Why skip traditional skin care products?
Here are just a few of the chemicals commonly found in traditional skin care products:
- 🛑 Benzophenone – can disrupt the function of many tissues and organs including skin, kidney, brain, endocrine and hematological systems. Highly toxic to marine life.
- 🛑 Methanol – when absorbed by the skin, can result in adverse effects in the eyes and central nervous system.
- 🛑 Mineral Oil – a by-product of the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. Locks skin from absorbing moisture from the air, clogs pores, and can cause more skin dryness.
- 🛑 Petrolatum – long-term exposure can lead to clogged pores, pneumonia, allergies, and infections.
- 🛑 Phthalates – can impact your natural hormones and lead to serious health issues such as lower fertility, development issues, and a higher risk of cancer.
- 🛑 Propanol – can cause local adverse effects such as eczema, ulcers, skin rashes, desquamation, and erythema.
- 🛑 Sodium lauryl sulfate – cleansing agent and foam booster that causes dry skin, irritation, and allergic reactions such as eczema and dermatitis.
- 🛑 Synthetic Fragrances, “Parfum”, or “Fragrance” – may cause headaches, breathing difficulties, cardiovascular and neurological problems, mucosal irritation, and contact dermatitis. Higher risk of cancer.
Below are the BEST non-toxic and natural skin care products that are safer for you, your home, and the environment:
This gentle lotion is hypoallergenic and safe for every skin type including babies. The formula is light enough for your face, but moisturizing enough for your hands and body. Everyone Lotion is EWG Verified, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. Plus, if you opt for a scented lotion they only use the purest essential oils and organic botanical extracts – i.e. no synthetic fragrances.
The company is committed to doing better for your skin and the planet too since every bottle is made using 100% recycled material and packaging. Speaking of the bottles, I love the generous size of each bottle which is sure to last you for quite a long time!
To recap, here are the top 5 reasons why you should switch to Everyone Body Lotion:
- ✅ Plant-based ingredients
- ✅ Certified Gluten Free
- ✅ 100% pure essential oils & organic botanical extracts (only in scented lotions)
- ✅ Numerous Certifications including Cruelty Free, Certified B Corp., & more.
- ✅ A company dedicated to a Zero Waste Mission
Important: Preservative-free lotion doesn’t exist since it contains water. To keep mold, yeast, and bacteria from growing, preservatives are necessary to extend the shelf life of lotions. I chose this lotion because it has the safest preservatives for your body. If you want a truly clean and preservative-free moisturizer there are many oils or body butters you can choose from. Keep in mind these types of products may result in a thinner and slightly oilier product.
A toxic-free bar of soap is your best option since they don’t contain synthetic preservatives, thickeners, or foaming agents like liquid soaps. It will also leave the smallest footprint and our top choice is 100% biodegradable making it your most eco-conscious choice too.
Just like their hand sanitizer, this bar of soap is Certified Organic and uses Certified Fair Trade Ingredients. To add to that, it’s also an EWG Verified product. This Dr. Bronner’s bar soap comes in many toxic-free aromas including unscented too. It’s gentle for all skin types and moisturizing making it a great choice for shaving as well.
To recap, here are the top 5 reasons why you should switch to Dr. Bronner’s Bar Soap:
- ✅ 100% Certified Organic Ingredients (EWG Verified)
- ✅ 100% Biodegradable & Plastic-Free
- ✅ Hydrating
- ✅ No synthetic preservatives, thickeners, or foaming agents
- ✅ Multiple certifications including USDA-Certified Organic and Leaping Bunny Certified
The only ingredients in this hand sanitizer are fair trade organic ethyl alcohol, organic peppermint oil, organic glycerin (sourced from organic soy), and water. On top of that, Dr. Bronner’s works with farmers to implement climate-friendly regenerative organic practices to build healthy soils, reduce erosion, and sequester atmospheric carbon.
The organically sourced glycerin allows your skin to absorb moisture from the air keeping your hands hydrated after each use. While I believe hand sanitizer should be used in moderation, I find this bottle to come in handy for kids’ sticky hands, at concerts, while on public transportation, at the gym, and so many other places where soap and water may not be readily available. As a bonus, it can even be used as a safe air freshener, too!
To recap, here are the top 5 reasons why you should switch to Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand Sanitizer:
- ✅ 100% Organic & thoughtfully sourced ingredients
- ✅ 99.9% Effective on germs
- ✅ Hydrating
- ✅ Versatile
- ✅ Multiple certifications including USDA-Certified Organic and Leaping Bunny Certified
Detoxing your skin is so important to remove impurities, toxins, pollutants, and dead skin cells clogging your pores, and odor-causing bacteria. There are many products on the market, but this is the most powerful and safest product of all to cleanse, treat, brighten, and soothe your skin.
The 100% natural calcium bentonite clay is the only ingredient in this product which comes from volcanic ash and contains numerous skin-friendly substances. It’s known as “the world’s most powerful facial”. 🤩 When mixed with organic apple cider vinegar it becomes even more effective and is safe for every part of your body including hair.
To recap, here are the top 5 reasons why you should switch to Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay:
- ✅ 1 Earth-derived ingredient – 100% Natural Calcium Bentonite Clay
- ✅ Naturally provides multiple benefits for skin
- ✅ Authentically sourced from Death Valley in California
- ✅ Versatile (body wraps, facials, insect bites, & more)
- ✅ Vegan & Cruelty-free

It’s all good, baby, baby. This tiny tin is small but mighty! A little bit goes a long way – one reviewer stated it lasted her 8 months with daily use. 😱 This sunscreen is completely odorless, lightweight, hydrating (but not greasy), water resistant for 80 minutes, and provides 50 SPF. More importantly, it’s completely safe for your body and certified Reef-safe so it won’t harm our precious marine life either.
It’s formulated with 25% zinc oxide and 4 organic ingredients – Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Calendula Flowers infused in Organic Jojoba Oil, and Vitamin E. Zinc oxide is the best active sunscreen ingredient because it covers the entire UVA and UVB spectrum by itself and has the most consistently effective absorption capabilities. It goes on white but rubs in clear quickly and easily. Plus, we love the reusable tin.
To recap, here are the top 5 reasons why you should switch to All Good Zinc Butter Sunscreen:
- ✅ 5 Simple, safe, & effective ingredients (EWG Verified)
- ✅ Goes on clear
- ✅ Reef safe
- ✅ Travel-friendly & reusable tin container
- ✅ Numerous certifications including Climate Neutral & Leaping Bunny Certified
