Here at The Simplicity Project, we talk a lot about changing up the types of products that you use on your body, your skin and we encourage you to choose your cosmetics wisely. But we don’t often talk about how you are storing these products. So many of our products are stored in plastic containers, which can contribute to hormone imbalance, as many plastics contain estrogen mimickers. Plastic containers also contain harmful additives such as BPA, and other epoxy resins.

Just because your container says BPA-free doesn’t mean it’s safe for daily use. Check out this article written by CNN, “BPA-free plastic alternatives may not be as safe as you think” to learn more. Read the full article here.

For this Mindset Monday, I encourage you to switch your products into glass containers, and in this video I share a little bit more about why.
