In contrast to our workplace, the beauty industry and spas often have a high carbon footprint and use ingredients and packaging that pollute the earth and oceans with microplastics. In fact, “the average woman puts 515 synthetic chemicals on her body every day without knowing. And 60 percent of what we put onto our skin is absorbed into our bodies.” (Source: Huffington Post)
