New Health Challenge
September’s challenge: analyzing ingredients in cosmetics and household products! We talk a lot about what ingredients in food are healthy, but cosmetics and household products have been sorely neglected here at Living Healthy in the Real World. This month we are going to look at what ingredients are safe to use, what ingredients are toxic, and some of the best brands that you can choose for personal health and environmental health reasons.
Watch the video below to see my product review of Better Than Cover, a cosmetic product that is advertised as natural and mostly-organic, and to learn more about the ingredients that I researched in this product from Therapy Systems.
This is my first video blog post! The next ones will be shorter and will contain fewer “um”‘s. Any feedback is appreciated!

Haven’t yet watched the video blog, but will!
Hmmm, sounds like the green show might be the perfect place to find the things you’re looking for…
I looked into the green show and it actually DOES seem to be something that would have lots of good information… wonder if there’s any way to snag a media pass? 🙂
Great video! I just purchased Better Than Cover as well and it perfectly hides all my blemishes. It makes me seem like I have flawless skin – I WISH!
If I used any of these products I would lose my man card! However, I totally support what you are saying and also NO animal uses for testing.
I’m rating you video PG for a minor wardrobe malfunction, lol!
*coughs awkwardly* yeah, that was unfortunate…
Thanks for mentioning the animal testing aspect – that’s something I’m going to have to talk about on another day for sure!
Love this & I read a lot about this in my Care2 “e” newsletters.. pretty scary on some of the stuff! I need some of the cover up! 😉
PS: Found you from Roy!
Loved it! Thanks, Sagan!
