Body + Beauty

 

Personal care products are unfortunately loaded with hidden toxicants such as paraben, phthalates, and fragrance. These toxins overburden our bodies (especially our liver) causing our systems to work harder than it should. If our bodies become overburden we start developing chronic diseases now or later in life. We must actively avoid using toxic personal care products and remove them from our bodies and home. Luckily there are simple solutions to all of our body and beauty needs.

 
 

Skincare

Aleavia - Hand and Body Cleanser

This may be a shock but body soap is not necessary. Rinsing and washing your body with water does the job perfectly well without adding harmful triclosan or alkylphenols, often found in soap. With that some people still feel the need to use soap. This enzymatic cleanser removes bacteria without adding toxicants.

Yay for Earth - Face Lotion

Sunshine in a glass jar. Yay for Earth face lotion is made of four simple organic ingredients: olive oil, shea butter, beeswax, and pomegranate seed oil. Intentionally made to heal our skin and protect the planet.

Primally Pure - Everything Spray

This spray lives up to its name and is seriously great for everything! I mostly use it as a face toner, but also as a bathroom spray, for sunburns, and my favorite way is on the armpits of a shirt when the shirt is clean but the armpit smell. So many wins.

 

Raw Elements - Sunscreen

Protection for up to 80 minutes. Reef safe. Comes in a reusable, recyclable, plastic-free tin. A better option for our health and the health of our living planet.

 

Pura d’or - Tamanu Oil

Tamanu oil has significantly helped with my face scaring since suffering from years of acne. Tamanu has regenerating properties that promote cell proliferation and collagen production essential for reducing scars.

 

Meow Meow Tweet - Deodorant

Finding a non-toxic deodorant that works for you can be difficult. I have found that this one works well for me and many others. Plus it's plastic free and has cute packaging.

 

Dental Wellness

Davids Toothpaste

No fluoride, sulfates, paraben, or any other made made toxicant in Davids toothpaste. Plus it comes in a recyclable metal tube. Better for our wellness and the planet.

Silk Floss

You may or may not know but typical floss is made out of plastic and as you floss plastic bits can break off and enter your digestive system. We don't need to keep adding toxins to our toxic environments/ bodies. Instead use this biodegradable silk floss that comes in reusable glass bottles. Better for our bodies and the planet. . 

Tongue Scraper

Digestion starts in your mouth. By scraping your tongue each morning you allow better signalling between your food and your digestive enzymes helping you the better digest and absorb those precious nutrients. Not to mention it also helps remove bad breath. 

 

Haircare

Refillable Shampoo

If shampoo bars or the no poo method just isn't cutting it for you this is your solution. Suitable for all hair types, free from all toxins, and comes in a reusable metal bottle that you send back with your new bottle. Another incredible company saving our bodies and the planet.

Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner

I will never use a regular conditioner. Apple cider vinegar works to help itchy scalp and leave your hair incredibly soft. I literally could not believe how well it works. Simply add a few tablespoons to cup then fill the cup with your shower water, massage into your hair, leave for 5 minutes then rinse and viola.

Wooden Hair Brush

A large part of hair health is brushing your hair often and with a wooden brush. The wooden bristles help to properly distribute the oils from your scalp to your ends promoting better circulation and hair growth.

 

First Aid

Calendula Cream

Instead of using neosporin that can may lead to dermatitis, this calendula cream is great for any scrapes, cuts, burns, sunburns, or chafing.

Arnicare Gel

A simple remedy for muscle soreness, bruises, pain, and stiffness. Great after a long day of activity or any muscle injury.

Hypoallergenic, 100% home compostable, and come in recyclable cardboard. Plastic, latex, and toxin free. Can you tell we love products that are both human and earth friendly?

 
 

Feminine Hygiene Products

 

Reusable Silicone Menstrual Cup

Period cups are rad because they're totally waste free, better maintain vaginal pH balance, have longer lasting protection, plus they are a huge budget saver. There are many brands out there but Lena is my favorite. Find the cup that works for you!

Reusable Organic Cotton Pads

I pair my period cup with these reusable pads for extra protection especially for the first few days of my period. These pads are made of organic cotton and made to last. Better for your body and the planet all while saving you money.

 
 

Disposable Organic Tampons

Some people aren't into reusable period products and that's totally cool! But many disposable period products are filled with plastics, fragrances, adhesives, and chemical gels - definitely don't want those near my vagina. Natracare is made of organic cotton free of toxicants better for your vagina and the environment.

 

Disposable Organic Pads

We really don’t want unnecessary environmental toxicants near our vaginas. If pads are your thing Nature Care is a better solution. These pads are made of organic cotton and are again better for your vagina and the environment.

 
 

Reusable Tampon Applicator

Many organic tampons often don't come with an applicator, but this Dame reusable tampon applicator can make the experience much more comfortable.
