According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, “More than 1 in 5 personal care products contain chemicals linked to cancer, 80 percent contain ingredients that commonly contain hazardous impurities, and 56 percent contain penetration enhancers that help deliver ingredients deeper into the skin.”
It may just be a little bit here and a little bit there, but all the chemicals add up, especially when you think of all those layers you’re putting on your body: wash, lotions, facial cleanser, moisturizer, toner, primer, foundation, lipstick…
It makes you think twice about your morning beauty routine.
Sorting though all the cosmetics in the store can be tricky, some products claim they are “natural” but still contain harsh chemicals. Thankfully, the wonderful women at Elements of Carytown are passionate about safe, effective and luxurious skincare. In fact, if they wouldn’t wear it, they won’t sell it.
Elements of Carytown is a family-owned beauty product boutique specializing in luxury and top quality natural and organic bath, body, and skin care products for men, women and children. Elements of Carytown only carries brands that are free from harsh chemicals and animal testing and are kind to you, your family, and the earth. Their natural and organic products are safe and an effective alternative for people who are concerned about the effects of conventional body care and skin care products on their overall well-being.
Elements of Carytown is located in Carytown, the historic shopping district of Richmond known for local, independently owned shops, boutiques and restaurants. Shoppers visit Carytown to find the unique, the unusual, and the hard-to-find high quality products for creating a beautiful life. We are proud to say Elements of Carytown fits right into the neighborhood.
