SRyou presenter spotlight: Taylor Eaton

Editor’s note: The 10th annual SRyou Student Exposition, an all-day event featuring the work of Salve students, will be held Wednesday, March 27. In the weeks leading up to the exposition, SALVEtoday and the SRyou planning committee are featuring a series of presenter spotlights.

Taylor Eaton ’21, a nursing major and health care administration and management minor, will present a poster about Beautycounter, a company that prohibits the use of more than 1,500 harmful chemicals from their products.

“People do not realize the harmful ingredients they are putting on and in their body every single day,” Eaton said. “Products from what you use in the shower to lotions and makeup have harmful ingredients that are not regulated in the United States. There are only 30 partially banned ingredients in the U.S., whereas the European Union has banned more than 1,400 chemicals. Exposure to toxic chemicals can cause cancer, asthma and even infertility, which is why it is important to raise awareness on this issue.”
