In addition, I saw it fly around facebook and received some personal emails about people asking additional questions about toxic additives. YAY, I love being privy to that 'aha' moment in people's lives - it is truly inspiring!

I wasn't terribly surprised by what I read, with my background in American environmental history. My reaction to "Exposed" was that at a certain point, you can't really do all that much to limit your exposure to environmental contaminants. A lot of them come via mechanisms that we can't control or filter out. Not saying that we should just put anything and everything into our bodies, but I wonder how much good purchasing (lovely but often quite expensive) "natural" or organic products will make in limiting our overall chemical exposure. I think a better focus than individual consumption is state- and nationwide regulation of such substances.

I went to their website and I think I'd be most interested in their lotions/moisturizers, because those stay on your skin. Soaps and shampoos get washed off, so if I were trying to prioritize my purchasing, I'd go for lotions first.
I loved learning about the resources to help find safe products!

I have a link scheduled to post on my Sunday Surfin link post.
I always go to EWG to check out products.... sunscreen was a biggy this year, and with my daughters having eczema and asthma issues, we are always on top of what we put in and on our bodies. I love KMF products. My daughter did, however, have a reaction to a lavender lotion from KMF.... What a great giveaway!! I have so many great friends who could benefit from these products, too!
I like KMF on FB
olive & aloe fragrance free ultra moisturizer is definitely a product I would love to have... for my family, and for my doula clients who might me sensitive to smells during labor massages!!
I was shocked to see that even today, with all of the information we have about the harmful effects of mercury that it is still found in products. It's scary and really shows how important it is to really look at what we're buying and using.
I never thought about face paint, and although it's not something we use every day, it ends up staying on my son ALL day. Who wants to wash off a Spiderman mask, right? It then reminded me of my "face paint" (aka: my daily make up routine). I'm so quick to watch out for my kiddos, but often make cheap, habit-based choices for myself. Thanks for the information and the giveaway opportunity.
I had no idea that parafins were dangerous. I just had my second daughter and had a pedicure while I was pregnant. Thank you for this information!
I liked Kiss My Face on FB!
I would never have thought fragrances, though of course typically not natural, would have so many possible adverse effects!
I did not know that collagen is considered a questionable ingredient, and comes from chicken feet. I knew about mineral oil, fragrances, dimethicones (silicones, -cones), mercury, lead and some others. "Exposed" was a very infortmative article! Great job!

I went to Kiss My Face site, and am interested in Kiss My Face shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste and moisturizers.

Learned that paraffins trap moisture in and don't let skin breathe properly...and that collagen is made from ground chicken feet!! Ick!
Love Kiss my Face stuff. I always have a "scent memory" of my favorite coffee shop from my hometown that *always* had Kiss My Face soap in their bathrooms. I can still smell that soap in my memory even now.
Better late than never, right?
