If you're an expecting mom or already have kids, then you know how important it is to make sure you're using safe products with gentle ingredients. If you haven't heard of Beautycounter yet, it's a brand that was created by mom and wife Gregg Renfrew. She started the line after learning that all sorts of chemicals are legally allowed in many makeup and skincare items in the US. She wanted to create something that would be dedicated to providing cleaner and safer choices.
Renfrew worked hard to minimize the amount of harmful ingredients used in the line, and Beautycounter even has a "Never List" of more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals that the brand will never use. In addition to carrying makeup, hair products, and skin care, it also has a line for families that contains baby-safe products. It's never a bad idea to be cautious, so check out these holistic baby products.
