Choosing biodegradable beauty products is best, as fragrance oils create algae bloom when washed down sinks. This chokes oxygen out of the water, and harms marine wildlife. Try to also find beauty products in zero waste packaging, to avoid plastic pouches and tubes. Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies.
