Nowadays, there has been a lot of talk around of living green. More and more information is coming everyday about what’s in the products we consume in our day to day life like plastic storage containers, shampoos, etc. It contains things like parabens, BPAs and phthalates.

Body care products have so much toxicity, food products have pesticides added to them, furniture and household materials have formaldehyde and there are chemicals in our cleaners. So there is no way out to run away or get rid off from these harmful things.
