As a cancer survivor and founder of Aligned Rituals, I’ve made it my mission to prioritize clean, non-toxic products in both my personal life and business. Today, I want to share why swapping to healthier options is crucial for your overall wellness and how you can start making these changes.
Why Clean Swaps Matter:
- Hormone Health: Many conventional products contain endocrine disruptors that can interfere with your hormonal balance.
- Reduced Toxin Exposure: Clean products help minimize your daily exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
- Environmental Impact: Choosing biodegradable and recyclable options benefits both your health and the planet.
How to Start Your Clean Swap Journey:
- Gradual Transition: Replace products as they run out to make the process more manageable and cost-effective.
- Prioritize Frequently Used Items: Focus on swapping products you use daily, like deodorant, moisturizer, and toothpaste.
- Read Labels: Familiarize yourself with harmful ingredients to avoid and look for certifications like USDA Organic, No Parabebs or EWG Verified.
Clean Swap Suggestions:
- Skincare:
• Swap conventional moisturizers for clean options like Agent Nauter – Holi (Oil)
• Replace chemical-laden cleansers with a cleaner option like January Labs – Pure & Gentle Cleansing Gel - Makeup:
• Switch to natural lipsticks like Fitglow – Night Lip Serum
• Opt for clean foundations free from harmful preservatives - Personal Care:
• Replace antiperspirants with natural deodorants
• Choose organic, biodegradable feminine hygiene products - Supplementation:
• Consider clean supplements like Cymbiotika
Research Backing:
A study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found that switching to personal care products labeled free of certain chemicals can significantly reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors.
