In today’s episode, Holly and Josie sit down with Andrea Dahr, founder and creator of the Switch Naturals App, an app designed to give non-biased, research based feedback on the ingredients you use in your every day personal care products as well as household products. It's as simple as scanning the back of the ingredients on any product of your choosing and getting instant feedback and literature sourced education on the safety of the ingredients. 

We chat all about why it's important to care about the ingredients used to make products, some of the negative outcomes associated with certain ingredients as well as  ingredients we recommending avoiding and why. 

We wanted this episode to give you tools to allow you to feel empowered to confidently select products that you feel safe and comfortable with to bring into your home and use in your personal care routine every day.
