Summary

Just because a product is marketed to babies or kids doesn't mean it's safe, and new research published just last week has alarming things to say about the presence of phthalates in personal care products for children. While minimalists know that excess stuff harms our emotional well-being and mental loads, *sustainable* minimalists understand that products can harm our physical health. On today's show: Applying the tenets of sustainable minimalism to the hair and skin products our children use each day. Here's a preview: [7:00] If phthalates make plastics flexible and bendy, what on earth are they doing in personal care products? [10:00] Don't see the term 'phthalate' on a product's ingredients list? That doesn't mean it's phthalate-free!
