After three failed rounds of ivf we were told we'd never have our own biological children. I was determined to find a way to be more fertile and improve my eggs, so I followed a strict detox diet which included using only natural products in my skin care, hair care, make up, cleaning products- basically anything that could touch your skin and get into your system. No SLS's Phalates, perfume etc

It worked! And I now have a little seven month old boy Although I'll never really know why suddenly my eggs were better (the toxins may have nothing to do with it...)

I do use Johnsons products on him (I especially love the bedtime products to aid a restful sleep), but I would love to know what your views are on the chemicals that we are made to feel increasingly cautious of?
