Rewind: #2000Reasons Why Our Community Turns For the Better

Back in June, we gave you 5 reasons why you should care about what’s in your skincare products. The key takeaway? It’s just as important to think about what goes on your body as what goes in it. We encouraged you to turn the box over and know what you’re putting on your skin.

Here at Biossance, we’re laser-focused on setting a higher standards for safety and environmental sustainability. That’s why we’ve banned over 2,000 potentially harmful ingredients from our products (remember: FDA regulations only ban 11). We even created a free clean beauty cheat sheet to empower you to make better choices when it comes to your beauty routine. Because you deserve better.

But this movement doesn’t end with us. We knew our reasons for setting the bar higher, but we wanted to know yours. So we challenged our community of over 2,000 clean beauty, health and fitness gurus to give us their reasons—#2000Reasons, to be exact. Today we’re putting the spotlight on some of our favorites, so read on and get inspired to choose healthier ingredients.

“because everyone deserves to experience the true beauty of nature.”@nadia_elise“I recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon and was awestruck once I glimpsed it. If we don’t stop the use of dangerous ingredients in our everyday products, especially those going directly onto our bodies, we won’t have the opportunity to experience nature’s breathtaking art.”

“because this body runs on nothing but the best!”@run.it.off“With the warmer training months upon us, protection from the elements is key no matter the length of your run. I may not always show it in my running pics, but I am almost always wearing my hat while I run in addition to sunglasses. I also always wear sunscreen and skincare products whose ingredients are not just good for me, but safe for the environment as well. This body has a lot more miles it needs to run, so I am doing what I can to keep my body protected and healthy.”

“because I value my health and being informed helps me do just that.”@summerperez“I've become much more mindful of what I put on my skin since I became pregnant because many substances found in beauty products can be absorbed and transported through the bloodstream. I wish I had a handy guide back then that would help me navigate through all the products as I turned over to check out the label... I probably spent triple the amount of time necessary at the store on my phone trying to figure out whether or not an ingredient was good for me (and my baby)."

“because having a strong, healthy body is a blessing I never want to take for granted.”@paula_koberda“Your skin is a reflection of your lifestyle. It will show what you put in and on your body. So I choose to eat as nutritiously as I can and keep my skin care regimen as natural as possible.”
