“Clean” on the front of a jar can mean almost anything. There is no standardized regulatory definition of “clean” for cosmetics, so clean skincare can still carry synthetic fragrance, dyes, and parabens under a pretty label. If you have ever stood in a store unsure which claims to trust, start here.
If you're 40+, bone health probably feels like a problem for later. Then a DEXA scan at 50 comes back with osteopenia and osteoporosis, even after years of heavy lifting and HRT. That is exactly what happened to Amy Sherman, and it sent her looking for answers.
