Toms toothpaste is not as natural as most people think. In fact, it's owned by Colgate. Toms toothpaste contains aluminum, zinc chloride, titanium dioxide, SLS, etc. You should try David's toothpaste. That way you're using something that is much more natural and also supporting a great business. Also, they list all their ingredients on their website and the purpose for each ingredient :)
Ive used Toms for a couple years and then I found about sls All I know about sls is that you can have mouth ulcers so now I use dessert essence mega mint I’m very happy :)
Yes! I add a couple of drops of cinnamon bark and clove essential oils for taste. I don't have the time to do it every day but when I do, I definitely feel the difference.
I love this! I use young living products like their toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash! All of their products are nontoxic and can be used for so many different ways! I love Dr. Bronner's unscented castile soap. I use my essential oils in my soap and switch it up every once in a while!
I would love to see a washroom tour. I constantly search videos of minimalist/decluttered washrooms .. I’ve been on a decluttering journey and trying to use up lotions and body products and it makes me so happy to see decluttered washrooms with products people consider their must have/essential products
Once you start researching what’s in makeup, you’ll freak! tons of chemicals and mostly “shelf-life” ingredients that’ll damage your skin and age you way quicker. If you’re looking to make a switch, but not a complete one, start with changing your base (foundation/concealer/powder/blush): 100% Pure and FitGlowBeauty are my favorite natural makeup brands I’ve tried so far.
The Castille soup is my favorite! I dilute it down for hand wash (about 1 part soap to 4 parts water) in my bathroom and my hands don’t get chapped anymore. I also use a few drops in a cup of water to clean my makeup brushes.
It's great to see more people are thinking about what they're putting into and onto their bodies here on YT! I love Nature's Answer PerioBrite mouthwash. I'm not a big fan of mint (they have two mint varieties if you are) so I use the Cinnamint. It tastes great and you can get it from Vitacost and Wholefoods. I was not a fan of the PerioBrite toothpaste but the mouthwash is amazing and leaves my breath and teeth feeling clean and refreshed. Natural deodorant is probably the most difficult product to replace. I tried a lot of c-f natural brands and either they don't work, give me a rash or they made me feel wet/sweat more (ah hem - I'm talking about Lavanilla on the last one). I now use a crystal stone or the Crystal spray deodorant. I have to wash my pits twice a day which is inconvenient but I'm willing to do it to keep fresh. Schmidt's was recent sold (angry face) to Unilever so I won't buy theirs anymore but they have some new varieties in pots that are pretty good. Good luck with your journey to clean beauty. It's hard in the beginning but it get easier I promise!
Great video! I've recently started transitioning to natural products myself and using essential oils. I really enjoy using DoTerra's clove essential oil on my toothpaste. I use the tiniest drop, it keeps my breath really fresh and my teeth feel extremely clean. I also floss and use a waterpic prior. After I'm done brushing I don't feel the need to use an additional mouth wash.
OMG I LOVE SCHMIDT'S! I'm currently using the Lavender & Sage one but when I run out I'm switching to the sensitive version of the scent which is Lavender Tips. It works better than any deodorant OR antiperspirant I've ever used, the latter of which really surprised me. And for those of you trying to go for zero waste, they also come in glass jars if you're okay with scooping it out and applying it with your fingers (I still use the stick one...).
Great video Allison!!!! I agree with you 100%. I am a work in progress and so is my lifestyle conversion of health and beauty products. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Hi!! If you find baking soda based natural deodorant bothersome to your armpits I would recommend Hola Deodorant. Hola Deodorants are coconut oil based and its lovely. I’m a big sweater but I find this product most effective for me. I do have to reapply halfway through the day but I’m ok with that. Thanks for your helpful video.
I switched a lot of my household items to essential oil based products. I like the Young Living Thieves product line. Their warning label says “if swallowed drinks lots of water” that’s it. So I feel comfortable when kids visit or having it around pets. They have cleaners, detergents and they have a great toothpaste and mouthwash. My dentist recommends it and carries it in their office. I love Schmidt’s Bergamot and Lime!
I'm a dental assistant try Therabreath, I love it, I like the more watery tasting mouth wash but they have Icey Mint. I prefer the green bottle, you can always buy peppermint extract and pour some of that in to give more flavor. :)
Try Jason's Tea Tree Oil and Cinnamon toothpaste and mouthwash. It's amazing and makes you feel so clean and refreshed. The mouthwash can burn a little bit but you can dilute it with water if you want.
Jane iredale is an amazing makeup line! Their powder foundation contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, making it an spf 20. That is my year round foundation!
100% pure is an incredible brand - it's definitely a bit more pricey, but it does not disappoint and the products last a long time because a little goes a long way. Definitely check them out! Also, Leahlani is a company based on Kuaui and the products are gorgeous. The range is super small, but their masks are TO DIE FOR. Acure is great as well - and affordable! I don't like their masks too much, but their brightening face scrub is a holy grail. Their moisturizing shampoo and conditioner are miracle workers. Their cleansers have been great as well! I'm so excited that you're diving into natural beauty! I started making the switch 5 years ago and slowly (as to not be wasteful and to be more economic) I replaced products with natural options. I hope you continue to search for different brands than what you see in stores because for the most part, the really great quality products are from small companies. That's the most beautiful thing about the natural beauty community is you can really get away from feeding into huge corporations and support entrepreneurs!
Omygosh!! I am doing the very same thing. I do hair and I am trying to eliminate chemicals from my backbar also. Thanks for your videos!! You’re closet clean out video changed my life!!!
Eminence Organic skincare!!! It's hand made in small batches, full of cold pressed ingredients. The price point isn't too bad either! My favourites (it's a huge line) are the herbal recovery face oil and the bamboo firming fluid. SO good!
i love the Schmidt's deodorant in the lavender scent! I have also noticed that it can come off on the underarm area on my clothes.. but the trade off is worth it to have no chemicals in my deo, and no more stinging underarms right after you shave yayyy
THANK YOU for talking about natural beauty products! I have started to transition to them, and it doesn't seem like many beauty bloggers talk about them! Great recommendations :)
I love the Live Clean products - shampoo & conditioner, body wash and their exfoliating face wash. Great scents and good quality. Also love Mrs. Meyer's dish/hand soap.
Dear Allison! Some recommendations from this side of the globe: Instead of body cream, use natural oils. Almond, jojoba e. g. Weleda has some great options! And for me the best natural deodorant is just coconut oil, baking powder and baking soda. I never believed it, but it works better than the very harsh chemicals!
The differences you noticed in the Schmidts deodorants are between the one with baking soda (a tan & grainy formula that can cause skin discoloration) and the sensitive skin formula (no baking soda). I too use the geranium scented stick and it is amazing!!!!
I use that same deodorant and love it. i began switching over to all cruelty-free, vegan products several months ago. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well everything works. This includes my makeup. A body lotion I love is the Everyone or EO brand which I get at Whole Foods.
I am trying to switch to more natural products too. I love the Acure brightening facial scrub and the Egyptian magic cream. Both are fantastic products. I need to try those deodorants. That has definitely been a difficult area.
Tom's Maine Mouth Wash is AMAZING. Tastes amazing, makes my mouth feel awesome, and I can definitely see a difference in the overall health of my mouth whenever I use it.
Coconut oil with peppermint oil for “mouth wash” and a copper tongue scraper are my natural mouth care go tos! And activated charcoal is INCREDIBLE for teeth whitening.
Chapstick! I always buy my chapstick from PCC or Whole Foods! I love anything made with coconut oil. I loved your video! I’m definitely going to check out the Castile soap and Toms of Maine Toothpaste.
hey allison, other natural products to try out: lotion: andalou naturals i especially like citrus sunflower scent. deodorant: the loccitane glass bottle of roller liquid deodorant. its the yellow bottle with a citrusy scent that i believe is only sold online on their site and not in stores. again thats just a deodorant and not an anti-persperant as i don't have too big of a perspiration issue. hope u try em out!
I LOVE using hunny as face wash it is antibacterial and gets rid of oil but keeps moisture and makes your skin silky smooth. Toms lavender deodorant is pretty good for an every day deodorant but if it's especially hot that day or you are working out I don't recommend.
I really like the way your channel is going. I really enjoy watching you grow and taking us along with you. I like that you are discovering what is important to you and being true to that!
I definitely recommend the brand Primally Pure for natural products. I’ve been using their lemongrass deodorant for a few years and it works amazingly well!
Try just lightly dusting your arm pits with baking soda infused with essential oil. I was shocked at how it absorbed odor. I've just accepted sweat is apart of life. Odor can be fixed lol,
You can make a great mouth wash with salt, warm water and essential oil. I use 2 drops of doterra on guard, peppermint, and tea tree/melaleuca. In a medium mason jar until it runs out.
I don't like using the Schmidts deodorant sticks because of the stains so i just use the jar in conjunction with a moisturizing oil and don't have any of the problems i had with the stick . I also love the Meow Meow Tweet baking soda free deodorant.
I recently switched to the Dr. Bronner's toothpaste, and I love it! I also really love Avalon Organics for their shampoos and conditioners, as well as their face washes. The switch to natural deodorant was definitely a process for me also! I love that you are sharing natural products!
The Sport Luxe La Vanilla deodorant is my favorite. I don’t smell, even after a workout. I also make my own failing hand soap with Castile Soap and essential oils. It smells amazing! I use Myers cleaning products now and they do a great job. Baby steps!!!
I like the Jason Powersmile toothpaste in cinnamon. Have tried many others, but this is the only one that doesn’t make me gag. Also, the Dr. Bronner’s almond scent is delightful.
I love Acure. They have great skin care too. I also use Dr. Bronner's peppermint toothpaste and 18 in 1 soap. Schmidt's gave me the same dark brown coloring under my arms and a horrible rash. So I switched to Primal Pit Paste. My Whole Foods just started carrying it in the stick form vs the jar! I also use Evanhealy skincare... it's definitely on the pricier side, but Whole Foods and Sprouts puts it on sale every now then. I love her philosophy on skincare.
Just finish taking off my mask! I completely agree that natural products are the way to go!!! & they keep your skin looking dewy and youthful with no hidden chemicals!
Oh my gosj, your cat is adorable! I love Dr bronners soap! It's such a good makeup brush cleanser too! I'd love to see a video on any natural skin care you use for your face too!
So glad that you're moving towards natural beauty products. I, too, went through countless natural deodorants until settling with Schmidts. Shea Moisture has a great clarifying shampoo that I swear by. I've tried the Acure version, but it didn't work out for me.
Malin + Goetz makes wonderful unisex and cruelty free skin, body, and haircare. RMS Beauty makes some fabulous makeup. I also really like Tarte as a more natural cosmetic line even though they aren't 100% natural. The Balm cosmetics makes some awesome more natural makeup as well. Fig and Yarrow also makes some awesome skincare products!
I went through the same issue with a charcoal deodorant. My armpits become dark and rough for the first time so thank you for sharing these two ones. I'm definitely going to give them a try! Great vid!
The Giovanni Haircare line is amazing for a natural, professional grade, affordable haircare option! Also essential oils are AMAZING and can be used in all different realms, from skincare to laundry to household cleaning. Trader Joe’s has an amazing baking soda based all natural toothpaste!
Great video! Thieves mouth wash from young living essential oils is great. It is yellow so you have to mind over matter at first, but it taste & work great.
You should make your own tooth powder instead of buying toothpaste! I started doing it years ago now, and my husband and I love it. I found a recipe online... it's mostly bentonite clay, some activated charcoal, some baking soda, a pinch of sea salt, and organic peppermint essential oil. It's also so travel friendly because it doesn't count as a liquid! You should try it! My dentist has asked what I use because she says my teeth are in great shape and so white (an awesome effect of the charcoal).
I make my own mouthwash with a good clean water... tea tree, peppermint & clove essential oils. Good to know about the sunscreen and the oceans.. I did not know that.. I do find it hard to buy the all over body each summer as it is so expensive.. but so worth it too.
I'm glad you mentioned sunscreens. We're told to apply sunscreen to stop cancer and yet they often contain carcinogens and other hazardous ingredients.
Just a note - that Toms of Maine toothpaste still DOES have sodium lauryl sulfate in it. They do have a "botanical" version that does not though. I'm sensitive to it, so I have to use SLS-free toothpaste...it's really hard to come by!
Just was gonna come here to say the same thing. I'm mega sensitive to SLS - the only readily available toothpaste I've found without it is Sensodyne (the green one, maybe others too, but I use the green one)
AbbyZinger I've been using Therabreath for a few months now, but it's SO EXPENSIVE. I switched from Tom's because I didn't like the taste, but I might alternate between the two to try and save a little money. Didn't know Sensodyne made one!
I agree about the Schmidts brand. I picked up one that was a lime scent and while it smelled so good, it gave me a horrible rash and turned my under arms really dark. Once I switched, I didn’t have that issue anymore! So crazy how they can affect each person differently.
@@DraMaWms i like it. it's different from regular toothpaste in that it doesn't foam up but i've been using it for years. haven't gone back to regular toothpaste :)
@@drbantayan Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback. I went to Target and they didn't have it in the store so I have to order it from the Target app.
I could talk about natural beauty and home products all day! I love Uncle Harry's Flouride Free Toothpaste, get it on Amazon. It's strong, but no other toothpaste makes my mouth still feel clean in the morning. Other favorites of mine are Dr. Bronner's peppermint toothpaste and Lavender Coconut Hand and Body lotion, Pacifica face washes and Native deodorant. Tea tree oil is my go-to spot treatment.
I love LaVanila deodorants! They are baking soda free, like the Schmidt's sensitive but they also have a probiotic in them which helps with irritation and balancing the bacteria since underarms can be prone to yeast infections. I just saw the Acure products at Target today and was curious about them, glad to know they are worth a try!
Soap nuts will change your life too! I just switched to them for laundry and made a cleaner from them too just by boiling a few! And you can compost them!
I use the Thieves Mouthwash from Young Living. It's great and has a lot of added benefits. I love the Lavanilla Sport Deodorant, the regular didn't work as well as the sport version does. I'm a huge essential oils fan. I switched to Doterra this year from Young Living and they have a whole skin care line that is amazing.
I absolutely appreciate you talking about the research you read and linking it below. No one does this on TH-cam so thank you! I use the Acure brand facial cleansing gel and a little goes a long way it's lovely!
I just made the switch to natural deodorant about a month ago and I'm so glad I did! If I had known about the stinky detox phase I probably would have done it sooner; I had gone back to aluminium deodorant before thinking natural just didn't work for me! :) Now I'm working on phasing out my skincare products for natural/better options. Thanks for the video!!
great video, so nice to see TH-camrs making the switch and talking about more natural, healthy products. I'm wondering if you have tried any more natural skincare products for the face? I would love to hear your thoughts on that if you have.
Loved this video so helpful! A vegan/natural chapstick that is great is Hurraw! They’re also cruelty free and have great scents/flavors! My favorite is the vanilla bean! A great natural mascara is from 100% pure. I have the brown one it smells like chocolate and is so good! Hands down the best natural mascara I’ve tried so far! I’m trying to go all cruelty free for my makeup/skincare so this video was very helpful! I’d love to see videos where you use natural makeup! It’s so hard to find products that work!
You are right on the natural deodorant! Mine stopped working so of course I went back to trusty aluminum...after four years of natural...I’m going to switch back again!
Loved this Allison! I love using Smooth Naturals Beautiful Face Ultimate Hydrate Serum with Hyaluronic Acid. I want to try Marvin's toothpaste. I hear great things about them.
Yesss so happy to hear you talking about natural products!! So interesting 🙌🏼
Jaclyn Forbes I agree.

Toms toothpaste is not as natural as most people think. In fact, it's owned by Colgate. Toms toothpaste contains aluminum, zinc chloride, titanium dioxide, SLS, etc. You should try David's toothpaste. That way you're using something that is much more natural and also supporting a great business. Also, they list all their ingredients on their website and the purpose for each ingredient :)
have you found David's instore? I'm super curious to try it, but after shipping it's a little pricy! Thanks for the rec!
eliebellie omg they had a huge lawsuit a few years about trying to be natural
I haven't but the dermstorm sells it and they always do free shipping! :) i always buy three tubes at a time, haha
There’s plenty of green/natural toothpastes out there, without fluoride and all the other crap
Ive used Toms for a couple years and then I found about sls
All I know about sls is that you can have mouth ulcers so now I use dessert essence mega mint I’m very happy :)
Schmidts and Native deodorant are the best natural deodorants. You should try Native! I even like it more than Schmidts.
Native is the best ever! I have a bathroom cabinet full of natural deodorants that didn't work for me and then I found Native. Thank goodness!
I find natural deodorants from Etsy are literally so good and better in my opinion than mass made and branded "natural deodorants."
For an alterantive to mouth wash you should try oil pulling! Look into it it's amazing for the teeth and health of the mouth in general.
Yes! I add a couple of drops of cinnamon bark and clove essential oils for taste. I don't have the time to do it every day but when I do, I definitely feel the difference.
I love this! I use young living products like their toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash! All of their products are nontoxic and can be used for so many different ways! I love Dr. Bronner's unscented castile soap. I use my essential oils in my soap and switch it up every once in a while!
Love this for the summer! Smells divine!

Aleena Gharib and disrupt hormones!
Also Juice Beauty Stem CC is good, plus 30 SPF - at Ulta
www.freedomdeodorant.com
I wish natural makeup brands would expand their color range I'm pretty fair and still cant find anything dark enough which sucks
Aleena Gharib Chemicals can have a long term affect on your skin care.
Dr. Bronners castille soap is perfect for washing makeup brushes as well! 😍
You have to try the acure face scrub. It is the best!
The Castille soup is my favorite! I dilute it down for hand wash (about 1 part soap to 4 parts water) in my bathroom and my hands don’t get chapped anymore. I also use a few drops in a cup of water to clean my makeup brushes.
I am loving the Weleda citrus liquid/spay deodorant. Effective, no staining, long lasting, pleasant smell, no rash.
I’m so glad you didn’t cut out the interaction with your cat ❤ I love Whole Foods. I’ve found so many great swaps there ❤
It's great to see more people are thinking about what they're putting into and onto their bodies here on YT! I love Nature's Answer PerioBrite mouthwash.

I love the Dr Bronner for washing makeup brushes
Great video Allison!!!! I agree with you 100%. I am a work in progress and so is my lifestyle conversion of health and beauty products. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Im so glad you are switching to natural products!!
Native’s sensitive line deodorant in “peppermint”flavor around Christmas time🥰

I’m a big sweater but I find this product most effective for me. I do have to reapply halfway through the day but I’m ok with that. Thanks for your helpful video.
I love lush skin care! It has changed my skin. I barely get breakouts anymore. It’s fantastic!!!
Love that you’re starting to use natural products. I’m doing the same. I’m actually very allergic to chemical sunscreens. Love the Acure brand.

Omygosh!!

Yeah. Let’s try that in Arizona when it’s 115 outside 😂See how far baking soda and essential oils will take you😂

Jason Powersmile Brightening Peppermint Mouthwash! Better than any regular mouthwash I’ve tried! Love your videos x
Just finish taking off my mask! I completely agree that natural products are the way to go!!! & they keep your skin looking dewy and youthful with no hidden chemicals!
I switched to organic beauty products and never looked back! Some of my favorite brands are Alima, RMS, Pai, and Farmaesthetics.
Oh my gosj, your cat is adorable!
I love Dr bronners soap! It's such a good makeup brush cleanser too! I'd love to see a video on any natural skin care you use for your face too!
So glad that you're moving towards natural beauty products. I, too, went through countless natural deodorants until settling with Schmidts.
Shea Moisture has a great clarifying shampoo that I swear by. I've tried the Acure version, but it didn't work out for me.
Malin + Goetz makes wonderful unisex and cruelty free skin, body, and haircare. RMS Beauty makes some fabulous makeup. I also really like Tarte as a more natural cosmetic line even though they aren't 100% natural. The Balm cosmetics makes some awesome more natural makeup as well.
Fig and Yarrow also makes some awesome skincare products!
I’ve been using Tom’s Wicked Fresh mouthwash. I LOVE it!!
I went through the same issue with a charcoal deodorant. My armpits become dark and rough for the first time so thank you for sharing these two ones. I'm definitely going to give them a try! Great vid!
The Giovanni Haircare line is amazing for a natural, professional grade, affordable haircare option! Also essential oils are AMAZING and can be used in all different realms, from skincare to laundry to household cleaning. Trader Joe’s has an amazing baking soda based all natural toothpaste!
Great video! Thieves mouth wash from young living essential oils is great. It is yellow so you have to mind over matter at first, but it taste & work great.
You should make your own tooth powder instead of buying toothpaste! I started doing it years ago now, and my husband and I love it. I found a recipe online... it's mostly bentonite clay, some activated charcoal, some baking soda, a pinch of sea salt, and organic peppermint essential oil. It's also so travel friendly because it doesn't count as a liquid! You should try it! My dentist has asked what I use because she says my teeth are in great shape and so white (an awesome effect of the charcoal).
Clove oil is a great astringent and to brush with and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Be sure to dilute it with water will your used to it.
I really like the Dr. Brite mouthwash it leaves my mouth feeling minty and fresh
Your hair looks amazing! This is the perfect length for you.
I make my own mouthwash with a good clean water... tea tree, peppermint & clove essential oils. Good to know about the sunscreen and the oceans.. I did not know that.. I do find it hard to buy the all over body each summer as it is so expensive.. but so worth it too.
I'm glad you mentioned sunscreens. We're told to apply sunscreen to stop cancer and yet they often contain carcinogens and other hazardous ingredients.
Your hair looks so beautiful in this video!
Just a note - that Toms of Maine toothpaste still DOES have sodium lauryl sulfate in it. They do have a "botanical" version that does not though.
I'm sensitive to it, so I have to use SLS-free toothpaste...it's really hard to come by!
Oooh good to know! Now I see that some have it and some don't, definitely going to keep an eye out for that in the future. Thank you!
Just was gonna come here to say the same thing. I'm mega sensitive to SLS - the only readily available toothpaste I've found without it is Sensodyne (the green one, maybe others too, but I use the green one)
AbbyZinger I've been using Therabreath for a few months now, but it's SO EXPENSIVE. I switched from Tom's because I didn't like the taste, but I might alternate between the two to try and save a little money. Didn't know Sensodyne made one!
they've also been bought out by Colgate...
They also have carrageenan in it...ick
I agree about the Schmidts brand. I picked up one that was a lime scent and while it smelled so good, it gave me a horrible rash and turned my under arms really dark. Once I switched, I didn’t have that issue anymore! So crazy how they can affect each person differently.
Love desert essence: tea tree oil mouthwash. Ordered it from amazon.
drbantayan have you tried their toothpaste? Life altering 😍
i haven't. currently using dr. bronner's toothpaste but ill have to look into it. :)
@@drbantayan How do you like the Dr. Bronner's toothpaste? It's actually on my shopping list for this weekend.
@@DraMaWms i like it. it's different from regular toothpaste in that it doesn't foam up but i've been using it for years. haven't gone back to regular toothpaste :)
@@drbantayan Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback. I went to Target and they didn't have it in the store so I have to order it from the Target app.
Yay for going more green! Ok, two products to try that I highly recommend: David’s toothpaste and Dr Brite mouthwash. The BEST!
I could talk about natural beauty and home products all day! I love Uncle Harry's Flouride Free Toothpaste, get it on Amazon. It's strong, but no other toothpaste makes my mouth still feel clean in the morning. Other favorites of mine are Dr. Bronner's peppermint toothpaste and Lavender Coconut Hand and Body lotion, Pacifica face washes and Native deodorant. Tea tree oil is my go-to spot treatment.
I love LaVanila deodorants! They are baking soda free, like the Schmidt's sensitive but they also have a probiotic in them which helps with irritation and balancing the bacteria since underarms can be prone to yeast infections. I just saw the Acure products at Target today and was curious about them, glad to know they are worth a try!
Soap nuts will change your life too! I just switched to them for laundry and made a cleaner from them too just by boiling a few! And you can compost them!
Your hair is SO pretty!! I am inspired to go a little blonder earlier now!
I use the Thieves Mouthwash from Young Living. It's great and has a lot of added benefits. I love the Lavanilla Sport Deodorant, the regular didn't work as well as the sport version does. I'm a huge essential oils fan. I switched to Doterra this year from Young Living and they have a whole skin care line that is amazing.
I absolutely appreciate you talking about the research you read and linking it below. No one does this on TH-cam so thank you! I use the Acure brand facial cleansing gel and a little goes a long way it's lovely!
The Body Deli and Farmaesthetics have the best all natural skin care lines that I have found.
I just made the switch to natural deodorant about a month ago and I'm so glad I did! If I had known about the stinky detox phase I probably would have done it sooner; I had gone back to aluminium deodorant before thinking natural just didn't work for me! :) Now I'm working on phasing out my skincare products for natural/better options. Thanks for the video!!
great video, so nice to see TH-camrs making the switch and talking about more natural, healthy products. I'm wondering if you have tried any more natural skincare products for the face? I would love to hear your thoughts on that if you have.
Here in Ireland there is not a huge selection to choose from. However I love the DR. Oganics tea tree face wash and their Manuka honey face scrub.
Great review! I personally love to use Bite Beauty agave lip masks, and I fell in love with BrioGeo shampoo and conditioner they are amazing🤗
Schmidt's has yet to fail me! I've been using it for maybe 8 months (both in Florida and New York climates) and it has been great!
Honestly so glad you’re back
Loved this video so helpful! A vegan/natural chapstick that is great is Hurraw! They’re also cruelty free and have great scents/flavors! My favorite is the vanilla bean! A great natural mascara is from 100% pure. I have the brown one it smells like chocolate and is so good! Hands down the best natural mascara I’ve tried so far! I’m trying to go all cruelty free for my makeup/skincare so this video was very helpful! I’d love to see videos where you use natural makeup! It’s so hard to find products that work!
I know this might be late, but I love the LUSH creme de menthe mouthwash tabs
Have you tried the Desert Essence mouthwash? I also use Desert Essence toothpaste. Delightful.
You are right on the natural deodorant! Mine stopped working so of course I went back to trusty aluminum...after four years of natural...I’m going to switch back again!
Loved this Allison! I love using Smooth Naturals Beautiful Face Ultimate Hydrate Serum with Hyaluronic Acid. I want to try Marvin's toothpaste. I hear great things about them.
I love the Dr. Bronners Peppermint Toothpaste and the Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo. Best of the best.
