I used to think my headaches, skin flare-ups, and random waves of fatigue were just normal. I never connected them to the everyday products I was using—until I started actually reading the ingredient labels. Once I did… I couldn’t unsee it.

These are the first 10 swaps I made when I started my clean living journey. Each one made a difference, and together? They’ve completely transformed how I feel in my body and in my home.

✨ Top 10 Non-Toxic Swaps

1. Toothpaste
I never thought twice about what I was brushing my teeth with—until I realized mine had triclosan, fluoride, and artificial sweeteners. I made the switch and noticed my mouth actually felt cleaner.
✅ I now use: Risewell, David’s, Boka, or Just Ingredients.

2. Deodorant
This one took me a while to get right. My old deodorant had aluminum and fragrance (hello, hormone disruption). Once I swapped, the irritation I had under my arms disappeared.
✅ I love: Humble, Salt & Stone, Cleo & Coco, Agent Nateur, THAI stone

3. Shampoo + Conditioner
My scalp used to be constantly itchy and dry… I just thought it was normal. Then I learned about sulfates and parabens hiding in my hair care. Game-changer.
✅ I trust: Rahua, Evolvh, Innersense, Acure

4. Body Wash + Soap
This one was huge for my skin. I used to feel tight and dry after every shower, but now my skin feels nourished and calm.
✅ Favorites: Aleavia, 100% Pure, Honest, Ursa Major, Dr. Bronners, OSEA (CLEANLIVING)

5. Laundry Detergent
I didn’t realize how harsh conventional detergents were on my skin until I switched. No more mystery rashes or lingering synthetic smells on clothes.
✅ Go-to’s: Truly Free, Branch Basics, Molly Suds, Dr. Bronners

6. Household Cleaners
These were some of the most toxic products I had in my home. Once I swapped them out, I actually liked the smell of cleaning. And my air felt lighter.
✅ I use: Branch Basics, Truly Free, Force of Nature

7. Dish Soap
It took me a while to find a NON TOXIC dish soap that ACTUALLY works. This is the only one I use.
✅ I swear by: Truly Free (THE BEST!!!)

8. Candles
This was hard because I LOVE cozy scents. But I didn’t love the headaches that followed. I now only burn candles I trust, and they still smell amazing.
✅ Favorites: Fontana Candle Co, Amber Vale Home, Meaningful Mantras, Slow North

9. Skincare (Moisturizers + Serums)
My skin used to freak out with random breakouts and redness. Once I got rid of products with parabens and PEGs, everything changed.
✅ I rotate: OSEA (CLEANLIVING), Indie Lee, Cocokind, Clearstem (CLEANLIVINGKARLY)

10. Makeup
I realized I didn’t have to sacrifice performance for clean. My makeup looks better now and I feel better wearing it.
✅ My top picks: RMS Beauty (KARLY-20), Saie, Honest Beauty, Ogee
