ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Green is the new blond, say the Green with Envy salon staff. This unique organic hair care studio is bringing clean fun to
residents in the Scottsdale, Arizona area. The salon's mission is to
provide a safe, healthy environment for clients and stylists alike by
keeping toxins at bay and ecological impact at a minimum. Seems like a win-win, seeing as how popular the salon has become in the community. Not only are all of the products organic and nontoxic, but the space itself was built from the ground-up with eco-friendly materials: A place for blonds, brunettes and redheads
everywhere to be envious about!
DIG DEEPER
- Green with Envy has taken many steps
to become a bona-fide green salon and strives to educate its customers
about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals found in traditional
beauty products. Learn more at their website's “What Makes us Green?” and “Why go Green?”
- Our FDA does not review or regulate the ingredients used in personal
care products no matter how toxic they may be. So find out about the safety of your personal care products,
from your toothpaste to your shampoo, by searching the Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetic Safety Database.
- Search HealthyStuff.org’s database
of more than 5,000 products and find out what chemicals are in all of
your stuff, from your car to your pet's chew toy. Healthy Stuff is a
project of the Ecology Center of Berkeley, California.
- The U.S. government provides very little regulation on what ingredients
are put into personal care products. In contrast, the European Union
uses the precautionary principle
to ban ingredients that have been suspected to have harmful effects.
Learn more about the difference between these policies (including
California’s more strict policies) by visiting this interactive tool
from NPR: Chemicals in the Home.
