We invest with every dollar we spend, every business we promote. Why not invest in those that put effort into making a difference. Those companies that take the time to research ingredients and those that think about the impact their manufacturing has on the environment.

why green hair?

The average adult uses 10 personal care products a day. Each of which aren’t meant to sit on the skin, they are meant to penetrate it.
The FDA has no regulations on personal care ingredients before they are put on the shelf.
89% of the ingredients in beauty care products are unevaluated chemicals.
Some ingredients are known to have negative effects on your health including hormonal disorders, skin irritation, breast & ovarian cancer, birth defects, respiratory irritation, and many more.
Among the most toxic products are conventional hair colors. They contain ingredients that can be harmful to your health through skin penetration and inhaling. By using a non-toxic hair color that is free of gluten, sulfites, PPD, propylene glycol, parabens, resorcinol, ethanolamine, and has a non-toxic, less than 2% of ammonia formula, you eliminate mostly all health associated side effects including in most cases skin irritation.
If we have the ability to put our money into a company that has taken the time to do the research and choose safer ingredients, then I think it’s a no-brainer on which we should pick.
Most large companies take full advantage of not having to abide by any regulations and add harmful ingredients simply because it keeps the cost of manufacturing down. We do not believe that it is good business ethics to put money first. The consumer is most important and should have faith in these companies that are supposed to be providing us with safe products we use everyday.
Maggie Carvalho has done years of research and has tested products to not only provide the best ones that are free from any harmful chemicals but that also work.
