Mascara

You were probably taught from a young age to keep dangerous chemicals away from your eyes, but every time you swipe on mascara on your way out the door, you’re putting mercury and aluminum right in one of your body’s most sensitive areas.

Mercury is well known for its toxic effects on your nervous system, and aluminum further inhibits your body’s ability to detoxify the mercury. Steer clear of this dangerous combination and use coconut oil for a safer shine.
