Full Transcript Introduction to Clean Beauty 0:02 So today we just want to talk a little bit about beauty products. 0:05 So when I first started changing things in my life, of course, the first thing I went after was what I was eating. 0:11 And then I started thinking about, well, if I'm so worried about what i'm putting in body, what am I putting on my body? 0:16 And it can get real confusing, real fast to think about all this. 0:19 It's kind of a stepwise progression, and that happened to be the next thing that I thinking, about. 0:23 What lotions am i using? 0:25 What's in makeup? 0:26 It was like, oh my gosh, it's enough to make you go crazy. 0:28 But it really is something to thing about So, when i met Maria, I actually met her because she sells a product called Beauty Counter and wanted to get 0:36 me involved in it. 0:38 And at first, I was hesitant.
Discovering BeautyCounter 0:39 I'm not much of a salesperson. 0:40 But once I started using the products and just realized how much better they were for me, the quality of the ingredients, 0:46 that company's mission, was like, OK, well, let's go ahead and do this and share this with our customers at Synergy and at the studio as well. 0:54 So let us talk a little bit about like what's Beauty counter about. 0:59 It was so great to have Tara on board with Beauty Counter because she also owns a gym and I do the same thing. 1:06 And I thought this would be great for all of your customers as well as you personally. 1:11 They've been over 1,600 harmful ingredients from all of their products. 1:17 So it's really a company that we both know we can stand by and recommend to our customers and our friends and family with 100% faith that this is really 1:28 something safe that you can put on your body. 1:29 And it has been such a joy working with Terra and Beauty Counter and now becoming a part of Synergy is equally exciting.
Ingredient Safety and Regulations 1:38 For sure. 1:39 And some other things to think about to the US is the least regulated when it comes to what we put on our skin. 1:45 I think it was what the 20s, the last time that they were even a law was formed on what goes into beauty products, US bands, 1:52 what is it 20 something. 1:53 31 chemicals are banned. 1:57 31, that's it. 1:58 Clearly there's a lot of chemicals in this world and only 31 U.S. 2:02 regulates. 2:02 Canada's is a little bit better with 600. Europe has the highest standards banning 1,400 chemicals and their products. 2:09 And Beauty Counter takes it another step above and bans 1 ,600 chemicals on their product. 2:14 So things like aluminum, which are in a lotta makeup, talc. 2:18 A lot different things that really can affect us because of how fast it's absorbed into our system. 2:24 And I don't think people really think about how that's really, truly affecting their health. 2:28 It can affect your endocrine system. 2:31 You know, it can cause mood swings. 2:34 They can caused weight gain, infertility. 2:37 Prior to Beauty Counter, I was using products that contained petroleum and formaldehyde. 2:46 And, and I paying pretty good money for these products. 2:49 And they were performing well, but I had no idea what I was putting onto my skin. 2:54 And everything you put on to your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream within 26 seconds. 2:59 So once I learned that and once they learned what was in my products, I switched immediately to beauty counter and Tara can tell you more about what they
Why BeautyCounter Stands Out 3:09 don't put in their products. 3:10 Yeah, so things like formaldehyde, which of course you're familiar with that word is not good for us, parabens, sulfates, 3:16 aluminum, different talcs, dyes, fragrances is a huge one. 3:22 So none of which is used in Beauty Connors products, you can feel really comfortable that they perform well and you are putting something quality on your skin. 3:29 It should also be noted that Beauty Counter is a B corporation, which means that they are environmentally friendly and they have strict guidelines that 3:39 have to follow when they're making their products, packaging, and a lot of their product come in glass bottles. 3:46 And they just have adhere to certain standards in order to keep that B Corporation like other companies like Ben & Jerry's, 3:55 Patagonia, those are also B Corp. 3:58 companies. 3:59 that is what a big corporation is. 4:02 Yes, and the containers look amazing in the glass that they come in. 4:06 They're very special and fancy. 4:09 One of the things that people often think about when they're paying for their products are, well, how much is it? 4:14 So it's not, they are not inexpensive products. 4:17 We also get what you pay for, and those are things we have to keep in mind, but they're not going to break your wallet either. 4:23 So would you agree, Maria, on that? 4:25 Yes. 4:25 I mean, I think, in a sense, you get you what pay you for. 4:29 And if you want a clean product, who are going pay a little bit more.
Product Quality, Value, and Return Policy 4:33 But I don't think it's as high-end as some of the products out there that do contain harmful ingredients. 4:40 For sure. 4:40 Just thinking about the long-term repercussions as well on what your putting on your skin. 4:45 They also have a great return policy. 4:46 So if there's something you don't like within 60 days, they'll actually take it back for you, which is great. 4:51 So we feel really strongly about just telling everyone we know about Beauty Counter. 4:56 Yeah, and then lastly, I think what's most important is yes, we want to use clean products, but if they don't look good, 5:00 well, who cares what you're using, right? 5:02 So I've tried some other clean product that had decent ingredient profiles, just didn't looked good. 5:08 And we both have Beauty counter on right now, so you guys can let us know how our makeup looks today. 5:12 But we are happy with how they perform as well.
BeautyCounter Product Range and Closing 5:15 So low chemical and they work great. 5:16 Definitely something to think about changing to. 5:19 So if you're interested in beauty counter products, we have makeup, skincare, products for men, for children, shampoo, conditioner, 5:29 so many different things that you can choose from. 5:31 For sure. 5:32 So, if have any questions about anything Beauty Counter or otherwise, there are other companies that we like to use as well. 5:37 Beauty counter is kind of our main go-to, but if we get questions, give us a call. 5:40 We'll be happy to answer those questions for you.
