Q & A

It started with a harmless quest for perfect wash-and-go hair. Every girl wants it, and Siobhan O'Connor and Alexandra Spunt finally found it in a fancy salon treatment. They were thrilled—until they discovered that the magic ingredient was formaldehyde. Shocked, O'Connor and Spunt left no bottle unturned. If it went on their body (and thus, was absorbed into their skin and bloodstream), they researched it. As it turns out, many of those unpronounceable ingredients in your self-tanner and leave-in conditioner are not regulated and the 'natural' on your face wash doesn't mean what you think it does. Now, with the help of top scientists, dermatologists, and makeup artists, the authors share their compelling findings and the easy way to detoxify your beauty regimen.

No More Dirty Looks also reveals the safest, most effective products on the market and time-tested home recipes. Finally, you don't need to sacrifice health for beauty—because coming clean is the best look yet.

Kim Barnouin, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Skinny Bitch
'This book is a wake-up call for all women who think that what you put on your body is not going to hurt you. O'Connor and Spunt offer an in-depth glimpse into the dangers lurking within the beauty industry, in a quick and engaging read that is tough to put down. No More Dirty Looks will arm consumers with knowledge, opening their eyes to products they should avoid and safer, healthier alternatives. Every woman I know is getting a copy.'

Eric Schlosser, bestselling author of Fast Food Nation
'When it comes to good health, what you put on your skin can be as important as what you put in your mouth. Here's a useful book to help you look better and feel better—without poisoning yourself.'

Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, New York Times-bestselling author of The Fat Flush Plan 'I loved this book! No More Dirty Looks is a fabulous and enlightening guide to the cleanest skin, body and hair care products. It belongs in every woman's library and should be required reading for all skin and hair professionals!'

Ralph Nader 'No More Dirty Looks can save you from many toxic ingredients in cosmetics. Authors O'Connor and Spunt open a wide window to a world where personal care products and safety can co-exist and give you a better result with less pain and danger. The book reads as if the authors are talking with your body—from head to toe.'

Jenny McCarthy, author, actress and activist
'As a mom concerned about my own health and that of my child, I consider No More Dirty Looks essential reading.'

Intro to Green Beauty

September 3, 2012

I'm sure this book was the catalyst for a lot of green beauties that shop here at Spirit! It's indispensable if you're just starting out. Siobhan & Alexandra explain everything very If you're a little bit more experienced with green beauty products and the dangers of chemicals in traditional beauty products, it might not be quite as useful. A great book, though (as is their blog!)

Fantastic Book

August 16, 2012

I received this book for my bday last year and it has changed my life! It was enjoyable to read and very informative. I took plenty of notes as I read and I really appreciated all of the product reviews that were included. I now frequent the blog for updates and additional info (though there is stuff in the book that you won't find on the blog, so definitely read it!) I have since been buying it/borrowing it to all my girlfriends and have changed the way I buy personal care products. I hope you will read, enjoy and share this, as well!

I love the girls from No More Dirty Looks, I have read another book on the topic, but I really like how they wrote this and how they give some suggestions for products. They help make the transition easier (just like Spirit does). I recommend this for anybody interested in making a change in their beauty routine.

good for the novice

July 28, 2012

This book is good for those who are beginning to change to natural and gives good examples of products form each category that they consider natural.(I'm the parinoid natural girl who so some products they recommend I would get but that just me) nice to have to read about ingredients.

THE Beauty Bible!

July 23, 2012

If it weren't for this book, I would probably still be using products that claimed they were natural, but really contained harmful chemicals. I wouldn't have ever discovered SBL if it weren't for this book, either! Their website is phenomenal - subscribe to the newsletter as well!
