My Top 5 Favorite Non Toxic Skincare Products
Making the Switch to Primally Pure
I used to think this “non toxic” thing was just a fad made up by crunchy, oil diffusing mom bloggers. That was until I took a long hard look at my life. I was struggling with a decade long battle with my adult acne – and worse than that – I was filled with anxiety, had an extremely short temper and low energy levels. Through hours of research, I found that there was a link between the harmful chemicals we use on our skin and the hormonal balance within our body. Here’s an awesome article on it. Making the switch to toxin free products for my body and my home has been a complete game changer! Not only is my acne disappearing, but my hormones are leveling out – meaning I have more energy, more patience for my children (and husband 😉 ), less brain fog, and my overall happiness is through the roof.
Primally Pure is my all time favorite skin care line. They harness the power of nature to create natural products that nurture your skin and your body without disrupting your hormones. It’s full of ingredients that I can actually pronounce, and that bring out the best in your skin.

Here are my TOP FIVE picks to get you started:
The best part is, you can snag them all for UNDER $100
Lavender Deodorant
If you’re making the switch to toxin free, I recommend starting with the deodorant. It smells so great, and you don’t have to worry about rubbing aluminum on your skin every day. Click here for tips on switching to natural deodorant.
Cleansing Oil
Using a cleansing oil instead of soap might take you a minute to get used to, but it works wonders at pulling the toxins out of your pores and leaves your skin so soft and smooth – I don’t even have to use moisturizer after cleansing.
Complexion Mist
Instead of soaking my skin in harsh astringents using benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to dry out my pimples and face, I spray this pampering Neroli Complexion mist on every morning – or whenever I feel like a boost – to calm and heal my skin minimizing redness and acne. The Neroli is my favorite, but rotate with one of their other complexion mists for the full benefits. I love using the Lavender before bed to help me relax.
Lip Balm
I’m a bit of a lip balm freak. I CAN’T STAND dry lips. Much to the annoyance of my husband, I keep them stashed throughout my house and car so that I am NEVER not within arms reach of a reapplication. Once I made the switch to Primally Pure lip balm I honestly don’t need it nearly as much. It actually heals and nourishes my lips instead of masking the problem in a layer of wax.
Palmarosa + Mint Beauty Cream
Goodbye dry skin! This luxurious beauty cream blends fats and plant oils to create a nourishing cream that fights aging and hydrates skin. I love putting this on before bed, and waking up to glowing skin.
Take it to the next level with one of their Skin Specific Serums, or my favorite, the Fancy Face Serum (bonus: they even have a pregnancy and breastfeeding safe version). And don’t miss out on the Dry Shampoo – they have two versions, for light and dark locks, and its an absolute must for this busy farm girl and mom of three!
