Breast cancer is a disease that touches the lives of many. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the course of their lifetime.
Research shows that exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and carcinogens can lead to a breast cancer diagnosis later in life.
Up through a woman’s first full-term pregnancy is a time when women are particularly vulnerable to these harmful chemicals. It is up to us to stop breast cancer before it starts.

Thank you EWG for highlighting the importance of #organic!

Ready for Spring Break? Our POB chapters sure are. Catch our brand ambassadors sharing Goddess Garden's Everyday Sunscreen at their schools. We love this sunscreen because it is free of common chemicals like Octinoxate and Oxybenzone (both EDCs and carcinogens) found in conventional sunscreen. Soak up the sun the safer way with this amazing sunscreen!
Breast development occurs throughout a woman’s lifetime, beginning in utero and continuing through the child bearing years. Hormone communication varies during different stages from puberty through pregnancy, and during menstruation.
Breast cancer has been identified as a life stage disease due, in part, to increased susceptibility to certain environmental exposures during these windows of heightened hormone activity.
Protect Our Breasts encourages you to reduce your exposures today to lower your risk of a diagnosis in the future. #organic #breastcancerprevention #nonprofit
