Occasionally, a family member or friend will ask me why I am so dedicated to non-toxic living. I was always the one who had a bottle of the latest perfume in my purse in high school. I also always wore a full face of makeup filled with toxic ingredients, but I had zero idea that these personal care products were harming my health and hormones. For years I have had issues with migraines, painful periods and also struggled with infertility. I began to question if these health issues had anything to do with the products I was using on my face and body. Over the last 3 years, I have been so focused on upgrading my personal care and beauty products to clean brands that are transparent with their ingredients.

It’s incredible how our daily beauty rituals can impact our health without us even realizing it. Making the switch to clean, non-toxic products is a game-changer! Let’s break it down to why this matters:

1.             Fragrance: Did you know that the lovely scent in your perfume might be messing with your hormones? Fragrances can be sneaky culprit in disruption our delicate hormonal balance.

2.             Phthalates: These are stealthy troublemakers. They’re endocrine disruptors, causing chaos in our hormonal systems. Opt for phthalate-free options to keep things in harmony.

3.             Titanium dioxide: It sounds innocent, but when inhaled, it could pose a health concern when inhaled and has potentially carcinogenic effects.

4.             Lead: This one’s a real showstopper! A neurotoxin that can mess with hormones, menstrual cycles and even fertility. Make sure that the personal care products you are using are lead-free.

5.             Parabens: they disrupt hormones and can lead to skin woes. Swap them out for clean alternatives so say goodbye to skin issues.

When in doubt, check the ingredients in the products you are using! Opt for products that are super clean and use non-toxic ingredients.

Some of my favorite clean personal care brands include: Earthley, 100%Pure and Toups & Co Organics.
