Toxic-Free Market at the YMCA

01 April 2014 - by YMCA Green Team

JustBeautifulStep into Spring with a little less toxins and a bit more natural beauty!


This Saturday, April 5, the Central YMCA is hosting Environmental Defence’s fifth Just Beautiful Eco-Beauty Market.  Starting at 11:00am to 6:00pm, the public can sample and shop for health and beauty products that are not only good for the body, but for the environment too!


All vendors who will be at the Eco-Beauty Market have shown their commitment to making and selling safe and environmentally friendly products by taking Environmental Defence’s Just Beautiful Pledge.  Pledge companies do not use Toxic Ten ingredients in their products, and list all ingredients on labels.


The Just Beautiful Eco-Beauty Market is free and open to all members of the public.  Come get your soap, shampoo, and make-up and welcome Spring with a whole new, fresh, and toxic-free you!
