You’ve Lost Your Mind
Those are the words that I’m sure go through my husband’s head any time, I am looking to purchase a new, natural, body care product. First I must read the ingredients. Then look it up and read any information available. And of course I must compare it to at least one other product. But he is patient and loves me even when I act crazy in public. Although, he does prefer it when I just order online from the privacy of our home. That way people don’t hear me say things like, “Ew I don’t want that one. It has endocrine disruptors. Why on earth is that in the natural section? Somebody has been green washed.”

How to Find the Best Natural Body Care Products
Read the Label
When looking for natural body care products there are 3 key things to look for: parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Parabens, sulfates, and phthalates are commonly used in conventional body products. Parabens can mimic estrogen which causes problems with your hormones and have even been linked to breast cancer. Sulfates strip the oils from your skin. But they’ve also been shown to leave residue in the heart, lungs, and brain. Phthalates are linked to all sorts of products including obesity, cancer, infertility, asthma, and behavior problems. Personally, I’d like to pass on all of those lovely side effects.
Scan it With the EWG App
Once I’ve looked over the label for the big 3, I’ll scan it with the EWG app. This gives products a hazard score. I prefer things that score a 1 or 2, but if I can’t find anything, I’ll go up to a 4. You can read about the ingredients and the associated concerns.
Best Natural Skin Care Products
Deodorant
I have made my own deodorant for a while now, so I can’t say that I have a product that I personally love. But I do know of a company that I love that sells it. Toups & Co has a tallow based deodorant that I would use, if I were to purchase deodorant again.
Moisturizer
Tallow balm takes it away as far as a moisturizer is concerned. Toups and Co has an excellent Original Tallow Balm that is perfect for dry skin. For regular body lotion, give Everyone Lotion a try.
Soap
I personally find that castile soap is the perfect soap for just about everything. Hands, body, dishes, you name it. I like to use Dr. Bronner’s unscented soap so that I can use some essential oils to make it do whatever I need it to be.
Sunscreen
I always pick mineral sunscreen, but I prefer to use the Badger Sport Mineral Sunscreen Cream. If that happens to run out and I can’t find any I’ll use the EWG app to scan what mineral sunscreens are available. I’d rather be protected than burnt.
Best Natural Skin Care Products for the Face
Face Cream
The hands down winner here is the Frankincense Tallow Balm from Toups & Co. I use it every single day. If you prefer a bit of sun protection in your face cream, then try the Sun Balm. I use and love both. They don’t leave my skin feeling oily and aren’t heavy on the skin.
Makeup
I’ll admit right now that I am not a makeup girl. I have worn it once and that was on my wedding day because my mom said it was required. I love my freckled face and do nothing to cover it up. If I were to have a makeup required event, I would pick Toups & Co. They are seriously the best skin care that I have found.
Cleanser & Astringent
There is nothing wrong with some unscented castile soap to wash your face. I like to jazz it up a bit to make my own foaming face wash, but it could be used straight from the jug. For a cleaner that isn’t soap or an astringent, I always pick witch hazel. I’m not loyal to a brand, so I’ll scan whatever is on sale at TJ Maxx with the EWG app.
Best Natural Oral Care Products
Toothpaste
I no longer use toothpaste except on my retainers. Tooth powder has become my preferred way to clean those pearly whites. Earthley has several flavors of tooth powder. What sold me on the idea was that my sensitivity totally disappeared. No toothpaste, no pain.
Mouthwash
Conventional mouthwash is not good for you. It is totally unnecessary. Although I make some mouthwash , I use as a way to apply essential oils in the mouth. You would be better off oil pulling. So for mouthwash, I would suggest coconut oil for oil pulling. If you’ve never heard of oil pulling, look it up. It healed my cavities without any drilling.
Best Natural Hair Care Products
Shampoo
This was a serious struggle, when switching to natural products. I could not find a shampoo that I liked and that didn’t leave my hair greasy. The Everyone Soap 3 in 1 is a winner. I’ll often find it at TJ Maxx. My favorite is the Vanilla + Lavender scent.
Conditioner
Coconut oil is the winner here as well. I’ll rub it in my damp hair and then run a brush through it. It may be simple, but it works.
Hairspray
I’ll be honest, I never use hairspray anymore. I pick hairstyles that don’t need it. If I were to need hairspray again, I would try Afterworld Organics Flex Hold Hairspray.
