Free work workshop on chemicals of concern in personal care products
Did you know that some personal care products such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant and cosmetics can contain chemicals linked to cancer, asthma, developmental disabilities and more? The Thurston County Public Health and Social Services Department is hosting an evening presentation about chemicals of concern in personal care products with tips to help you make smart consumer choices.
An environmental health educator will cover what the “chemicals of concern” are, why and how they are in our personal care products, how to read labels on these products, and how to be a smart shopper to keep looking and smelling good with safer products for you and your family. The workshop includes learning how to make your own all-natural lip balm, plus lip balm samples that workshop attendees can take home.
