Ingredients You’re Putting on Your Skin that are Harming your Health and The Relationship Between Environmental Toxins and Your Health with Brain Tumor Survivor and Clean Beauty Pioneer, Indie Lee

Episode #250: This week on Balance Your Life podcast I am joined by Indie Lee. Indie’s journey from brain tumor survivor to clean beauty pioneer is a testament to the power of awakening and purpose. In 2008, Indie, known for her green thumb and passion for natural ingredients, was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor believed to be environmentally derived. After her successful surgery Indie embarked on a mission to inspire others to take control of their health and understand the deep connection between our environment, lifestyle, and skin health. Thus, Indie Lee Skincare was born—a line of clean beauty products formulated with high-performance, plant-derived ingredients designed to nurture both skin and soul. These products meet the highest standards of clean and cruelty-free beauty.​    On this episode we talk about her cancer journey and diagnosis, the first initial health and wellness swaps she made upon getting her cancer finding, what clean beauty means, and what are the standards of clean beauty. We also discuss what ingredients people are putting on their skin that are red flag for health issues, her commitment to following the 1,300+ banned ingredients standards, the “must have” products from her skincare line, and so much more.
