Common makeup ingredients:
Fragrance
☝🏻 the average product labeled ‘fragrance’ has about 14 ingredients hidden behind that one word. Over 3,000 different ingredients are allowed to be labeled ‘fragrance’ and is legally protected for the sake of ‘trade secret’. The EWG found that over 75% of the ingredients hidden under ‘fragrance’ are pthalates, which are heavily linked to infertility, reproductive disorders, breast cancer, and diabetes.

Lead
☝🏻is a neurotoxin and can be dangerous even in small doses. Medical experts are clear that any level of lead exposure is unhealthy and has been linked to learning, language and behavioral problems. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics released results from an independent laboratory that tested 33 popular brands of lipsticks for lead content and found:61 percent of lipsticks contained lead, with levels ranging up to 0.65 parts per million. Lead-contaminated brands included L’Oreal, Cover Girl and Dior Addict.
In 2009 the FDA released a follow-up study that found lead in all samples of lipstick tested, at levels ranging from 0.09 to 3.06 ppm – levels four times higher than those found in the Campaign study. The FDA found the highest lead levels in lipsticks made by three manufacturers: Procter & Gamble (Cover Girl brand), L’Oreal (L’Oreal, Body Shop and Maybelline brands) and Revlon.

Talc
☝🏻Johnson & Johnson introduced baby powder made of crushed talc. The mineral can be found with asbestos in the earth, raising concern talc products are contaminated with toxic asbestos. In recent years, J&J has lost multimillion dollar lawsuits related to ovarian cancer caused by baby powder.

On and on and on... Do your research. Using Savvy Mineral makeup eliminates our toxic exposure to the alternative, and is 20% off from now until March 8th. I’d love to help you ditch those toxic products and get you using something that will give you confidence in the beauty of your decision.

I am so pleased as I have this option to introduce makeup to my daughter, especially for her growing hormones.

🌾Sweating in the summer? Try Wintergreen.

🌾Your feet need a break after the back-to-school hustle? Use Wintergreen.

🌾Needing a winter-will-never-end pick-me-up? May we suggest Wintergreen?

Don’t be misled by the name of this oil—Wintergreen essential oil has year-round benefits. And just like that cool guy or gal you’re always looking to hang with no matter the day, Wintergreen, with its brisk, cooling sensation, is the chilliest essential oil on the block.

🌿𝑺𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑶𝑼𝑺 𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑯
Wintergreen essential oil may smell sweet, but it packs a powerful punch—that’s why it features a safety cap. The main constituent, methyl salicylate, gives Wintergreen its crisp aroma and the chilly sensation you get when you apply it to your skin. You know the drill: Follow the label instructions and the benefits of Wintergreen will make this potent oil a go-to in your wellness toolbox!

🌿𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑭 𝑺𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑪𝑨𝑵 𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑨𝑿
When you use this potent oil topically, make sure to dilute 1 drop of Wintergreen with at least 4 drops of a carrier oil. Wintergreen is a hot oil, which means that you should always dilute when using it. After you’ve got the right ratio of Wintergreen to carrier oil, you’ll fall hard for this essential oil’s cool factor. Massage it into your shoulders, joints, and hard-worked muscles for a tingle that tells you it’s time to chill out.

✨YL tip: Harness this oil’s potential with Wintergreen-infused products: Ortho Ease®, PanAway®, and Deep Relief™.

🌿𝑨 𝑩𝑹𝑰𝑺𝑲, 𝑩𝑹𝑾𝑪𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳
Breath of fresh air in a bottle? Yes, please! More than anything else, Wintergreen is known for a punchy aroma that’s like breathing in snowy mountain air while heading down the ski slopes. That makes it ideal when you need a refresher: Combine a dime-size amount of coconut oil, 1 drop Wintergreen, and 2 drops Eucalyptus Radiata and rub onto your chest.

🌿𝑭𝑹𝑬𝑺𝑯 𝑭𝑳𝑬𝑿𝑰𝑩𝑰𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀
Working up a sweat on your yoga mat can be good for your mind, body, and soul, and it’s even better when your mat is clean and fresh. Focus on sun salutations, not sweaty smells, with this spray: Combine 1 cup water, ¼ cup witch hazel, 10 drops Wintergreen, and 10 drops Tea Tree in a spray bottle. Spray your mat, wipe it down, and your only worry will be mastering that forearm stand!

🌿𝑺𝑶𝑶𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑺𝑴𝑶𝑶𝑻𝑯
Like many of our essential oil favorites, Wintergreen-infused Maximum Strength Acne Treatment is a top performer in the skin care game. Because of its naturally derived maximum strength salicylic acid, you won’t need large amounts of this product to see buzzworthy results. In fact, just a dab or two of Maximum Strength Acne Treatment will have you obsessed with taking selfies.

🌿𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑬 𝑪𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝑶𝑭 𝑻𝑰𝑹𝑬𝑺 𝑻𝑶𝑬𝑺
You know what never gets a break? Your feet! Whether you’re traipsing around a new city, putting in miles to train for a half marathon, or taking advantage of your standing desk, your fatigued feet could use some TLC. Add a drop or two of Wintergreen essential oil to your preferred foot cream and give those tuckered out tootsies a soothing rub.

🌿𝑰𝑵𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑬 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑰𝑵𝑽𝑰𝑮𝑶𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑬
Now that your skin, muscles, and feet are on Wintergreen’s cool side, share the love with everyone else! Diffuse soft Lavender, herbaceous Rosemary, and sharp, sweet Wintergreen for an aroma that’s as appealing as walking a rocky beach coast at daybreak.

Wintergreen essential oil is the coolest of the cool, but why does this oil win your popularity contest?
