BEAUTY escape How about this statistic? Up to 60% of what goes on our skin is absorbed--so what we put on our bodies is as important as what goes in them. That’s why it’s so beneficial to go organic whenever possible. You might also want to know that mineral and organic makeups are not the same. Mineral makeup has components that are good for you, but they’re not all natural or organic. Try to avoid parabens, the preservatives that act as binders in cosmetics. –Joanna Schlip
