Are your feminine care products toxic? Need some natural female problem support?


 
 
 
 
 
I'm going to get a little personal here about a terrible panty liner experience .
 
 As I become more chemical free my body has become even more sensitive to chemicals than ever before . Just like food , your body,  because it's so amazing when its healthy screams when something goes in your tummy or on your body that simply doesn't belong .
The feminine products that are pictured above are the ones I've been using for quite while now and I LOVE them . I purchase them at Whole Foods but you can get them online as well . The tampons come in a teeny weeny box (eco! yippee) with very minimal packaging .
 
I love shopping with planet conscious companies !!
 
And so the story goes :
 
One time I ran out and couldn't get to Whole Foods so I went to the Dollar store and grabbed some cheesy brand . A week later I started to have issues , ended up at the Gyno with a yeast infection .. and then again .. It had never even dawned on me, nor did the Dr. mention it could be my feminine products . One day I had an epiphany that the panty liners could be the culprit , bought my organic liners and my irritation went away immediately ! I now stock up and never run out lol .
I did some research and found out just how bad they really can be and wanted to pass along this info to you !

What's in my makeup bag ? Video


 What you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your body . The chemicals from our beauty products are absorbed through the skin and into our bloodstream and can have negative effects on our health including messing with our microbiome . The beauty industry is a very scary and unregulated industry . These chemicals can mess with your hormones, cause fertility problems and even cancer . Babies are being born with over 200 chemicals in their blood . We are living in very scary times but we have choices !  We have the power to take control of our bodies and health and that is pretty fabulous if you ask me !  

 

When I first began switching the products I was using  I referred to the EWG website (which you will find below ) and just started replacing my cosmetics one by one with the healthier options . The makeup pictured above is actually the contents of my cosmetic bag right now . Gabriel and Mineral fusion are my favorite brands and I get them at Whole Foods . I also use Physicians formula as pictured here but typically when I'm in a bind . They only make a couple truly chemical free products so you have to be more careful with that company.
