Make this one small change to your cosmetics (for a safer you and a greener world)

Okay, again, I admit, this is a steal from this month's beauty guide section in Real Simple. Again, apologies for not posting a link, but I think it is too recent to be on the online version.

Real Simple interviewed Jody Villecco, the coordinator for Whole Foods Market on global quality standards (pretty cool job!) about which small change to your cosmetic line up would have the biggest bang for the buck.

"If you would like to keep as many of your conventionally formulated favorites in your routine as possible but still minimize your exposure to synthetics, body lotion is the best switch to make." This is because it covers the largest percentage of your skin.

The article doesn't mention this, but I would imagine, you use more lotion in total than other products, so using a biodegradable/non-synthetic lotion is better for the world too.
