Yes To... Sustainability!


          Recently while in my local Rite Aid, I found a very unique and surprising product. I had never heard of it before and I wanted to do some investigating. I discovered a line of products all made with natural ingredients and organic fruits and veggies! How cool is that?! The Yes To brand is truly amazing! 
          There are many different products from this brand, including chapsticks, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, moisturizers, face washes, cleansers, and much, much more all made with natural components! The Yes To company is proud to stand by their claim to have developed a product that is guilt-free, uses REAL fruit and vegetables, "is all about positivity," and really works!
          There are four different "branch" brands in the Yes To collection: Yes To CarrotsYes To TomatoesYes To Cucumbers, and Yes To Blueberries.  Each one doing a different job (example: Yes To Tomatoes helps treat acne with tomatoes using salicylic acid). The difference in using these products rather than the other ones you're used to is that the Yes To brand refuses to use parabens, SLS, phthalates and petroleum. Parabens, SLS, phthalates, and petroleum, for those who don't know (I didn't!), are chemicals used in cosmetics, shampoos and soaps and have been connected to cancer and can be very dangerous to your skin and health in general. This is why the Yes To Team decided to cut them out of their clean and natural products! 
          Yes To products are also recyclable friendly! Adding onto that, there is ZERO animal testing. All in all, Yes To is a great company that delivers and also gives back to the community! They donate a percent of their proceeds go to Yes To Seed Fund (an organization committed to funding organic school gardens, educate children and provide lunches!) Recently, the Yes To Seed Fund teamed up with Mama Hope (Yes To Hope) to have organic gardens in Africa hoping to provide 10,000 kids with all organic lunches! This will work through video chat and email from U.S. schools to African schools to help maintain gardens and teach children the importance of sustainability all of the world!
