Non-toxic recommendations for women 🎀
Hi everyone! I’m a young woman just starting to get into a more non-toxic/clean lifestyle and I’m trying to slowly replace some of my hygiene and wellness products with safer options. I’ve been learning about things like PFAS, endocrine disruptors, and questionable ingredients in products like pads, deodorant, skincare, and hair products, and it honestly made me want to start being more mindful about what I use. I’d love recommendations for: • Pads/tampons or other menstrual products • Deodorant • Body wash or soap • Lotion • Hair products • Toothpaste/oral care • Any other wellness products you think are worth switching to Preferably brands that are transparent about ingredients and actually work (not just “clean” marketing). Also bonus if they’re affordable or easy to find at places like Target. Thank you in advance! I’m still learning so any advice or brand suggestions are appreciated :) submitted by /u/Silent-Height4306 to r/nontoxic [link] [comments]

Non toxic skincare during pregnancy, what's actually safe and what's fear mongering [Misc]
I'm 14 weeks pregnant and going down a rabbit hole of pregnancy safe skincare. Every website has different information about what ingredients to avoid. Some say avoid all retinoids and salicylic acid. Others say small amounts of salicylic acid are fine. Some say avoid essential oils, others recommend them for stretch marks. I'm so confused. My OB says most skincare is fine and I'm overthinking it. But then I read articles about how your skin absorbs everything and it can affect the baby. Now I'm paranoid about every product I use. What did you actually avoid during pregnancy? Are we being overly cautious or are these concerns valid? I don't want to be reckless but I also don't want to throw away my entire skincare routine over unsubstantiated fears. submitted by /u/ProfessionIll5518 to r/SkincareAddiction [link] [comments]

I thought non toxic makeup would help my rosacea but I was removing it all wrong
I have type 2 rosacea and it's mostly under control with skincare. But every single time I wear makeup my face flares up the next day. Red, bumpy, irritated, the whole thing. I can't figure out if it's the makeup itself causing the problem or if it's the makeup removal process. Like am I rubbing my face too much trying to get everything off? Or are the makeup products themselves triggering inflammation? I've tried "sensitive skin" makeup and it still happens. I use micellar water to remove makeup which is supposed to be gentle but maybe that's the issue? I don't know anymore. It's so frustrating because I want to wear makeup for special occasions but I know I'm going to pay for it the next day with a flare. Has anyone with rosacea figured out how to wear makeup without triggering their skin? What makeup brands actually work for rosacea prone skin? And what's the gentlest way to remove makeup without causing more irritation? submitted by /u/Empty_Equivalent933 to r/Rosacea [link] [comments]

Business Idea: Know if your makeup is truly organic/non-toxic + website to check
With the advent of healthy living and drinking water, it was only a matter of time before the organic lifestyle came knocking for make up (which in a lot of cases has been found to contain some toxic chemicals). Idea: Many users struggle with finding organic and affordable makeup alternatives in the market. It is also difficult to know if the makeup being purchased is truly non-toxic. Build a simple website that finds the organic make up brands for users and lists any toxic chemicals that can be found within the non-organic makeup products. A product that can be sold alongside this website is a simple test kit for specific toxic chemicals found in makeup products.

Sub-reddits you can use to gain more insight: r/organic_makeup r/organicmakeup r/NaturalBeauty r/SkincareAddiction r/zerowastebeauty In Summary: This is a website/app that simply provides knowledge on the specific toxic chemicals within various makeup products (very specific), while also providing alternative organic and non-toxic makeup products for users.

Question about “non-toxic” baby & skincare products
I keep seeing claims online that many mainstream baby and skincare products (like diaper creams and wipes) are “toxic,” while other brands are marketed as “non-toxic” or “clean.” For example, I often see products like WaterWipes or Bepanthen labeled as “toxic,” while brands such as The Honest Company or Mothercare are frequently described as “non-toxic.” From a scientific / medical perspective, does switching to “non-toxic” brands actually make a meaningful difference to health?

Natural/organic/non-toxic baby skincare products
Second time mum here, expecting a baby in July 2026. I was wondering what skincare products others are looking into. With my son (born 2022) I used childs farm- it was okayish but then I moved to Nala when he was about 2 years old and that worked really well for him as he has eczema. I noticed products with oats weren't so good for him as well. Now for my new baby I am not so sure of exploring Nala's because of the lavender oil and I only use the baby butter but I feel it's too scented. What other natural/toxin free options are others using for their newborn babies. Thanks submitted by /u/Mobibi25 to r/PregnancyUK [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! 💕 I’m on the hunt for a truly non-toxic foundation and hoping for some recs. I used to be obsessed with Vapour’s foundation, but they stopped making it 😭😭 and I have not recovered lol. I’m looking for something as close to it as possible: • Medium to full coverage (or buildable) • Dewy / skin-like finish (not flat matte) • Works well on mature skin (I’m in my 40s) • Lasts all day without looking cakey • Bonus points if it has skincare benefits • And preferably somewhat affordable If you have any holy grail suggestions, I’d be so grateful.

Can vegan, non-toxic skincare really help with serious skin damage?
I’m wondering if vegan and non-toxic skincare can really help with serious skin problems, not just things like dryness or sensitivity. For exampple, Skin Diva Labs says their products are fully vegan, hormone-safe, and based on science. They offer things like the BioBarrier Repair System, which is meant to help heal skin and repair the barrier. If you’ve tried their products, did you see any real changes in your skin’s texture, redness, or other damage? If you have sensitive or damaged skin, which non-toxic or vegan products have worked best for you? Did you use them alone, or did you need to combine them with other treatments? submitted by /u/trapqueen67567 to r/SkincareAddicts [link] [comments]

How do you guys keep yourselves from getting overwhelmed on the non-toxics?
I have a 6 month old now, and the more research I do, the deeper I fall into the rabbit holes. We've made certain non-toxic swaps as we go, blueland dishwasher pods, attitude detergent for baby, natural skincare for us, no candles in the house, reduced fragrances and parfum, etc. But the more I learn, the more I start to get anxious about how hard it is to avoid these things! And how little I feel like I'm actually doing... I recently beat myself up over her not having mostly natural fabric clothes such as cotton, wool, etc. She was gifted flame retardant pjs and outfits that I didn't know any better about at the time. But also, they grow so fast and poop and pee on everything, it was hard to understand why not get the cheaper options. Lately with her older clothes I have started to be more intentional. Picking from the sales of Primary, Colored Organics, Woolino, Little Planet from Carters, cotton sleepers, etc. My partner uses dryer sheets only in our laundry but nothing for baby. I was planning on buying wool drying balls. I learned our non-stick pans were scratched so I threw them out and only use cast iron at the moment. We use silicone cooking utensils which I would like to swap for wood. I just learned if you don't have an iron deficiency that cooking with cast iron may not be great, too? Our toilet paper is bad for us, baby's rug is probably leeching microplastics since it's not a natural fiber. So is ours in our bedroom. Probably the one in the kitchen too... She has cuddle and kind plushies but I just learned stuffed plushies aren't healthy. My partner got her a doll yesterday that has polyester hair! I own so much fast fashion that I plan to donate since I don't wear them, but our gym wear is synthetic. I'm dying inside at the fact that I am currently wearing a polyester shirt.. I got my first pair of wool pants the other day, and as much as I'd love more... they were over 150$! Thank goodness baby's bedding is non-toxic but she sleeps on our bamboo bedsheets often which aren't processed in the healthiest ways either.. We only buy organic and 100% grass fed food for baby, and for me since I mostly breastfeed her. I feel icky sterilizing her bottles and my pumping parts because it feels like I'm breaking down plastic every time I do, but I feel like I should still sterilize? I'd love to stop if I could... She has glass bottles but everything else is silicone or plastic in the bottles. We only use glass and stainless steel here at home for food. Stoneware plates too BUT they're tinted black as i don't know too much about stoneware yet. We do our best to limit screen time and are active parents when we can be. I take her out for sun every week for hikes and getting grounded. We have air purifiers in every single room. I'm trying my best, but the more aware I become, the more hazards I see in our home. How did you guys go about making all the changes in a healthier way? What do you guys prioritize? I feel like I'm drowning in my self-awareness. I just learned our water contains high levels of PFAS and chemicals that we shouldn't be drinking! I rent and now I'm debating on a water filter. I don't even know where to start even with this. At the moment we only drink filtered fridge water but I wasn't making baby's formula for top ups with that water, it was tap water! We have pesticide sprayed outside our home every 4-6 months because we get a lot of widows and not human-friendly bugs that are too close for comfort in common areas. I always feel so guilty about that for hurting the ecosystem. and potentially the health of us or others. I was learning about EMF radiation from having too many devices on around the home. I don't know how to slow down and pick my battles, it feels like it's me against everything. submitted by /u/YesImClueless to r/moderatelygranolamoms [link] [comments]

Slugging Queen with no makeup and great lighting :D
(36F)Skincare Routine Topical Human Race Rice powder cleanser ( whenever I feel like I need it) Human Race Lotus Enzyme Exfoliator ( once a week) Human Race Moisturizer ( a few times a week, depending on how my skin feels) pure Rosehip Oil seed extract daily ( night and day ) -Rosewater spray ( as needed ) sometimes I use Almond Oil on face ( I use it on body daily ) Mango butter on neck. I whipped it with avocado oil and jojoba oil and am loving it I started slugging with Aquaphor and I’m loving it. ( twice a week ) I don’t use sunscreen daily ( I’ m not advising that anyone does this, this is just what I do) I live in NYC and I struggle with low vitamin D levels. I don’t get much sun in the winter months even when I try. My natural complexion is a lot darker than this. I make it a point to get 20 min of sun a day if possible. During summer if I know I’m gonna be out more than 20 minutes I use mineral sunscreen. Things that I believe might affect my skin non-topical: I do red light therapy 5 times a week with a mitopro 300 panel Face Yoga ( polina on Youtube) she’s helped my neck enormously Hydration. I have a reverse osmosis system and remineralize our water with trace minerals. I also take LMNT for hydration I exercise Guasha I recently purchased the theraface. Has it changed my life? No. Does it make me feel good? yes lol ** I’ve posted about using Retinoid/Retinols before and how I believe it caused my eyebrow and hair to fall out - I suspect due to Vitamin A toxicity.

Any clean/non-toxic Full-coverage Foundations?
Are there legit ANY full-coverage foundations in the clean/organic/non-toxic beauty space? I see plenty of tinted moisturizers and stuff, but what about those of us who need some really solid, full coverage? I have lots of redness, acne, and dark undereyes and am seeking a healthier alternative to my current foundation (“Smashbox studio skin, 24hr full coverage”). I need something that covers really well and unfortunately the natural tinted moisturizers are nowhere near enough. The ultimate goal is to work on my skincare enough to the point that I won’t need to wear anything but I’m far from that comfort level right now, especially in a professional office workplace. submitted by /u/Ok-Soil-2589 to r/cleanbeauty [link] [comments]

I love Asian men for their non toxic masculinity
EDIT: sigh I hope people aren’t taking my post the wrong way. I just think it’s attractive that men can be themselves and do things without worrying about what society says. I’ll probably end up deleting this since Some people seemed to be offended, I’m sorry :( I love how Asian men can do stuff without it being seen as gay or questionable. Things like self care, friendly skin ship, wear pastel colors etc. It’s sad but A LOT of guys I know (especially from America) consider anything these days to be “gay”. Since when was taking care of yourself is considered gay or feminine?? Of course not all men are the same but I just notice Asian men seem to be like this more. submitted by /u/yeppeunxria to r/AsianMasculinity [link] [comments]

[misc] Can we stop with all this "organic" "natural" stuff? It's not better for your skin!
Recently I've been seeing a lot of posts from people who want all-organic/all-natural products. Lemme just say, as someone doing a PhD in chemistry (saying this to get you to take me seriously, not to brag), ORGANIC AND NATURAL DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING. They're marketing techniques. If anyone recommends an organic/natural skincare routine, you can safely conclude that they don't know anything about skincare product ingredients. "But my friend/aunt/healer/esthetician/Facebook said" NO. These people are not dermatologists or cosmetic chemists! "Organic" products are usually hippy-dippy products that have a ton of useless essential oils and alcohol in them (alcohol is the only "safe" solvent approved for extracting chemicals from plants). Organic also does not mean it's pesticide-free. It means it has been treated with "natural" pesticides (yeah, because it's so natural to chop down forests in Kenya to cultivate hundreds of hectares of toxic plants, have child slaves harvest them, concentrate and refinine the poisons and then ship them to richer countries and have to spray litres and litres of it everywhere because it's much less effective...). Natural pesticides also tend to degrade much slower (or not at all), so if you really are concerned about pesticides in your face oils (which shouldn't concern you anyway), better buy the non-organic version. If you're afraid of ingredients in your cosmetics, don't be: there is an extremely long and difficult approval process if you want to introduce any type of new chemical. NOTHING in your skincare products will hurt your health. Aluminium in deodorant is not dangerous, parabens are not dangerous. There is research backing this up, yet some brands continue to ride the "fear-sells" train and label their products as [insert fashionable-to-hate-ingredient]-free. The worst is "chemical-free". What are you putting on your face if it isn't chemicals? Pure elements? Subatomic particles?! Arrgh!! Dermatology and cosmetic chemistry are really hard and complicated. People who work in these fields know a lot more than you and I (it's difficult to visualise how much you don't know when you don't know what you don't know, but really, they know a LOT more), and it's a good idea to trust them! Trusting professionals is a huge deal today. So many people prefer to trust family members or celebrities over uncharismatic scientists and doctors, and we end up with shit like the anti-vax movement and climate change denial. It's got to stop!!! Chemicals are everywhere. Your cells are tiny laboratories. One could argue that an entire human is a walking macromolecule. You ARE chemistry. Your cells need the right chemistry, they DON'T need a bunch of crushed up plant matter in ethanol. Support brands who care about science and who stick to the research and what works for skin. Don't support brands who sell products based on fear and ignorance of the ingredients and who slap "natural" labels everywhere. /rant edit: obligatory THANK YOU FOR GOLD! omg I never thought my period-ranty-bitchiness would earn me gold!
