who is quoted throughout the piece.

Dr. Zota plays an active role on Beautycounter’s Science Advisory Council, and supports us in building our approach to safety.

A whopping 241 of our clean products are EWG certified so you can rest assured that they are safe for you and are your loved ones.

When you choose to support Beautycounter as a client, a Band of Beauty member or by being a brand advocate like we are, you help support our mission of getting safer products into the hands of everyone. 💙✨

If you have questions, or you’d like to learn more about becoming a brand advocate, send us a message or visit our link.

Thanks NYTimes for shining a light on this critical topic and featuring our company's actions for change!!

One of my favorite things about Leucadia / Encinitas is the amount of amazing coffee shops within just a mile or two! No joke I can walk to nine coffee shops 😉👍🏻🙏

What are your favorite coffee places? What is your favorite go to drink?

I’m all about the oat mocha ☕️

Beyond blessed for these memories that we made the past few days🙏. A few highlights included visiting the new pier, freezing at Zoolights, to four generations hanging out at Christmas,to visiting the St. Augustine Wide life Reserve, lots of great seafood on the water and of course games at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club. Love my family ❤️ and can’t wait for our next holiday together.

Merry Christmas from Ponte Vedra Beach!

Making time to enjoy the beauty of our world🌎. Love living so close to this beautiful beach in Leucadia!

So thankful that we finally got together. It’s been two years since I’ve seen one of my favorite humans on this planet! I’m so glad we were able to connect in Temecula even for only a few hours. Oh and Cork | Fire Restaurant was super good!!!

Back in 2014 when I came across Beautycounter’s website, I knew very little about the beauty industry & never even thought about our skin being our largest organ & what we put on it matters.

Did you know? the last time a major federal law was passed governing the products we use every single day was 1938. 🤔The average women use 12 cosmetic products a day (168 chemical ingredients) where roughly only 15% of the ingredients have ever been tested for safety. The US currently only bans 30 ingredients while EU bans over 1400. this 60-billion-dollar industry is governed by only 1.5 pages… Not sure about you – but all of this is just crazy😖!

I started to think about how so many friends were going through fertility issues, that only 1 in 8 breast cancers are genetically related, that kids are more ill than ever, the list goes on, I just knew that I had to get involved in making this world 🌎safer and more sustainable by educating people on making simple safer switches.

I was attracted to how Beautycounter sourced their ingredients with a higher standard of safety and quality in mind. I love that they have a NEVERLIST of over 1800 ingredients that will never be used in any of their products while having a 12-step process for defining clean. And what other beauty company lends their voice for change – taking these important health topics all the way to Washington DC?

As someone who loves chic products that perform (at the time was using La Prairie, SkinCeuticals, Neocutis, Nars, Urban Decay,) I love that I didn’t have to sacrifice effectiveness when making the switch to Beautycounter. It’s no surprise that celebrities and press agree as over the years we have earned numerous awards, including ⭐️Fast Company's Most Innovative, Allure's Best of Beauty, Glamour's Beauty Awards, Refinery29's Innovators List, WWD's 2019 Best-Performing Beauty Company, and CNBC's Disruptor 50 to name a few.

It’s been an honor 🙏these past eight years to serve & support my community, from the amazing clients to my awe-inspiring team and I’ve loved all the peers I’ve met. The work we do can be hard, but it is 100% worth it!

Never take for granted the beauty of nature and great friendships. Something I love so much about Cali are all the beautiful hikes and my girlfriends.
