Switching from conventional products to nontoxic products can seem overwhelming at the beginning. That is why in this post, I will show you how to go from overwhelmed to well on your way to non-toxic living.
Firstly, switching out your products to nontoxic products does not have to be done overnight. It is much easier and less overwhelming when done one item at a time.
In this post, I will go over why non-toxic products are a great switch for your health, an easy method to switch without the overwhelm, and the exact non-toxic products I switched to (from Amazon).
Why You Should Switch To Non-Toxic Products From Amazon
Making This Switch Is Better For Your Health
In today’s market, many companies claim to be non-toxic, healthy, and natural. Unfortunately, these terms are not regulated and therefore many people purchase these products believing they are making a healthy choice. The reality is that we have to read labels for ourselves to know if these products are truly non-toxic.
This is important because we inhale these products and consume them, and they go through our bloodstream when applied to our skin. Since we have so many cleaning products, skincare products, and products in general in our homes, it might be wise to purchase products that are not harmful to us.
Conventional products can disrupt our hormones and cause an array of health issues when used over long periods. This is because they use chemicals including phosphates, phthalates, chlorine, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde, and many others.
Now, it sounds daunting to have to read ingredient labels, but that is why I began to slowly but surely put together a list of non-toxic products I love from Amazon.
Making The Switch To Non-Toxic Products Less Overwhelming
The best way I have found to switch my products is on a run-out basis. Whenever I run out of an item I research a non-toxic option to replace the old product. Also, two apps I use to scan products to check the ingredients are Think Dirty and Bobby Approved.
Remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s just about making small changes that compound over time and can benefit your health long term.
Non-Toxic Makeup Products
As someone who enjoys light makeup most days, I have found that Ilia Makeup products have been a great switch. These are the products I use which include a primer, foundation, blush and lipstick, and mascara.
I love that the Ilia skin tint foundation has SPF 40 to protect your skin from the sun. I also love that these makeup products feel lightweight on the skin.
Non-Toxic Haircare Products
This is the non-toxic shampoo and conditioner set I use. I have found that this set keeps my hair feeling soft and clean. Also, if you like to wait a couple of days in between washes Acure has a great dry shampoo.
Non-Toxic Lotion, Bodywash, Toothpaste, And Deodorant
Once I ran out of conventional products I was using I switched to these.
This Avalon Organics Lotion keeps my dry skin soft. I tend to need more thick lotions because of my dry skin and this one works great.
I use Dr. Bronner’s unscented Castille soap for my body wash. It is gentle on my skin and can be used for more than body wash. Some people add it to their cleaning solutions, and laundry, and wash their pets with it.
The current toothpaste I’ve been using is by the brand called David’s. It is free of fluoride. It has peppermint, coconut oil, and tea tree oil.
This post was all about the nontoxic products I switched to from Amazon. Remember, it’s all about making small changes little by little. My motto is to learn as you go.
