Clean personal care products that actually work :)
I am hugely passionate about this topic. Eliminating toxic personal care products is tremendously important when it comes to our health. However, much like my previous post on herbs, there is a lot of green washing and pretty marketing to sift through. Ugh. Always check your labels and make sure “fragrance” isn’t listed as an ingredient. You’d be shocked, it’s everywhere. And so detrimental to our health and hormones.
Below I have listed out a few great personal care products!
Primally pure charcoal deodorant - I have been experimenting with natural deodorant for years. I found one that I liked and worked well for me. But this spring I ran it through the Think Dirty app and it had a bad score :( I complexly missed the fact that it had “fragrance” listed as an ingredient- YIKES. I’ve been using primally pure charcoal deodorant for 2-3 months now? And love it. Smells great and it works.
Living Libations facial oil and ozonated dew dab - duh, we’ve talked about this. Obsessed. Dew dab has worked wonders for my acne and hyperpigmentation spots.
I buy my tampons and pads from the co-op - there’s a couple good brands but this is very important. Your “standard” brands for tampons and pads have horrible ingredients in them that can actually make bleeding and cramping worse. I opt for Natracare Organic, Seventh Generation, or Honey Pot.
I buy my body lotion and body wash from the co-op (always always “fragrance” free) - not brand loyal with this one.
makeup - Ilia (mascara, eyeliner, highlighter, bronzer, blush, etc) and Living Libations (obsessed with beach beauty shimmer and pink lady’s slipper shimmer)
hair- Innersence Beauty - obsessed, I use the hydrating shampoo and conditioner and I feel like it makes my curls much softer. I also love their sea salt spray! I always let my hair air dry and use a microfiber hair towel when I get out of the shower.
toothpaste- Boka, Ella Mint
Living Libations happy gum drops swishing oil- for oil pulling!
Sunscreen- Badger Balm Mineral Sunscreen cream or Living Libations Everybody Loves The Sunshine Zinc Lotion
For at home cleaning products, we use Branch Basics for everything. Their dishwasher pods did not work for us, so we use Dropps dishwasher pods. But for everything else- countertop cleaner, glass cleaner, bathroom cleaner, laundry detergent, hand soap- we use Branch Basics. This is super important !!
