My Favorite Clean Beauty Products (+ some dirtier ones I can't let go)

I started “cleaning” up my beauty and household a couple years ago when my husband and I were about ready to start a family. (synthetic fragrance and parabens etc are hormone disrupters!) I detailed the household items I cleaned up in a series I called “Detoxing my Charleston Home”. You can read a summary here. I haven’t talked much about the beauty items I’ve transitioned to, well, because I am no beauty blogger but after two years I’ve found quite a few I’ve loved and want to share with you.

Detoxing My Charleston Home | UPDATE

Last summer I started detoxing our home, partially for general health reasons but also because during my research when we were trying to conceive, I learned a lot about hormone disrupters in our homes that can affect fertility.

Detoxing My Charleston Home Week No. 4 | Scented Candles

When my husband and I first started dating I told him if he’s stuck on a gift to get me for whatever holiday, a candle or massage (or both) will do. I LOVE candles. Unfortunately in the process of this detox project I have discovered that all the fragrances in my beloved candles (balsam and cedar, clean cotton. . . if you know, you know) are made up of many toxins. *sigh* But don’t worry, I have solutions for us!

Detoxing My Charleston Home

It’s 2019 and our world is pretty dang toxic. We are exposed to hundreds more chemicals than our ancestors were, from what we eat, drink, breathe, put on our bodies, etc. Unfortunately we can’t live in a bubble and escape all of it. But we can make better choices. If it weren’t for me, my husband would still be eating Poptarts for breakfast and drinking from water bottles he left in his car in the heat of summer (CRINGE). I’ve taken it upon myself to make our home a healthier place for ourselves and for our future children.
