What matters most? What you put in or what you put on your body?

The answer is quite simply; both. Just like eating protein and vegetables give the body the fuel it needs to perform at a high level, using personal care products laced with toxic ingredients can also impact your performance over time. For example, some synthetic chemicals can mimic estrogen.

Your skin is your largest organ. It takes 26 seconds to absorb synthetic ingredients into your bloodstream. Did you also know that your skin absorption differs on different parts of your body? What you put on your forehead and scalp absorb 4x greater than the skin on yoru forearm.

The smell is REAL

You know that smell; the one that you can’t quite describe other than sweaty socks that boiled in onions, dipped in blue cheese, then microwaved. To rid yourself of this “aroma” you must destroy it at the root. We can help get on the CLEAN path. Fight the funk, naturally!

Ask the question:
Are your products performing for you?

We believe what you put on your body is as important as what you put in your body. Our products are free from chemicals, synthetics, parabens, artificial fragrances, carcinogens, and hormone-disrupting neurotoxins. In a world where many global mega-companies will add almost anything to their products, we took special care to find the safest and most effective natural ingredients today.

Our products have none of these ingredients!

No Synthetics
Our soap is actually soap. Most soap on the store shelves is really detergent! Seems backwards, right? Our soap is made with plant oils, such as coconut, castor, olive, and sunflower oils, all of which are found in nature. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives that most find challenging to pronounce.  

No Parabens
What are parabens? Parabens are chemical preservatives that are used in most shampoo and cosmetic products. These are the most talked about in the industry today and are found in products such as moisturizers, shampoos, shaving creams, and makeup. These are typically added to reduce the growth of bacteria and extend shelf life. Scientific studies suggest that parabens disrupt hormones in the body and harm fertility and reproductive organs. They also can cause skin irritation.

No Artificial Fragrances
Artificial fragrances are just as they sound. Artificial. Manufacturers use toxic chemicals to create synthetic fragrances without disclosing what they are made of. So next time you see “fragrance” listed in the ingredients, know that this means a synthetic mixture of different chemicals.

No Carcinogens
Carcinogens are found in everyday products and since there are no laws governing what goes in skin care products, are things such as coal tar, parabens, triclosan, formaldehyde, and contaminated talc to name a few. The most common found in body washes, toothpaste, and antibacterial soaps is triclosan; an additive that is used to kill bacteria and has been shown to interfere with the body’s thyroid hormone metabolism and is a potential endocrine disruptor. Children exposed to triclosan have an increased risk of developing allergies, asthma, and eczema.

No Hormone Disrupting Neurotoxins (also known as endocrine disruptors)
Ingredients such as bisphenol A (BPA), Phthalates, Tricolsan to name a few are what are typically found in personal care products today. Phthalates are what is known as the “everywhere” chemical. This is what “binds or carries” the fragrances. Phthalates are believed to be endocrine disruptors that can alter the hormonal balance and potentially cause reproductive, developmental, and other health issues. Studies have shown that phthalates can increase allergy reactions, male genital deformities, premature puberty, eczema, asthma, and lowered IQ and ADHD.(1)

Sunflower Oil

This oil is a serious hydrator and packs a bunch of additional benefits. Since sunflower oil is non-comedogenic, it won’t clog pores and it won’t irritate most people. This can be used on all skin types including acne-prone skin. This carrier oil soothes the skin, hydrates, and strengthens the skin barrier. This oil comes from the flower that is found in the Southwest United States and contains high levels of linoleic acid, which is a fatty acid that our skin produces naturally. Sunflower oil is also thought to have anti-inflammatory properties that calm the skin.

Some additional benefits of this super-powered ingredient are:
• Strengthens the skin barrier as it contains omega-6 and omega-9, both have been shown to contribute to tissue and cell strength
• Delivers antioxidants and vitamins to the skin such as Vitamin E
• Soothes irritating skin
• Won’t clog your pores

Caster Oil

This is the superstar of all oils in the clean beauty industry. It is rich in antioxidants, proteins, vitamin E, and unsaturated fats. It also absorbs easily and repeals water, which is very effective when locking in moisture. Castor oil is made from the bean of the Ricinus communis plant and is a thick warm, yellow consistency.

The overall benefits of caster oil include:
• Antibacterial properties to help fight bacteria that lead to acne
• Moisturizes the skin
• Promotes overall skin health

Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)

This fantastic oil has natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties not to mention it is great on the face and body. Super hydrating, full of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This oil acts like our own sebum. Jojoba oil also has high amounts of iodine, which fights bacterial growth. And given our pits have very thin skin, which is prone to dryness and bacteria, this was a no-brainer ingredient that we had to have in our products.

The overall benefits of Jojoba Oil include:
• Deeply Hydrating
• Moisturizes
• Nutrients for the skin - full of vitamins E and B
• Anti-Microbial -- Naturally deters microbes which helps prevent the growth of bacteria on the skin
• Gentle on all skin types - especially skin types that are sensitive

Virgin Coconut Oil (​​Cocos Nucifera)

This magical elixir is made from the white fleshy part of the coconut. It is refined down to an oil, which is solid at room temperature but when heated up will turn back to a liquid form. The benefits of coconut oil are that it hydrates the skin. It is made up of fatty acids that help reduce dryness and allow your skin to retain moisture. It helps protect the skin giving your skin that protective barrier against environmental pollutants. Coconut oil also improves the texture of your skin over time. It absorbs easily into the skin and soothes irritated skin.

The overall benefits of coconut oil include:
• Locking in hydration - coconut oil helps your skin’s protective barrier layer which traps moisture in the skin
• Provides antioxidants
• Absorbs easily

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)

Our plant-based deodorant is made with Shea Butter. Shea Butter is made from the nuts of a shea tree and is native to West Africa. It has a high concentration of fatty acids and vitamins. Shea is safe for all skin types and doesn’t contain chemical irritants known to dry out the skin. It doesn't clog pores. There are many reasons why we used Shea Butter; Its anti-inflammatory properties trigger cells to slow their production. This has high levels of vitamins A & E, which promote healthy skin. Shea tree products are widely known for their anti-fungal properties.

The overall benefits of Shea Butter include:
• Boosts skins moisture
• Anti-inflammatory properties soothe skin issues
• Helps fight breakouts and blemishes
• Softens dry skin

Arrowroot (Maranta Arundinacea)

Did you know that arrowroot is packed full of materials and vitamins such as zinc, iron, potassium, and vitamin B6? This makes this a perfect ingredient to provide relief from skin irritations such as rashes, acne, and skin sores. We used this as a substitute for talc and cornstarch in our products. It is similar to cornstarch, but it is finer and less irritating to the skin.

The overall benefits of Arrowroot include:
• Contains NO Gluten
• Packed with Vitamen-B
• The new Baby Powder Alterative -- contains no talc!

Frankincense (Boswellia Carterii)

Frankincense is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent that has antimicrobial effects. It has the ability to eliminate cold and flu germs from the home and the body naturally. Frankincense oil induces feelings of peace, relaxation, and satisfaction. This oil is known as the “king of essential oils” and is known as the “liquid gold” for your skin.

The overall benefits of Frankinscense includes:
• Anti-inflammatory properties calm affected areas
• Natural astringent - Protects the skin cells
• Known to reduce blemishes
• Aromatherapy properties - lower stress levels, calm anxiety

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is widely believed to decrease symptoms of stress but the most effective and well-known benefits of eucalyptus oil are its antibacterial, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also sought after as a natural remedy to work well for nearly all skin types (oily or dry) but as always, one should test it on a small patch of skin before applying it all over in the event of sensitivities.

Overall benefits of Eucalyptus oil include:
• Antibacterial - helps cleanse the epidermis of impurities that contribute to breakouts.
• Natural bug deterrent

Your order will be processed and shipped the same business day, for orders placed by 3pm CST, and normally takes 5-7 days to arrive. You will receive an email confirmation with tracking information when your order is processed and shipped, so you can monitor your order status.

Can girls use this product?

Yes! Girls can use any of these products. They are safe for everyone. The scent is a universal scent of frankinscense and bergamot with a hint of eucalptus. Think refreshing and bright. Won't overwhelm or clash with your other scents you may wear.
