See a Safer Future with Safer Conscious Brands: One Week Left!

If you have been following us on Instagram or Twitter, you have seen a lot of pictures of members of the executive board with organic brands at the Natural Products Expo West thanks to early donors to our See a Safer Future campaign.

If you haven’t given yet, here’s why we hope you will do so today:SSF picstitch

Protect Our Breasts is dedicated to sharing the conversation about chemicals in everyday products found on the grocery shelves that contribute to breast cancer; empowering women to make safer choices to protect their breasts during the most vulnerable periods of their lives. Inherent in that mission is identifying products to share with our communities that can meet our science and standards vetting process for both the ingredients and the packaging. Dedicated to transparency, our website shares our current and desired vetting process.

In order to find these companies, the team needs to travel to the natural products expos where organic brands are featured. Earlier this month, we joined 71,000 attendees at the West Coast show to find companies dedicated to keeping harmful chemicals out of their products. Not every single product sold by the companies we highlight has been vetted by our advisory yet, but we know at least one has. We cannot guarantee their ingredient list or packaging hasn’t changed since our initial vetting (so we repeat the process as needed), but we know these companies have dedicated themselves to keeping their products clean.

We need your financial support to help us meet these brands at Expo East– Sept 2015 and Expo West – March 2016 at https://minutefund.umass.edu/protectourbreasts. Then, we can all recognize the companies who are working hard to keep chemicals off the shelves, making the sometimes difficult decisions to choose the safer options, and dedicating themselves to our safety, now and in the future.
