Ahhhh Humble Deodorant Whos using @humblebrands Our most popular natural deodorant for a reason. Im also proud to be 1 of 2 Canadian distributors for this amazing brand Conventional beauty products can contain harmful chemicals that disrupt our body’s natural functions. Many natural deodorants have an ingredient list that is long and confusing, resulting in products that agitate skin and fail to control odor. At Humble Brands, we’re committed to using the simplest,... cleanest, most effective set of ingredients out there. And they smell great too. The American Journal of Public Health published a report showing that nearly 100% of what we put on our armpits is absorbed into our body. And recent studies from the Journal of the American Medical Association are proving that harmful ingredients can enter our bloodstream after just one use.We don't use clean, all-natural ingredients because it's trendy. We do it because clean ingredients are not only safe to use day to day but also really effective at neutralizing odor. Saying goodbye to icky chemicals doesn't mean saying goodbye to staying dry and B.O. free. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Unlike conventional deodorants that mask body odors, our safe, effective ingredients work hard to balance your body's bacteria naturally and prevent smelling pits. Plus, our deodorants are made with the fewest ingredients on the market - ingredients that are always aluminum-free,paraben-free, fragrance-free andcruelty-free.

Happy Monday I love this quote. It speaks true to me personally when I'm shopping for my family but also for my store. I get requests for brands alot....sometimes their the "popular" or well known brands....truthfully....im not interested in most of them. When I created the store my vision was not only to bring chemical free products to my community but to stick with brands I love, brands I believe in. I like working with the "little guys". To see small makers thrive warms... my heart. The relationship I have with these small makers is something I'd never have with larger companies and Im so thankful for them. When your shopping dont always follow the fads, give them little guys a shot because these ladies are moving mountains @sisunaturals @charcoal.and.rosepetals @the.copper.bell @rhymeswithorang3 @fruitageofthefield @herbmarketbotanicals @plentyandspare @beeyondthehivewraps @sigridnaturals @parkdalebutter See more

One of our most popular sellers and a must have in every medicine cabinet @sigridnaturals Calendula healing balm Calendula oil has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that might make it useful in healing wounds, soothingeczema, and relieving diaper rash. It’s also used as an antiseptic... The anti-inflammatory properties are thanks to calendula flower’s potent dose of flavonoid, saponins, and triterpenoids. These give calendula the ability toprevent your body’s release of histamines, which can cause redness, pain, allergies, and inflammation. And when it comes to treating breakouts, calendula’s gentle nature means it won’t dry your skin out and is safe to use with other anti-acne ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. For hundreds of years, calendula has been a go-to ingredient for wound healing. In fact, one study even found thatcalendula significantly decreased the healing time for C-section scars.

Does a chemical that may cause cancer lurk in your cosmetics? Worse, in yourkids personal care items? According to data from the federal Food and Drug Administration, nearly 1 in 5 cosmetic products contains a substance that generatesformaldehyde, a known human carcinogen. The product label wont tell you if formaldehyde is present, even though the manufacturer has made sure a small amount of it is inside in the jar or bottle, to prolong shelf life. If you dont want a pr...oduct that contains a formaldehyde-releasing chemical, you have to play detective and scrutinize the product label. Chemicals in this category include: DMDM hydantoin Imidazolidinyl urea Diazolidinyl urea Quaternium-15 Bronopol (2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol ) 5-Bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane Hydroxymethylglycinate

I also continue to strive to support small businesses whenever I can You will now find @charcoal.and.rosepetals body lotion on our shelves Did you know - most commercially available lotions use mineral oil as their primary "moisturizing agent", a synthetic product made from petroleum. Our l...otion only uses quality, all-natural oils including jojoba and apricot kernel oil to moisturize and sooth the skin.

Say no to clorox I know its easy and convenient to pull out a Clorox wipe for a quick clean in the kitchen, but dont! Never use Clorox wipes to clean anything your mouth will touch. They contain chemicals that could be harmful if ingested.

Instead, try our disinfectant spray by Sisu naturals !... Its an all natural disinfectant spray, safe for any surface and most importantly, your health!

Hey guys! here is why you should switch your dental floss for Flosspot! Flosspot is a mini mason jar filled with luxurious silk dental floss, lightly waxed for strength and ease of use between tight teeth, lab tested for purity. Because they are from nature, they would quickly return to nature and are completely 100% compostable. ... Most other floss is made out of nylon, another non-biodegradable material, meaning more landfill time. That is, if the nylon even makes it to a landfill Being such a small piece of litter, dental floss, and other types of small plastic, often get swept up in the disposal process and end up in the ocean Come visit the store or shop online to check Flosspot out !
