Teen Queens Turn Green

Did you know that there may be some seriously scary things inside our cosmetics? Though the FDA won't outright say anything, there are a few chemicals in some of our makeup products that some say could alter our hormones, contribute to cancer growth, or harm our skin. And there are some scientists out there who think that girls under 16 should only use natural cosmetics to prevent any serious unseen side effects.

What!?! But we're beauty freaks!

No, we're not trying to scare you! But we def need to get to the bottom of what's in our makeup , cleansers, and moisturizers. We've got our friends at TeensTurningGreen.com to inform us about these life changing facts!

These amazing activist teens are encouraging you and your buds to go as green as possible. And we totally think it's worth a major shot! Does this mean you can't use your amazing mascara that has a few of the Dirty Thirty ingredients? Of course not. Just use it sparingly! Docs speculate that it is everyday use that causes the suggested issues.

Check out the site and learn about some ways to green your cosmetics and your life! And perhaps start a chapter of your own!
