Wanna give good face without the parabens?

The Bite:
As many-a-Biter knows, parabens are synthetic preservatives that can disrupt hormones - and they're everywhere, even your makeup bag. Next time you primp, use paraben-free cosmetics for gorgeousness inside and out.
The Benefits: 
  • Get glam. These cosmetics look fab - freedom from parabens is an added bonus.
  • Better for Biter bodies. Cosmetics ingredients aren't regulated by the FDA, so you gotta take extra precautions on what your largest organ (yeah, your skin) consumes.
  • Better for the earth, since the chems that we wash off our bodies often end up in nature.
Personally Speaking: 
A self-proclaimed cosmetics junkie, Heather scans new beauty finds at Skin Deep, an online database of skin care and cosmetic products ranked by safety.
Wanna Try: 
Avoid ingredients with the word "paraben" at the end and freshen up your makeup bag with our fave finds:
