Personal Care Products

We live in an increasingly toxic world. If you're sensitive to the synthetic chemicals found in many personal care products or worried about their long-term affects on your health, you can prevent allergic reactions and decrease your toxic load by using natural, safe personal care products.

Hypoallergenic Soap and Hypoallergenic Moisturizer

The chemicals and synthetic fragrances that fill many commercial soaps and moisturizers can do more harm than good, especially in allergic individuals who may experience contact dermatitis from soap, shampoo and conditioner, or lotions. Those who suffer from eczema are also in need of skincare products that are effective yet non-irritating.

We offer several products that will help get you clean and moisturized safely - without all the irritating additives. Vanicream Skin Cream is an excellent solution for those with dry, sensitive skin. For those who desire lighter coverage, Vanicream Lite Lotion is the answer; like the Skin Cream, this Lite Lotion contains no perfumes, lanolin, dyes, formaldehyde, or parabens. Free & Clear Liquid Cleanser, as its name suggests, is also free of fragrances or chemicals that often irritate the skin. Use it all over - face, hands, and body. For your hair, use Free & Clear Shampoo and Conditioner, which are specifically formulated to cleanse your scalp and hair without any chemicals.

Natural Deodorant

Deodorants and antiperspirants are particularly allergenic and chemical-laden personal care products, containing aluminum, parabens, triclosan, TEA, DEA, dyes, and fragrances, among other things. Many of these toxic ingredients are carcinogenic, and no labels will warn you of their dangers. Many people experience side-effects such as contact dermatitis from these chemicals, but their long-term effects are even more serious. For instance, aluminum is a neurotoxin that accumulates in the body and has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. To avoid these poisonous ingredients, or to find relief from skin irritation caused by your deodorant, try the Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal. It's completely natural, using mineral salts to kill odor-causing bacteria, and is available as a roll-on, in widestick form, or as a spray.

Natural Insect Repellant

Many commercial insect repellants contain DEET, a type of diethyl toluamide. While it's important to protect yourself against insect bites and the serious diseases they can carry, DEET poses its own dangers, especially with prolonged exposure. Natural insect repellants are a great alternative for those who experience sensitivity to DEET and other chemicals in conventional insect repellant, or for those who wish to minimize their overall chemical load. Herbal Armor DEET Free Insect Repellant is made of a blend of five essential oils and is gentle enough for people who suffer from MCS, and yet 100% effective in repelling ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects for up to two hours per application.

Personal Air Purifiers

You may do a lot at home to keep allergens and chemical irritants out of your environment; but you don't always have this type of control. Personal air purifiers are great for purifying the air in an especially troublesome area, or for taking with you while traveling or at the office. The Blueair Airpod is a particularly stylish and portable option, coming in four distinct models to fit your surroundings or personality. Amaircare's Roomaid Air Purifier filters out allergens and chemicals, and is great for use in areas where pollution or other fumes are a problem. The AllerAir Air Tube is an ideal option for taking to the office, especially if you're sensitive to new carpet smells, printing chemicals, or your co-worker's perfume. Personal air purification is possible even on air planes with the Plane Clean Air Filter, which fits over existing air vents and helps you avoid both germs and allergens while you fly.
