Thanks so much for watching my videos & supporting my channel! xx - Jak na to + styl
I am a survivor of breast cancer and this all makes sense to me. I know what we use and eat has an impact. Thank you for this video!
Can you do an updated version of this video? Like including new discoveries you’ve found recently?
I’m trying to go nontoxic in 2020 but I’m overwhelmed and drowning in all the options I have on the market.
My skin has NEVER looked better after ditching all of the artificially fragranced products. Fragrance is the number one irritant for me and my skin feels and looks amazing after switching to non toxic face washes and incorporating essential oils into my routine! 💜
Vinegar and baking soda are my go to non toxic household cleaning products they are the best!!
I am so sad that I had never come across your channel before!! I LOVE your videos!! Thank you for making these, they are so helpful! I was mind blown by some of the products you talked about because I use them as well!
What a great and informative video Becca! I’m currently on a journey into having a natural and organic life, with clean food, intuitive eating and also with products. This was very helpful and also unbelievable at how many products we assume are good are actually filled with nasty harsh chemicals! Thankyou for sharing this! Xx
Im so excited to look up so many of these! This video is awesome and love the apps for checking toxins!
This video was life changing for me!!! I was watching a video by a naturopathic fertility specialist with a degree in toxicology. She introduced the idea to me that toxins could be messing with my hormones and it got me wondering. Your videos have made me realize what is toxic and why and that basically everything I use has toxins in it!! I’ll slowly be replacing it all. I ditched my candles and nail polish and other junk today. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for your great videos, Becca! I really like them and appreciate the products you recommend! Can you please do a video on non-toxic nail polish?
LOVED this video! Thanks for sharing! I ditched tons of chemical laden products due to chronic migraines & it has made a huge difference. I LOVE Young Living products as well!
Thank you for this video!! I want to try going more non toxic. My hormones are so unbalanced and I live a healthy and active lifestyle but I know products and environment are not helping! Although I can’t control everything, I want to do my part and be more balanced.. especially when time for kids come along! Loved this so much!
This was SO informative!! Today I ordered a few things from young living. Starting with the cleaner and laundry detergent and a few skincare products. I also use Dime Beauty which has an EWG score of 1 to 2 and I swear my skin has been SO much better since switching to more non toxic products. I am excited to start switching all my products over to less toxic products.
The thieves toothpaste is what hooked me to YL! Seriously magic. I signed up with the Thieves kit and the cleaner is bomb. I prefer Schmidt’s deodorant, Ever Skin skincare & makeup, and I make hand and body soaps with Castile soap, almond oil, and EOs. Life has changed since switching to nontoxic products for the better!
Thank you thank you thank you for creating this! I just started my ditch and switch process to combat some hormone issues I've been experiencing and this is so helpful. I have already purchased some of your recommendations. I am also focused on less expensive options so if you can put out a list of your favorite cheaper non-toxic options I would be all over it.
Dove Unscented Sensitive Skin Beauty Bars only rate a 2 on EWG! They’re an easy and accessible option for people trying to make more non-toxic choices. There are definitely more natural products out there, but if you’re already using Dove, it’s an easy and affordable change.
For facial sunscreen, I love the tinted facial sunscreen from Beauty by Earth. You can also get it from Amazon. It doesn’t feel greasy at all and blends really nicely into the skin. I like to use that for the initial application before leaving my house and then touch up throughout the day with Brush on Block. It’s a mineral brush on sunscreen that’s amazing. It lasts a really long time too.
Dove is tested on animals, which would be a big deterrent for many people, including myself. It's awesome that it's only a 2 on EWG, but not a good option if cruelty free matters to you. Not trying to be pushy because I hate when people comment on my stuff and make me feel bad; just wanted to share information you may not have known! :)
Aleka Smith Yes, excellent point! I definitely think it’s more of an easy step in the right direction for people new to switching to non-toxic products, as it can be overwhelming for people to completely overhaul at first, especially when there are other things to consider like going cruelty free as well. :) Definitely better options out there.
They are actually not a non toxic product.
I adore Becca and all her videos but every time she mentions a Young Living product I groan so loudly because they’re SO expensive and I just flat out cannot afford them. I hate having to purchase anything that comes from MLM because it’s so inconvenient especially if you need something quickly. I know you get what you pay for when it comes to clean products but I feel like Young Living can’t possibly be the ONE AND ONLY brand that is safe for us to use.
Mallorey Rogers I agree! I can’t afford Y.L. And would of loved if she would of been real and suggestive stuff to us that can’t afford it.
Andria Lowery it’s so much more affordable than people realize!!! I thought i couldn’t afford it as a college student, but there’s so many tips and tricks 😊
You should try some of the non MLM brands like Edens Garden, Rocky Mountain Oils, or Plant Therapy. They are great quality and less expensive too 👍🏻
Marie Sparkle that’s true, but definitely be careful and research the brand you choose heavily beforehand😊 many places don’t own their farms and distilleries and label their oils 100% pure but they have chemical fillers (they don’t have to disclose this). I threw out a lot of my old brands from amazon when i realized there was no way to track where they came from!
Jennifer Rivera but don’t you have to buy things in order to rack up points? I just hate the MLM method it feels like too much work to just order some oils.
Of course. A 30 minute Young Living ad. Not affordable for most people! Just make your own natural cleaners from Pinterest recipes, use Dr. Bronners soap and stop piling on the nasty fragrances from BBW and you’ll be good! 👍🏼
bluelove33 AMEN!!! I make my own cleaner with vinegar and tea tree oil! I use Dr. Bronner’s soap too!
tea tree is not safe for animals! use dilluted vinegar and peroxide! works for counters mopping cleaning etc
Lydia
You’re producing peracetic acid. Is that your intent?
bluelove33 lol yep
Thieves Household cleaner costs about $ 1 per 16-30 oz after properly diluted so it is literally less expensive than dollar store cleaners and won't make your house smell like pickles
I’d love to see another one of these !!
Take a look at what your clothes are made out of! I just recently made the switch to all natural fibers. My skin is so happy and wayyy less itchy. I got rid of Acrylic (which is under going reasearch for a link with cancer) polyester, rayon and a few other sysnthetic fabrics. It was a huge change to my wardrobe but my health is more important to me than clothes. Plus, I now tend to only were cashmere or organic cotton. Both are super soft and comfy so not complaining here!
I have an autoimmune illness so this is SO helpful! Thank you!
Love this video! Very informative & helpful.🙌🏻
Love this video! Im in the process of slowly ridding my life of all the toxic chemicals too! Tons of good suggestions! Ive been using rosehip seed oil (with lavendar and frankinesence) for months now and my skin has never looked better! 🙌
Just got my thieves and i LOVE it🙌😀💗
Ohmygosh I'm stoked about that natural deoderant! I had the exact same rash and it was awful. I switched back to what I was using before until I found something that worked. Excited to try it!
I love this cause I like to be as non toxic and and chemical free as possible!!! So thanks for these tips!!!
I’d love a video on what you’ll use for your baby as far as diapers, wipes, and lotions and things go!
Check out the Young Living Seedlings line for Toxin Free baby care products
I found this video to be very informative! thank you.
Thank you Becca! I just signed up yesterday and I'm soooooo ready to start swapping out my toxic products for healthy alternatives! I just read the book "A Mind of Your Own" and I told myself I HAVE to make some changes. I think it's a great read for all women....the cover tends to lead people to believe it's just about depression and it's actually more about all the ways we are hurting our bodies/minds and our GUT by our day to day products and over the counter medicines and prescription medicine. Let me know if you're read or get a chance to read it. I'm excited to start learning more about this oily life :)
Hi Becca, thanks for such a great informational video! Could you please link the bottles you use to store your perfume? I love they are roller bottles but I cannot find something so charming! Thanks
Best video ive watched this yr.. thank u so much for sharing
Loved this 😍😍🙏🏽 can you link the glass spray bottle? 💗
Awesome video! 💜💛💚 I am loving my YL hair oil!
What makes a product toxic, and what are the reasons that some ingredients are worse than others?
Download think dirty!
It’s the chemicals/ingredients in these things that are unhealthy to breathe in or let be anywhere near your skin. Most of young livings stuff is plant derived 😊
Shoot, you don’t even need young living just use vinegar and baking soda to clean with its much better for you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Do you know if any of these brands you use offer plastic free or refillable products like bars or bottles you can ship back to them for refills? I love the idea of going natural but it seems like a lot of these products are liquids packaged in plastic bottles and plastic just doesn't work for our newly eco-friendly household.
Hi. Your skin is beautiful. I use tretinoin cream. Is it bad for my skin? And does it have lots of chemicals in it? Thank you for all this information.😊
Hi Becca, thanks für this Video ❤ i am just wondering which Products you use for washing your laundry.
Greetings from Germany 🌸
This was SUPER helpful 🎈
What do you think about Jason Naturals and Avalon Organics? Have you tried anything from these brands?
What about hair spray? I see you curl your hair a lot and was wondering if you had a good non-toxic hairspray? love your videos!!
Do you have an all natural lip balm you could recommend? Thanks! Xx
Can you share where you found information about Method cleaners not being a natural cleaner? It literally says non-toxic and plant based on the label.
there's no regulation as to what a company can and cannot put on a label. that's why it says that. There are sulfates and fragrances in almost all of the method cleaners. VERY far from non toxic.
As a man, I also make my own shaving cream using soft soap mixed with water and essential oils, including myrrh oil. Yes, I do make my own aftershave/cologne.
I'm with you on the store bought deodorants and antiperspirants, as my underarms also break out from baking soda. I have been pretty successful with one type of Tom's deodorant, but also make my own. Also, my chiropractor turned me on to using a Salt Stone every few days. I have found that the Salt Stone also helps relieve itching caused by mild eczema.
I love your videos! I wanna ask you a pretty personalized question if i am a competitive cyclist can i reach my optimal racing weight while eating intuitively or i should reach a specific body fat percentage by calorie and macro counting?
What sources do you use to determine what ingredients are harmful? Where is the research that links this ingredients to cancer, etc?
Last week there was a NY Times article about this, scary stuff! But other than that, it's all over the news, I feel like our society is getting smart and is standing up to these companies. Thank god for that.
Check out ewg! Great resource
I wish non-toxic, organic, crunchy products would actually work 😒 I tried tons of natural deodorants and would stink so much I was so self conscious. Natural laundry detergents are a joke on any type of stain. I tried organic essential oil DIY skin care for months and my acne prone oily face showed zero improvement. And everything I've tried is so darn expensive. I'm done.
love the vid! what kind of dish soap do you use?
Really wish that all of these videos weren't so focused around essential oils. There's so much conflicting information, so I don't rely on them for anything anymore.
Yes but young living is the most trust worthy out of all the essential oils.
@@MK79797 young living is a mlm lmaooo
@@qquanzaa so just because it's mlm, you ignore the goodies/benefits of the products? Just because mlm, you jumped into conclusions that they are bad as a whole?
I'd rather be in the mlm companies but selling products with a heart. Thinking about the consumers' health and money. Unlike the famous big companies who are selling products but killing their consumers slowly.
I thank God for 8 years of my wellness journey, He led me to Young Living.
They are not pricey if you experience the benefits and effectiveness. Since YL is the only 100% Pure therapeutic grade EOs from Seed to Seal. Your health ofcourse is worth to invest for.
We are buying high ends stuff for our external bodies without questioning the companies, yet when it comes to health we become stingy and close minded.
✌😊❤
Daphne mlms can ruin people's lives when they collapse. they can cause those on the bottom of the chain to lose everything while those at the top benefit. pyramid schemes prey on the desperate and are sick. no thanks
More products are coming out with less or no essential oils for those with specific sensitivities. Votary skincare is one and I believe CV Skin labs also uses less or no essential oils. There are others but those two come to mind. FYI.
What laundry soap do you use? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing!!!!❤
Great information, thanks!
How does the rosehip & glycerin spray work? I read that glycerin actually dries your skin from the inside out...?
Hi Becca. I have just started going "down the rabbit hole" of getting rid of toxins in my household. Can you recommend hair styling tools like a flat iron that doesn't have formaldehyde or convert to it in the air?
Love this video!
Where do you get your dispensers? They are so pretty
You should try Dr. Tung’s smart floss, its a great all natural floss that gets rave reviews, I love it and am very picky about floss. Also, if you haven’t heard of it yet, I think you would be really interested in learning about the benefits of tongue scraping. I’ve become addicted to it and now my mouth doesn’t feel clean until I do it.
What laundry and dish products have you been using? i cant seem to find any that dont cost a small fortune. thanks!!
Thank you so much !!
Have you trued Cocoon Apothecary, Pure Anada, Green Beaver or Attitude products?
Becca what about laundry/dishwaher, hand soap and air freshers and candles ? I'd love advice on those too :)
Love my thieves! I’m trying to get rid of as much as i can with toxic products. Once i get my hands on blue tansy i am so making the serum lol
Do you use a dry shampoo? & do you wash your hair everyday?! Thanks- M
I use non toxic baby powder as dry shampoo! It works wonders...and I tend to have oily hair
I've tried more natural deodorants than I can list. The baking soda didn't work for me either, and the others seemed ineffective - even if I didn't stink, I was still sweating like crazy. Does the deodorant you mention, have some antiperspirant properties?
Do you have a video about non toxic baby products... shampoo conditioner and lotion ?
Hi Becca! Quick question - can you put essential oils directly on your skin, or do you have to dilute them? If so, what do you use to dilute them and how do you do it? Thanks!
ALWAYS dilute oil if you plan to put on your skin! YL might not promote that, but it's best to do some research and dilute!
I disagee. There are some essential oils that are PERFECTLY save for direct use.
Like Lavender, Geranium and Frankinscense. Very gentle on the skin. I put them topically on my face or cuts and scrapes.
My best advice to you, would be to test on yourself. Some have more sensitive skin than others. Do what works for YOU.
Even Dr. Axe says it is okay. He specializes in Ancient medicine. It's not JUST YoungLiving who sees this as okay.
I also really love Native’s deodorant :)
wow i didn't even know young living at skincare or anything besdies essential oils..definatly going to have to try them out..thank you for this informative video :)
What kind of hand soap do you use Becca?
Can you/have you made a video about how to make perfume rollers out of essential oils??
What natural product do you use to highlight your hair?
Thanks so much for this! I wish I could get all the Young Living products you were talking about in Canada... for some reason I can't find the Sandalwood Night Cream, Mirah Hair Oil, and Mirah Face Oil. Hopefully they will be available in Canada soon! (If I'm wrong, can someone let me know where on the Canadian site they are listed?) 💜
Do you know what I can do with my empty foundation glass bottles? I want to recycle ♻️ it somewhere but I’m not sure 🤔 where. Is there any makeup companies that recycle glass makeup bottles? My apartment complex does not take recycling so not sure where to send the empty bottles. The makeup is Shiseido.
The CeraVe light blue body lotion is only a 1 on EWG. I'm confused why it was toxic in your research. Did they reformulate it?
Hey Becca, so glad you put this video together. I love that you inform yourself on everything before you share info on your channel. It’s kinda frustrating to read negative comments on here when you’re just sharing YOUR journey and what works for you. It’s not like your telling others “you have to do what I’m doing!!!”. Anyway, we are at the very beginning of our ditch and switch journey and will be doing it the way you did and replacing things as they run out! You’re so positive and real and I love that! Thanks for sharing this video!
Stay you 😘
What about heat protector for when you curl your hair using a curling iron?
What does Thieves have that actually kill bacteria on countertops though? It seems to have alot of essential oils.
What do you use to dye your hair?
I got the same rashes from baking soda deodorant! I finally started using a salt crystal and it’s worked for me. Sometimes I wish it would work better with sweat but I’ll take it over the armpit rashes!!! Thanks for the tip!
Sam meowmeowtweet.com has an amazing baking soda free deodorant! I’ve used it for years!
I’ve always broken out from deodorants with baking soda too and also use a crystal deodorant. I buy the liquid version because I’ve had more success with it than the solid version. It’s an adjustment when you stop using antiperspirants, but we’re supposed to sweat. I’m glad I stopped clogging up my pits years ago, haha.
Live well, Jess I have used Meow meow tweet but I love the liquid salt deodorant best. I agree, it’s much easier than the crystal
I'm definitely going to try out that deodorant!!! I tried Native's and it's kind of the worst.
I kind of did the same thing you are doing but I switched to all cruelty free products. If it needs tested on an animal before it’s safe for me to use, why am I putting it on my skin? Wonder what the products I use would rate. A lot of them are all natural so I think that they would be good but you never know.
I know this video is old. But she said that EWG rated cerave hydrating cleanser as a 10. This is what I use. I just looked it up and its only rated as a 2. So im confused.
Does that deodorant also help with sweat? Or just scent?
How do you feel about drunk elephant products??
Does the thieves cleaner leave streaks on glass/mirrors or quartz counter tops. Does it work on stainless steal too? Does it get rid of harsh stains on grout for instance like Clorox?
Yes it works on ALL of that here is a link to purchase. You can either add to cart or become a member and save 24% www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/thieves-household-cleaner
What oils do you use for perfume? I can’t really imagine wearing any of my oils. I don’t really think any of them smell good tbh. Not good enough to wear at least. Maybe I need to order some different ones to try.
I love Valor or Scared Mountain
for perfume!
Brittany Killion Carter I’ve never smelled sacred mountain but I have valor. It’s ok, but it definitely doesn’t compare to an actual perfume. Plus it just doesn’t give me the same kind of pampering luxurious feel that spraying on a high quality perfume does. Idk I’m really trying with the natural stuff and making my own hand soaps and face wash and all that but I have to admit I really miss my old products. I miss shopping for new products. Making them was fun at first but I’m bored now! I miss going to Sephora and buying a nice face wash and serum and having the whole experience and the pretty packaging and everything. It’s not like making them is really any cheaper. YL oils are crazy expensive. Sorry to sound so negative I’m just not enjoying this natural stuff anymore! Maybe I should just buy some natural plant based beauty products instead of making my own.
@@ccap3211 check out the new Bloom products just introduced and the ART products from Young Living - no need to make them just an option for the DIYers
Girl I am SHOOK! I literally use all of the things you mention that you ditched; Dove, Cetaphil, etc. I am downloading the EWG app and starting my Ditch! You’ll have to let us know what products you plan to use for baby. I have a 10 mo old little girl and am a big fan of the Earth Mama brand so I really hope it rates well on that app...
Such a great video!! Can’t wait to share this with all of my girlfriends!
Innersense is not on the EWGs app. None of their products are. How did you find that they are a safe alternative?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Young Living! My whole family uses their products, including my kids. My mom introduced me to the oils and I’ve expanded to their other products including their makeup. So scary to know that literally everything we use daily has chemicals in them. This was such an informative and helpful video. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I'm surprised you're so healthy having used toxic chemicals your whole life! Thank goodness you switched over to all natural products. As for the rest of us, please say a prayer! 😇
Do you know how the Thieves toothpaste works for sensitive teeth?
A 30 minute Becca video!
Desert essence makes really good clean oral health products as well. For those who can’t afford young living
Do you still practice in an allopathic hospital setting?
Aura cacia is rated pretty well on EWG- they’re also a pure essential oil and you can easily find those af Marshall’s.
I think mentioning how these products with harsh chemicals (and maybe not-too-harsh chemicals) affects our waters would help too. Everything from our detergents and toilet cleaners and counter products all end up in the sea- and majority of these products are not sustainable :(
While health is majority of the reason I’m trying to make the switch, the environment is another because it will cycle back one day and affect our health.
Rachael Mays It's funny you mention that brand. Because they aren't any cheaper than Young living. Especially if you buy the organic type. (Which is important in EOS, because EOs will have a concentrated level of pesticides if not organic).
I buy and use both brands. But in terms of cost, they're MAYBE 50 cents cheaper than Young Living. A bottle of lavender still costs me 30$ from either brand.
But at least I get a discount with youngliving.
Does anyone know if tan-luxe the water is toxic?
Young living also has deodorants. I recommend!!!
Do you have travel size face wash?
What have you found to make the switch for your laundry detergent?
E mosey I use Ecos or Seventh generation. Really good cruelty free vegan non toxic brands
Sadly those brands are "greenwashers". They make consumers think they are safe but They are not 100% non toxic. They are better than conventional products but they are not non toxic.
Checkout www.mygreenfills.com for clean laundry products.
E mosey I love BioKleen laundry detergent! It’s priced well on Amazon and lasts forever.
Molly's Suds!!!!
THE cleanest laundry detergent I've found, next to making my own. It has like 8 ingredients, most of which are baking soda, and eos.
Way cleaner than Seventh Generation, or Method (both brands I've used in the passed).
Love it. Haven't used anything else since I've discovered it.
What's the lotion called
Can you provide the link to your blog?
