Your microbiome is a community of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and viruses—that exist throughout your body. The gut microbiome is crucial for digestion and health, while your skin microbiome protects against damage and dryness. An imbalanced microbiome can lead to conditions like acne, psoriasis, diabetes and more.

Heal your microbiome, and your microbiome will heal you.

Your skin, the largest organ of your body, has its own microbiome and plays a crucial role in overall health. Products applied to the skin are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver and kidneys, which normally filter out toxins. This makes it essential to be even more mindful of what you put on your skin.

Check the ingredients in your shampoo, creams and deodorant.

A little here, a little there—small exposures every day, add up.

This gradual accumulation of toxins from repeated exposure to harmful substances is called cumulative toxicity. Over time, it can overwhelm your body’s detoxification pathways, leading to chronic health conditions such as systemic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and immune impairments.

Toxic burden refers to the accumulation of harmful toxins in the body over time. These toxins come from various sources including—food, water, air, personal care products, cookware, food storage containers, clothing and household cleaners.

Additional sources include stress, infections, medications, solvents, heavy metals and EMF radiation.

When your toxic burden is too high, the body goes into fu*k you mode. With chaos everywhere, it struggles to manage and detoxify effectively, leading to severe health issues such as cancer, endocrine disruption and immune dysfunction to name a few.

Keeping your toxic burden low allows your body to handle and eliminate toxins more efficiently, reducing the risk of serious health problems which are all too common these days.

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your body’s hormonal system. They mimic, block or alter hormones, leading to imbalances and a range of health issues, from infertility to cancer. Common endocrine disruptors include BPA, phthalates and parabens, found in everyday products like plastics, cosmetics and pesticides. Reducing exposure to these chemicals helps maintain hormonal balance and protect long-term health.

Toxic chemicals wreak havoc on our bodies. They cause skin irritation, disrupt hormones and lead to a host of long-term health issues, including but not limited to — cancer, reproductive dysfunction, organ toxicity and birth defects. These chemicals, aka poisons, also harm aquatic and terrestrial life, contributing to environmental degradation.

Because, duh!

Your healthy choices create a healthier environment for everyone. Switching to non-toxic products dramatically impacts your well-being—and the health of our planet.

While some benefits, like improved skin clarity, can be seen quickly, others might take time as your body detoxifies and your microbiome heals. Non-toxic products can help alleviate various skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis by supporting a healthy skin microbiome and reducing irritation.

Ditch chemical sunscreens—they’re poisonous for you, coral reefs and marine life. Steer clear of toxic ingredients like avobenzone, oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene and homosalate. Most of these are even banned in Hawaii!

Choose mineral sunscreens—Go for organic, reef-safe and toxin-free mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc oxide that protect you against both UVA and UVB rays.

Save your skin. Save wildlife. Save our planet.

Yes! Many everyday products contain squalene—a compound made from shark liver oil. It’s found in products like lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows, moisturizers, hair conditioners, face cleansers, deodorants, sunscreens and lip balms. Cosmetics use accounts for 90% of shark liver oil production worldwide, resulting in approximately 2.7 million deep-sea shark deaths per year.

Over 60 shark species are targeted for their liver oil, with 26 listed as Vulnerable to Extinction by the IUCN. Deep-sea sharks are particularly sought after because their livers can constitute up to 20% of their body weight. Squalene is also used in medicinal pills, vaccines, supplements, lubricants and cleaning agents.

Current labeling laws don’t require companies to reveal the use of shark-based squalene. Some companies even falsely promote ‘squalene’ as plant derived when it’s actually derived from sharks. By opting for products that are non-toxic and do not exploit animals, we can help end the destructive use of sharks in cosmetics and protect these endangered creatures.

Greenwashing is when companies intentionally mislead us into believing that their products are clean, green and safe. They use a variety of tactics to create a false impression that they are safe for our body and good for our environment. Don’t fall for their brainwashing or greenwashing.

We’re conditioned to take advice from experts without question. It’s about time we start questioning these so-called “experts.”

Just because a doctor recommends it doesn’t mean it’s good for you. After all, they’ve pushed everything from opioids to unnecessary surgeries. Dermatologists? Equally clueless. Many of them endorse or sell products loaded with toxic ingredients, turning their medical degree into a sales pitch that benefits their pockets. They’re just reading a script, no pun intended.

Loaded with toxic ingredients—whether celeb-endorsed brands or glossy magazine features. Celebrities, aestheticians, dermatologists, magazine writers, and social media influencers may seem like experts, but their knowledge of ingredients is often questionable at best. Don’t be seduced by the hype—it’s the blind leading the blind.

There’s one company I trust that’s truly clean, toxin-free, cruelty-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, talc-free, and more. Plus, they genuinely care about the planet—it shows in every detail, big and small. Want to know more? Contact me for the details!
