After I threw all of my chemically materialized self care products in the trash and then dumped it out to eliminate these products from my life, I had the exciting task of finding personal care products that my body would thank me for. One of my passions is searching for products that I know are safe for my body so that I can do everything I can to protect my body and especially my thyroid. One of my places to shop is Trader Joe’s which is where I buy my favorite bar of soap, but many of the products I use I actually buy online.
Oil That is Great For You
I use coconut oil for almost everything: my body, face, hair, and I literally use it to pull bacteria from my mouth. Interestingly, I use organic olive oil on my face and my body. Humans have been using different types of oils for centuries to manifest beautiful skin and because they have antibacterial and protective properties. They also happen to be incredible, natural moisturizers.
Facial Products
I use Jane Iredale products for my facial primer. The company boasts how skin-positive they are and how they value ingredients that change your body for the better.

Real Purity: I’m A Healthy Customer
There are so many products that I buy from this beautiful company. They truly care about the environment and everyone in it. They are completely cruelty-free and paraben-free. Here are some of the products that I love to use:
Dewberry Lipstick: Not only does it have the most adorable name, but it is also great for your lips. This product hydrates and protects them from the sun while using organic aloe vera extract, candelilla wax, and sweet almond oil.
Matte Cocoa Eyeshadow: Instead of using harmful ingredients Real Purity uses minerals. Minerals like mica and iron oxide along with Vitamin E provides skin nourishment and UV protection. It also has pycnogenol that keeps your eyes away from harsh chemicals. Oh, and the color looks amazing and would match any skin tone!
Honey Beige Foundation: A core element in this product is distilled water that helps unclog your pores and protects your skin from the sun. I adore the complex shades and undertones.

The Organic Skin Company
I absolutely love this amazing company. I just can’t say enough, but here is what I will say. They not only care about putting out products that are beautiful, but their makeup is a skincare product, basically being a double agent They really care about the people that buy from them. You can tell that they care about your well-being when you look up the company. They have done the research for me, they know about the beauty industry’s terrible toxic ingredients and that is why their makeup is composed all naturally – nothing synthetic. They include ingredients like sunflower oil, antioxidant supercritical extracts, and organic aloe vera; all of which replenish your skin, instead of damage it. When you read the ingredients you can read them with ease. Pronouncing the words is easy too! I use their Luminizer on my upper cheek which shimmers and revitalizes your skin with ingredients like pomegranate, rosemary, and calendula supercritical extracts. I also use their Eye Shadow Cream in beige, brown, and golden colors. The cream base lights up my face while repairing my skin and I can feel safe to know that the ingredients are good for me.
Cleanliness for your Mouth
Pharmaca’s Himalayan Complete Care Toothpaste’s Simply Mint is what makes my mouth shine with health. It is basically a detox for your mouth.
My Body’s Gratitude:
It takes a Health Detective to decipher what products are good for you and what are not. It takes that extra step: doing research and making the decision to choose your health and purchase products that are going to be great for your health and that means the products that you place onto your skin. It is not easy to accept that not every company is looking out for your well-being, and in fact, most are not. My life has been transformed through my education and research on these topics and the products that I use to make me a healthier, more beautiful me. My hope is that you take action too because you and your body deserve it!
