The Best Personal Care Products (Brands & Companies)

By Kristin Harris September 20, 2018

12.2 million adults – one of every 13 women and one of every 23 men – are exposed to ingredients that are known or probable human carcinogens every day through their use of personal care products. – Environmental Working Group

One of the things we completely forget to do when trying to live a healthy lifestyle is change our skincare, body care and household products to chemical-free versions. You may make the excuse that it’s too expensive, but when it comes down to your health…well, health is priceless! And really the bottom line is you either pay now or pay later with doctor visits. In light of this, see the transition to clean bodycare/beauty as a gift to yourself and your liver. Make it fun and get excited because you are making a life long investment in longevity and optimal living. In this post, I will share with you some of the cleanest body & beauty brands that make the transition from toxic-to-clean super easy. These brands are high quality and offer much more than your outdated drugstore products, they offer you optimal health!

Products To Replace

You wouldn’t realize how many ways both men and women actually rub, press and apply toxins to their skin each and everyday, multiple times a day. Below are just some of the common products the average person uses, which must be evaluated and replaced:

  • Makeup
  • Bodywash
  • Sunscreen
  • Deodorant
  • Dry Shampoo
  • Moisturizers/Lotions
  • Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Hairspray, Mouse, Gels
  • Perfume & Body Sprays (the worst)
  • Tooth Paste/Mouth Wash
  • Spray Tans/Tanning Lotion
  • Eye Lash Glue/Nail Glues
  • Nail Polish/Remover
  • Eye drops/Contact Solution
  • Hand Soap/Dish Soap/Bar Soap

The European Union has banned over 1,300 chemicals found in cosmetics. The FDA has only banned 8 and restricted 3. – EU Cosmetic Regulation

The average woman puts over 515 chemicals on her body everyday and absorbs 60%. – Research by Bionsen

Helpful Tools & Sites

The links below will allow you to look up specific products and ingredients to help you make better decisions before purchasing products. Make it your goal as soon as you run out of a toxic product to research a better product and replace it. Consider the upgrade to quality products in your life, as a means to optimize your health because you are worth it!

EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Database (A Searchable Database of Cosmetics, Brands + Ingredients)

Dirty List (Substances Banned or Restricted in the EU, but still legal in the US)

No More Toxins…Instead Radiant Health

Everyday our body comes into contact with toxins…pollution, medications, genetically modified foods, cosmetics, pesticides, alcohol, cigarette smoke, household chemicals, etc. and these exposures add up. In light of this, our body has to work that much harder to process and eliminate these toxins. However, by being mindful, identifying and getting rid of the avoidable toxins, over time allows the body to balance itself and to function that much more efficiently. So often people are prone to sickness (i.e. colds and flus) and this is simply because the body is working overtime to eliminate the crap we put in it or on it everyday. Therefore, the body doesn’t have the time or energy to focus solely on crushing your cold virus or flu, etc. Bottom line: Change your Body-Care & Skin-Care!

    the time and effort to put this short article together.
    I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and posting comments.
    But so what, it was still worth it!

Kristin helped me to lose 7 lbs within 2 weeks just by changing my diet and eating more often. She is very passionate about what she does and I learned so much about foods to eliminate that aren’t even food, but actually man-made: processed oils, high fructose corn syrup and GMO’s. Kristin is very compassionate and eager to help.
