Toxins, Hormones & Skin: Why Your Products Could Be Working Against You
Your skincare could be sabotaging your skin.
Many conventional products contain chemicals that mimic hormones, clog detox pathways, and irritate your skin barrier.
Common Offenders
-
Parabens: Mimic estrogen and can disrupt balance.
-
Phthalates: Found in “fragrance,” linked to hormone and fertility issues.
-
Triclosan: Affects thyroid and gut bacteria.
-
Synthetic Fragrance: A major trigger for irritation and inflammation.
Why This Matters
Your skin absorbs what you put on it. Over time, those exposures can add up fueling hormonal imbalance, acne, and skin irritation. Clean swaps protect both your hormones and your complexion.
What You Can Do
✨ Choose “fragrance-free” or essential-oil-based scents.
✨ Look for EWG Verified or Made Safe labels.
✨ Simplify your routine—fewer products = less exposure.
✨ Read your labels and start swapping for toxic free options
Key Takeaway
Healthy skin starts with clean ingredients. Every swap you make reduces your body’s toxin burden—and helps your skin breathe, balance, and glow.
