How many products do you currently have in your bathroom? 5? 10? 20?

When you wake up in the morning, you’re probably engaging with the following products:

….and that’s just before breakfast. Maybe after you apply makeup, which includes a foundation, bronzer, mascara, eye-liner, lip tint.

No wonder the average women applies 168 chemicals to her body everyday. Not to mention, 12.2 million adults are using known carcinogens in their daily skincare routine, simply because they are not aware of what is in their personal care products.

The personal care and beauty market is worth approx. 465 billion USD. Imagine the benefits for our bodies is we were all to switch to just one product in our bathroom that was a natural-based product?

Native

We all know how harmful mainstream deodorants are. So why do we keep buying them?

I get it-often it’s hard to come across a natural solution for deodorant that actually helps with body odour.

Today is another friendly reminder that clogging your pores with aluminium (that’s right! It’s in your deodorant and even mentioned in the ingredients), and parabens (literally cancer causing chemicals!), has to stop.

Luckily there’s Native. Their natural deodorants are free of all chemicals and toxins, and are responsibly made in the USA. Not only do their deodorants actually get the job done, they are extremely economical, and they offer an extended product line to help take more chemicals out of your bathroom, including fluoride-free toothpaste.

Hand in Hand

Remember those 168 chemicals I was mentioning earlier?

Imagine a brand that is so transparent, they tell you exactly what their main ingredients are (and why they stick to them).

Hand in Hand’s core ingredient list is a recognizable 11 items that you can actually pronounce. Their “sustainable suds” are made in the USA and are vegan, cruelty-free, and palm oil free. All ingredients are responsibly sourced, and their one-for-one model helps provide clean water to underprivileged children.

Their collection includes all your essential bathroom needs from soap and body wash, to scrubs and essential oils.

Sitti Soap

Olive oil is one of the best oils for killing bacteria and hydrating your skin. Utilizing olive oil in skin care has always been a practice in the Middle East, but not as heavily practiced in North America.

Sitti Soap brings your olive oil-based soaps to the market, that are handmade and cold-pressed by refugee women at the Gaza refugee camp in Jordan. This incredible social enterprise is providing empowerment to women who have had to leave everything behind in countries such as Palestine. Every purchase cultivates community for these women, and allows them to earn an income and work towards a life of freedom.

Teadora

Adore yourself! That’s literally what “Teadora” means—and they back it up with their vegan, cruelty-free, sustainable beauty products that feel and smell ahhh-mazing! Founder Val grew up near the Amazon rainforest, where her mother taught her to how to sustainably harvest Amazonian botanicals to make natural body care blends.

Val wanted to pass on those luxurious self care products as well as her love for the Amazon. So when you shop Teadora, you’re getting natural body care that’s great for you, and giving back to do great for the planet!

Every Teadora purchase plants one tree in the rainforest, and Teadora is on a mission to plant 1 million!

Savhera

Pure and natural essential oils are actually not that easy to find.It takes a dedicated team who are passionate about providing consumers with exceptional products, and committing to sustainability to find a pure oil that comes with all the benefits for your skin and health.

Savhera sources their oils directly from the land of Ayurveda, India, while combatting sex trafficking by providing dignified employment to survivors of sexual exploitation in India and the USA.
