TSS is not caused by the “chemicals” in the tampons. It is caused by bacteria breeding in the tampon if left for extended period of time. Also, not because something has “chemicals” in it, it is toxic or harmful.
You’re absolutely right!
Could we STOP using the word “toxins” without being able to give a clinical definition? This is such a millennial buzz word.
She has so much bad info in this video.
Also, my understanding is that the super high absorbency tampons are especially prone to creating an environment for TSS. Probably because, as you say, people leave them in too long.
@@ShellTay32 I used super high absorbency tampons because of really heavy periods and had NO issues with TSS. However, I didn't leave them in for long timeframes...the longest was overnight while sleeping. Otherwise I was changing them about every 1-2 hours.
Question: How do the period panties compare in absorbency to tampons, i.e. regular, super, super plus, ultra?
I don't understand why you would recommend charcoal deodorant? Aluminum is horrible for you, but charcoal, used consistently, has side effects. No one should be placing charcoal on their skin everyday. Your just replacing one bad thing with another.
I think it is best to avoid these types of videos, even if intentions are good. You run the risk of misleading and misinforming your audience. It could prove dangerous in the long run as you have no medical or scientific background.
Not to mention that essential oils can cause sensitivity and are likely worse than most artificial fragrances. Sometimes the alternative is worse than the original. (Essential oils, aluminum, talc, and charcoal are all natural ingredients - what makes ingredients more or less safe has nothing to do with whether they are natural or not.)
Charcoal is a horrible product - can diminish the absorption medications if taken orally. If, like me, you take life preserving medication every day taking charcoal tablets would be a recipe for disaster.
She’s making a living off of recommending these products. Do your own research and do not take the advice of a utube influencer!!
This is why I watch @drdray she breaks it all down for you.
The charcoal is likely to make your skin very dry. It would absorb all oils, good and bad. It's also not completely off the table for being carcinogenic. I'm seeing things like "unlikely to cause cancer" Etc. Being obsessed with "chemicals" could cause you to go insane with worry and fear.
I wish you understood greenwashing a bit better. Just because something is ‘natural’ doesn’t make it safe and just because something is a ‘chemical’ doesn’t make it unsafe (technically everything is a chemical). Of course do what works for you, but maybe try to be less of an alarmist. Sincerely, a scientist.
Exactly!
Yes!
Yes! Arsenic is “natural” and deadly. The list of natural things that are deadly is LONG!!!
Yes, it is so funny that people think because it is "natural" it is healthy.
Thank you, so much false information in this video.
Just a PSA as a hairstylist: Yes henna is a "natural" alternative to color. However it is very permanent and once in the hair, you cannot change colors or remove it. The metals in henna do not mix with lightener(bleach). If you want to try to get highlights or strip the color out, please please please tell your hairstylist you use henna before the service starts. A good stylist would ask your history so if they don't you probably don't want them doing your hair anyways but you must share. Personally I would not do any lightener service on hair that has henna as the risk of extreme damage is not worth it. Our salon made it a policy after awhile that we would not lighten(bleach) hair if there was a history of henna. Literally had a girls foils start smoking from the mix of lightener and henna and had to stop the service. Also, it is not natural to alter your hair color so honestly if you do want to color your hair, I suggest going with really good quality products. Otherwise leave your hair natural, because that actually is the most natural thing to do.
I think this might be my first ever comment on CZcams as I never find it necessary to comment on videos because I feel like this is a platform that the creators should be able to express their opinions etc and that there’s always going to be someone out there that has a differing opinion. Saying that, I felt so compelled to comment on the henna that Shea is recommending but you’ve done that already and put it absolutely perfect. I’m a hair stylist in CA and I’ve been doing hair for almost 15 years. I would NEVER work on a client that’s previously used henna on their hair. I wish that a disclaimer had been put in this video that if you choose to go the henna route, please understand the consequences in that many seasoned stylists won’t touch your hair because of the horrific chemical interactions. Thank you for your detailed response and spreading the word. And please, ladies, do your research before applying any at home color on your hair. We are licensed professionals for a reason and it may look easy to just buy a box of something and throw it on your hair but I promise, it really isn’t. There are consequences and if you make a mistake with henna, we simply cannot help you.
I just want to make a point, that henna DOES NOT contain metals naturally. That is not true. Pure henna is just a powdered leaf, 100% natural,but yes, it is permanent. But it does not contain metals. Some brands sell henna with added metals in them, to enhance the colour, so everyone should read the ingredient list and learn about before buying and using. I am dying my hair with henna for years now and my sister (hair dresser) is making highlights into my hair once a year, with no issues, because I use a trusted henna brand with no risks of metal in it.
So I just wanted to point this out :) That the issues you faced or any other person faces came from that.
Hope this will help better to understand this.
But ofc, I tottaly understand the policy you needed to put into your salon, because people can be restless and not making proper research before using henna.
when I was younger and in my hippie days I used Henna to color my hair. That was all I ever used and I loved it. Such soft, shinny hair. Loved it but yes it had to grow out. I never tried to have it removed by bleaching or anything. I think it was real henna, just a powder that smelled strange and was thick and messy to use, but wow what great hair I had. This was in the 70-early 80s.
As a cancer nurse, I would like to point out that the breast tissue drains to the lymph glands under the arm not the other way round. Thus deodorant ingredients do not go the other way. However if you are more comfortable using alternatives to traditional that is your choice.
Until we figure out what causes cancer, cutting out chemicals makes sense.
You absorb systemically ANYTHING you put on your skin. If you wouldn’t eat it, it shouldn’t go on your skin.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@Carol Celeste l am also in recovery from stage3 cancer. l never found any deodorant that worked. l am happy 2 say that native deodorant works 100 percent. my favorite scent is coconut and vanilla.
My boss had breast cancer and her oncologist told her to stop using conventional deodorant and when she told me that in 2016 I stopped using it as well.
Some people can’t use mineral sunscreen so it’s very important to emphasize to just USE any sunscreen that your skin can handle.
Also just because something is “chemical” it’s not necessarily bad. You’re very wrong about petroleum jelly for instance. Derivatives of some chemicals are not bad at all.
After all, water is a chemical 😂
I agree. Petroleum jelly is often recommended by dermatologists.
@@RebeccaMorrisCrayCatLady exactly! 🤣🤣🤣
@@RebeccaMorrisCrayCatLady tap water is so toxic so?
@@racheli2598 that depends where you live. In my country we even clean our streets with drinkable water. So our tap water is perfectly fine and healthy and everyone drinks is 🤷🏼♀️ except Americans when they come and visit and they’re the only one buying bottled water 😂 guess your comment explains why. You think if your tap water is bad it’s bad everywhere but I can assure you that’s not true
Just a side note to the using coconut oil as a moisturiser in place of body lotion, yes it is amazing for the skin and healthier but, make sure you apply this at night! If you put this on in the morning before you go out especially when it is hot you are essentially basting yourself and it will intensify the sun on your skin.
Really? Because I heard it has natural sunscreen properties. I going to have to look into this some more.
@@catherinebrooks7180 I heard the same and tried it. I roasted myself and ended up with sun poisoning! I'm fair skinned so I burn easily but, I was a rotisserie chicken afterwards. Be safe!
Coconut oil can cause eczema and dermatitis. I tried it on my scalp for hot oil treatments as recommended by a CZcamsrs and got really bad eczema on my forehead, scalp, ears, and neck. Once i stopped use most of my systems resolved except my scalp which my dermatologist said coconut oil was the cause.
@@catherinebrooks7180 I've not heard this myself but that isn't to say it isn't true! It's just that coconut oil is used for cooking and putting it on your skin before going out in direct sunlight can cause pretty nasty sunburn. Coconut oil based tanning lotions were a thing when I was a kid but being a fair skinned red head I have always been a factor 50 person.
Precisely!! Your skin will feel like it’s cooking under the sun!
Unfortunately, "a study" can prove almost any theory someone wants, depending on the controls, the exaggeration, in vivo vs. in vitro, etc. I still put my trust in the doctors who explain WHY some of these fear-mongering studies don't actually prove to be harmful to the human body. But it's still something interesting for us to talk about. Nothing wrong with questioning these things either, but let's not tell people it's outright bad especially when it isn't our field of study because of just 1 study that was funded by a specific company to meet their agenda... Yes, this happens all the time. Anyways, always a joy watching your content Shea! Glad you state these are your opinions as you are entitled to them ❤❤
This was the number 1 thing I learned in college. One professor had us do experiments and showed us how to get the results we wanted in the end. And we were all assigned different conclusions from the exact same experiment. Studies have to have been replicated multiple times and peer reviewed. If they aren’t extensively peer reviewed, it’s just nonsense.
@@wendio5437 That’s so fascinating! And that’s a good lesson to teach, regardless of your field. Thanks for sharing that. I enjoy that kind of literature in my free time and sometimes I wish I had this interest sooner so I could’ve gone to med school!
It's fairly easy to fact check an article, too. I had someone throw a "source" at me and it took me less than one minute to find out it was on a website run be people who are extremely far to one side in the political spectrum. Left or right it doesn't matter. Political people ABOVE ALMOST ALL OTHERS are NOTORIOUS for using fear mongering and skewing results. When I told them who was behind the website they stopped talking. Lol!! I hate politics! I want facts. Is the article saying eggs have been proven to be the best thing ever to eat and the study was paid for by the Untied Egg Farmers Association? Then you can't trust it. Just look at who is doing the study or writing the article. Who's website is it? How old is it? I was looking up info about inflation and found an article from 2013. Pffft. It's not going to be accurate for today. If the article sites a source, check out the source. It's crazy how quickly these "studies" fall apart once you do a simple fact check. I love conspiracy theories and cryptids and I'm constantly debunking stuff I read. My sister falls for so much misinformation and I'm always right on her sources and why they can't be trusted. She is always freaking out and afraid of everything. No thanks. I'll panic when actual extra terrestrials land or sasquatch starts raiding towns. 🤣
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - sincerely the medical community lol
@@docp4449 Aww. As someone who isn't part of the medical community whatsoever but likes to learn, you have no idea how much of a compliment that is for me!! 😇😇
Hey Shea. I’ve been a watcher since almost the beginning. I appreciate your take but I wanted to just share that, as someone who was diagnosed with skin cancer for the first time at 24 (I’m a pale ginger so it’s not that uncommon), I just wanted to say please use sunscreen, ANY sunscreen. I guarantee you that cancer is worse than any of those sunscreens are.
I'm so sorry about your skin cancer...however, I definitely wasn't saying to NOT use sunscreen!! I was just offering better options for people :)
@@SheaWhitney Absolutely! You’re great and I didn’t mean it in that way. I just wanted to throw that out there to anyone who might need to see that. ☺️
Hi Shea you might want to recheck the info on how mineral sunscreens work. I used to believe that as well but there has been alot of data that shows that mineral sunscreens only reflect about 4 to 5% of UV. Labmuffinbeautyscience has excellent breakdowns on this.
I’m so sorry you have skin cancer! I will be praying for you! Please research sunscreens and unfortunately you’ll see that the ingredients are the cancer causer not the sun. Never have we seen skin cancer until 1. Sunscreens popped on the scene & 2. Seed oils became FDA approved for food :( lot more to this ❤️
@@realwomanclay902 Sunscreen did not cause me to have skin cancer. It was caused by genetic predisposition and by the sun. I agree that sunscreen has chemicals that are not good for us but do not say things that are not factual.
I understand wanting to stay away from carcinogens, but people need to stop using the word "chemical" as a synonym for "bad" or "toxic". As a medical student, you hear a lot of people spreading misinformation thinking they know better than others with a background in scientific fields and it's just plain fear mongering. Yes, being aware of what you are putting in or on your body is important, but make sure to ask someone with a background in medicine or a healthcare provider before believing everything you hear from a beauty or lifestyle influencer online.
Yeah this is painful. And her platform is large
Agree
Medical professionals also use latest evidence available from ongoing researches to base their suggestions. Once you start practicing you will know this 😀
I'm cringing watching this video. I'm a fan of Shea but this... just no.
@@545bb I understand. It’s just her choice of words and lack of evidence that upset me. If you are going to make bold claims in the hopes of educating others, you should have your resources available for others to fact check or review on their own! :)
Shea, your videos are great, but I have to agree with the majority of comments. There is a lot of misinformation in this video. Doctors, dermatologists, and other experts in their fields are working hard to combat this misinformation and relay quality peer reviewed research performed by experts who do not have a stake in the outcome.
Hey Shea, I love your videos but some of the things you state in this video are factually incorrect. As a microbiologist, tampons are not toxic, nor do they have any toxic ingredients. You are partially correct in saying that leaving a tampon in for too long can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), but this is not because of the tampon. Leaving in the same tampon for too long is a breeding ground for the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria release toxins which cause TSS! You just need to change your tampon every 4-8 hours to prevent this. Tampons are perfectly safe, just be hygienic!
Change it every 4-8 hours? Seriously? How can you say that leaving a tampon inside the body for 8 hours is safe? Not even 5-6 hours is ok. I change it every 3-3.5 hours. What a ridiculous statement coming from a microbiologist.
Not all tampons are created equally. It’s like saying diapers don’t have bad chemicals. Some do! As a micropologist have you specifically studied the effect of certain chemicals on your endocrine system?
@@at136 The recommendation is stated by the National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK. Yes, it’s common sense to change the earlier the better. I’m not telling you when you should change though.
I’m confused by the statement that tampons are safe when I learned in chemistry class that most tampons contain an ingredient called rayon that is bad for you, and causes you to bleed more so you buy more tampons. From what I learned, organic tampons don’t contain rayon.
Period underwear seems wild. It’s like wearing the same pad all day long instead of changing it every bathroom break. Yuck.
Exactly I can’t imagine doing it
Agreed!!! I don’t have my period anymore but it was very very heavy!! Always was my brand for yearrrrrsssss!!!! Thank god nothing bad happened. The cup seems disgusting too!! My personal opinion.
How does it now feel like you are sitting in wet underwear. If you are wearing it as a backup I can understand but as your main, 🤮
She is simply not educated in that topic.The underwear is notsubstitute for pads or the cup.It is a fabulous back up method.The menstrual cup is very good.
Vaseline causes cancer?? Omg
Noo
So much misleading information here!!
Hair dyes?? That does not penetrate the hair follicle at all!
I guess you need to study a little bit more in each topic.
You still change period underwear multiple times a day. You don’t wear the same underwear all day long, you change it as often as you would change a pad, so it’s not really that wild.
Shea, we love you. But there are so many misconceptions and lack of information/evidence within this video. Just because something is natural, doesn't make it healthy or better for you. Chemicals aren't bad for you, they're specifically refined and formulated at a lab so they don't harm you. None of the products shown in this video have been proven to cause cancer nor damage any vital organs of the human body. I understand you wanting to try a more "clean" alternative to certain products, but you shouldn't claim something is toxic if you don't know that for sure. You have a big platform and a big audience; both of those things mean you have a huge responsibility when it comes to your content.
I hope you know this comes from a place of love and respect 💖
Natural =/= good. Mercury is a natural element but one shouldn't handle it with bare skin. Venomous spiders produce "natural" neurotoxin, doesn't make them safe.
I'm disappointed in this video.
I have been a follower for years but there is a ton of misinformation out there.
Quite a few refined chemicals are not safe and do harm ....we have to do our research so please don't tell people all lab refined chemicals are specially formulated so they don't harm us.....is the lead based lab "tested" chemical makeup of cheap jewelry, paints etc safe?
@@lisam8044 you're totally right, not ALL chemicals are safe. My point is just because something is a chemical doesn't make it unsafe, there's more that goes into it.
You should do your own research, be a student, not a follower! ;) I think it is AMAZING that she is shearing so much information about these products, because they ARE toxic and absolutely can cause cancer!!
Shea, if you're going to make a claim (e.g. about the aluminum deodorant) please have a disclaimer or legitimate sources to support it. It's borderline harmful for you to keep making these claims without any evidence.
It's worldwide known what harmfull side effects have aluminum deodorants(and aluminum itself !!). You can informe yourself on the web, there are many legitimate sources
How is it dangerous to give alternatives to an already non-essential product?
Hey Shea! Can you post the evidence-based, peer-reviewed research you got all this information from?
This is not a college term paper - she doesn’t owe you sources. If you want to use cleaner beauty products, do your own research. And if you’re truly unbiased in your research, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
😉
No, she definitely cannot (which OP knows, but just thought I’d say explicitly). Love Shea, but much of this information is misleading or incorrect. I know it was done with good intent, but some of the claims are problematic - and there is really no evidence that the alternative is safer (in some cases, alternatives are worse e.g. promoting essential oils under the arms but vilifying fragrance). Sorry Shea - I’m not meaning to criticize you, personally, but so much false information is out there.
She can’t. Because this information is wrong. Not evidence based not published in scientific literature
Omg research it for yourself
There is a lot of misinformation out there and unfortunately in this video too. TSS is way more complicated than that. It is not caused by what is in the tampon. It is caused by the body fluid resting too long inside the body. There is no reason why pads and tampons would have parabens. There is a lot of misinformation out there and I am afraid you simply took them without really knowing/ understanding the science. I am not an expert in n the other things you talk, but now I find it hard to trust any of it.
Hi! A medical student here (actually getting my MD in a few months). I really feel like this video contains many harmful statements that are not true, which is unfortunate. We should not be afraid to use tampons, for example, since TAMPONS DON'T CAUSE TSS - it's caused by our own vaginal bacteria that thrive if we keep a tampon in for too long. Another cause for TSS is nose packing (even with tissue paper) for nose bleeds that you keep inside your nose for more than a few hours - you wouldn't declare that tissue papers now cause TSS, right? And we all have to stop using tissue papers. It is because, again, it is caused by bacteria thriving on an object we kept in our bodies for too long. Please consult a doctor before uploading or filming these videos. I have personally seen patients come in with these false pretences, and it's so hard to reassure them regarding anything since CZcamsrs and tiktokers they trust keep spreading misinformation like this. It's just alarming that any person with influence doing their own research with no previous training or background can feel free to spread medical information and medical advice to others.
Thank you!!! - sincerely another medical student

Follow Dr Dray, she’s a certified dermatologist and has great information on her channel. Some of the products Shea mentions here are totally safe to use.
@@ndj9376 "safe" until proven not safe, not all doctors have the same opinion and some are wrong so one opinion does not make it safe but lots of perspectives are always good

@@artbigotti2640 If we were I could save a LOT of money by not spending almost 2 decades of my life in medical school, residency, and fellowship lol but people usually want their doctors to be educated on their health conditions rather than just giving them opinions about it so...here we are in 6 figure debt and a lifetime devoted to science with people still not trusting us
If you’d ever like to collab to discuss some of the science behind some of these things, please let me know! There is a ton of fear mongering out there and I love discussing fact from fiction when it comes to marketing. I love you!! ❤️
Exactly what I was thinking. There’s a lot of nonscientific “natural vs toxic” nonsense. Natural can be bad for you, people, and vice versa.
You put this so nicely. I hope that there is further discussion.
I’m shocked that so many people have negative opinions on this videos. We could all benefit from cutting out some ingredients that aren’t the best for you. It’s hard to avoid ALL harmful ingredients but it’s worth it to look for better-for-you ingredients. As a physician, I’m always supporting patients cutting out certain ingredients. Thank you for this video!
I totally agree, everyone is capable of their own research of course and she's not claiming to be an expert. I personally have given up all the products she mentioned years ago so I was nodding along with what she was saying as she said it cuz I've been there researching these things too & healing my body.
Everyone is just so "fact checking mode" I think they discredit her intention of her video & disregard *everything* over mincing her words & take it too intensely.
Well Doc do you actually think she should be on here telling all her viewers that this and that are bad for you when in fact Dermatologist recommend them, ie, petrolatum? We should all be more in the fact-checking mode in my humble, nursing opinion. These people on utube are just making the bucks, even some of the Derms on here.
@@sirenastudios9835 don't discourage fact checking mode, it's a nice change from the listen and believe that has been used against people by snake oil salesmen for centuries
THIS!!
Shea. I tend to agree with the majority here. You do an excellent job on most your videos, so people tend to see you as an expert. In this video you say several things that dermatologist would disagree with. Maybe share with us what your background is… a bachelors in chemistry…..pharmacology… maybe cosmetology? The use of the word “toxin” is just a fill in word…. Define the toxin, and then share the data or study that addresses its effects in the human body. At the end of the day, it’s your channel and you can take it any way you want. I’m seeing someone here who is an alarmist with no responsibility to share data, studies or etiology to support your claims. What proof do you have that any of your alternatives don’t also contain compounds that have adverse reactions in the body? Just asking for a little more responsibility in the claims you make.
Elizabeth, I completely agree.
“I’m seeing someone here who is an alarmist with no responsibility to share data, studies or etiology to support your claims. ..”. The video would have been much more impactful with sources.
Any single person can simply look this information up online…it’s not that hard.
@ModernGoddess81 Yes, anyone can look this information up, but from what source? There is so much misinformation out there.
Dermatologists seem to disagree with most of the points you made here. I for one tried aluminum free deodorants and got very tired of wet pits! 😆 Also FYI the makeup brush cleaner you recommended in a previous video (clear blue fluid-can’t recall the name) is straight up paint thinner. Usually love your vids, but you’re getting your info from a bad source. I’m going to guess Mercola…
Oh my goodness, that cleaner!!! It has the smell of death that never goes away. Sure it cleans the brush, but at what cost to my lungs?!
I went aluminum free after having multiple people in my family including my mom diagnosed with breast cancer. I gave up and read articles debunking the aluminum causes breast cancer myth. Actually no scientific proof behind the claim. Happy to have dry pits again lol!
I bought that makeup brush cleaner based in her recommendation but omg it was so strong it gave my husband and I such a bad headache. I had to through it away.
@@adrianagalyon725 , lol, on the brush cleaner bottle, the first listed warning is Flamable…but Dr Shea has an agenda. When she gets a PHD, becomes a physician or accredited scientist, maybe I will heed her suggestions. Otherwise, she needs to just keep promoting her designer handbags, overpriced love bracelets, and planes.
@@trishee7625 yes I agree with you. She’s losing credibility in my opinion misstating facts. Can be dangerous too.
Shea is a beautiful, energetic and creative woman but I can imagine how many doctors and scientists were laughing and crying while watching this video
Yes I had to stop watching it…sadly 😞 because I really like her. I just don’t feel she has the right education to put it on such a big platform. Don’t get me wrong, I still like her a lot
@@dr.vscorner agreed
I love her, but honestly, I'm not sure if I can keep watching her videos. My biggest pet peeve since starting med school is people misleading others regarding medical information, especially people with so much influence over others.
@@amBr7L I echo your sentiment. I’m a pharmacist with residency and saw so many people try to take care of things the “natural way” instead of listening to their doctors which led to amputations, massive strokes….it makes me sad to see this kind of video 😞 I have the training/education and my own CZcams channel but I still don’t feel comfortable making a blanket statement like that for EVERYONE to follow on these topics. Each person is case by case like we learned in school. Ps. Yay congrats on graduating soon, what a huge accomplishment!!! I remember my sister’s med school graduation 👩🎓 too bad we were virtual at home in 2020
Only made it part way. I'm not laughing but definitely could cry from frustration lol I love her but this whole influencer trend of giving medical advice without the proper education to do so needs to stop. It does far more harm than good
Please watch DR Dray videos for accurate dermatologist information especially regarding Vaseline and sunscreen.
I have to disagree with some things you have said. 1st- there is a difference between anti-perspirant and deodorant : the first keeps you dry and the second keeps you from smelling. 2nd- any sunscreen will do- chemical does not leave a white cast : mineral is less irritating. Lastly, fingernails DO NOT feel pain. It is the skin surrounding and under the nail that has pain receptors. Also, there are many better nail polishes than Zola that do not have the big 5 or 9 (as those chemicals are called). Many can be found on Amazon
Agreed!
Try Mavala
Hmmmmm…….my dear mother just turned 100, is in excellent health, takes no meds, and has colored her hair since she was in her forties. I will continue coloring my grey hair without fearing the ingredients. Too many more serious things to avoid…..
I think the idea is to choose carefully. She didn’t say she thinks you shouldn’t color your hair - she said she is concerned with the regular, popular ones and recommended what she feels are healthier alternatives.
I watch what I put INTO my body very closely and what I put ON it, fairly closely. But I also choose to color my hair and use a “bad” one. I figure I’ve reduced the amount of terrible stuff enough that I’m okay with that risk. And that’s what I think she intended - just know there are alternatives and make informed choices.
I wear period underwear to help with bladder leaks, just so my clothes don’t get wet if I sneeze or cough. I can’t imagine any scenario where these would be a good idea for periods, especially heavy periods. Used in conjunction with something else, yes, definitely they would add protection for clothing. TSS is not caused by chemicals in tampons, it’s a bacterial infection. And fingernails are in fact dead, which is why we can clip them and file them without pain ( no nerve endings, no blood supply etc). Nail beds have nerves and a blood supply.
I agree with the comments that equating chemicals with toxicity isn’t correct. You can drink enough water to kill you or ingest too much salt and die, so there’s that. But I no longer use antiperspirant, or products with aluminum and instead I use a crystal deodorant that works great. I don’t use fluoride toothpaste, I use a period disc in lieu of tampons (literally life changing- check out Period Nirvana for amazing info on discs and cups). Also, when crude petroleum is refined, PAH’s are removed (because they are indeed carcinogenic, in the EU they require a full disclosure on the refining process to ensure the PAH’s are not present in the petroleum jelly). Petroleum jelly is one of the best occlusive barrier agents for transepidermal water loss and excellent for skin protection, even for sensitive skin. It should be noted however that you are putting a lot of faith in the manufacturing refining process if your country doesn’t regulate it. I think you made some good points, but maybe in the future offer a few peer reviewed studies links and clinical trial info. ❤️
the crystal is usually alaun, so pure aluminum salt. you might want to check that out.
and fluoride is important, you are doing yourself no service omitting it.
I really like you, but you're very wrong about a couple of things there. TSS, as someone also pointed out, is caused by the toxins certain bacteria poop out and that might only happen when one leaves the tampon for longer time than they're supposed to. So, persinal hygene is the issue at hand, not toxic ingredients in the product.
And bacteria are ‘natural’!
I agreed with you on some of the products, but this had a lot of demonizing, pseudoscientific talk. Chemicals can be either natural or synthetic, but that doesn't mean safe or dangerous. Many synthetic chemicals are completely safe around humans, while some natural chemicals can be deadly, and are found in common foods such as apples, almonds and potatoes. And any talk about living chemical-free is complete nonsense.
There is so much information in this video that is not evidence based. I’m glad you make it clear that it’s your opinion. Sharing
safety data regarding the ingredients you mentioned should be left to board certified dermatologists and physicians.
There is evidence supporting what I discuss, but yes... these are my opinions! As I mentioned, just things for people to consider and make their own determinations😀 Thanks for watching and much love❤️
@@SheaWhitney I understand you believe you are helping people, but you’re really not. I am a trained scientist, I’ve been in research for 37 years. So much of what you said is not backed up by science! It’s just simply not. There are plenty of sources of information out there that are not reliable, and it's critical to understand which sources are truthful, which are propagating myths, and which are simply marketing ploys from companies trying to sell you something. If you’re going to make these claims and then walk them back and call them opinions, why even do a video like this? Why risk spreading false information? You are better than this.
Your evidence is bad evidence. This video is harmful and misleading. You are selecting evidence supporting what you believe, not the good evidence that proves most of it wrong.
@@SheaWhitney I really want to know if you used the hair color on your roots only or all over???
This video does nothing but create fear. I’m over 60 and I have been using these items since I was a teen ager and nothing has happened so far. This is the reason why “vegan” / “organic” manufacturers tend to overprice their products because of people who are “believers”. I like most of your videos, I support you as I am from Pittsburgh myself. But please be careful with the info you are trying to influence people with, sorry.
Hi. I agree with the main point you make BUT, the FDA's rigorous testing is still done on chemicals (tens of thousands of chemicals!) That are illegal in many other countries due to the potential side effects. Its frustrating that our own government organization isn't completely forthright with these things but that's the truth. Unfortunately, it's really the only measure we have that is 'official' and so we tend to adhere to their guidance. I understand the confusion this can cause though! Just so you know and can choose what's actually best for you...
I don't trust the FDA since they regulate chemicals only and claim plants can't cure diseases.
You are delusional if you trust FDA.
The FDA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the United States. I don’t trust them with anything. That’s why products they approve are recalled years later.
Umm you don't really think everything that's out there in stores are good for you right? Even if it is fda approved.
Just wait until she finds out her own body makes the “toxic chemical” acetone… and ammonia! 😂
🤣
Wow… Reading some of these comments people are really kind of nasty! I love the way she just gives you another side another version of information to take in. I like to hear both sides of issues and I appreciate her giving me her side of things! She truly is just trying to give alternatives to think about - she’s not a scientist she’s not a doctor she doesn’t claim to be.
Also said chemicals are toxic when her whole body is made of chemicals, water is chemical, too much water can also toxic for our body. This video is full of misinformation. She is fashion influencer not skin or hair or gynecologist specialist
I would never wear period underwear and, though you state you wear them, I really wonder about that. There’s no regulation on what makes a tampon or pad “organic". Even if a product says it’s made of organic cotton, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it wasn’t bleached. There are not enough studies to conclude that non-organic cotton tampons are bad. You definitely need to change all tampons often
And if you really want to get frustrated do some more research on what the term "organic" actually constitutes and how big of a marketing scheme it is lol It's also highly unsustainable but yet everyone has been greenwashed into thinking its the healthier option both medically and environmentally when it in fact is not. it's crazy.
I wear period underwear (Thinx) and it's amazing.
If you want buy toxic free tampons look for unbleached organic cotton. I can't use any other kind.
Science has left the chat 😞🤦🏻♀️
Anyone who refuses to keep learning is against science. We don't know everything. Just because something was considered "safe" 30 years ago...doesn't mean it really is. There are so many examples of this in history. We're constantly learning SO MUCH! I don't know why this has be "anti-science" ??? And as I said - do whatever you please!! :) Thanks for watching anyways!! Much love
I think this would be more believable and trusted if there were correlation/causation peer reviewed studies to back up the claims.
@@SheaWhitney As a current medical student that has devoted her entire existence thus far to extensively learning, human biology specifically, I fully agree. The problem is that misinformation stemming from fear based marketing is running rampant and making it difficult for the average consumer to know what they can or cannot trust. I have been following you for years so I know that you are an incredibly intelligent and caring person which is why I would just encourage you to consider the size of your platform and how it can affect people if the information you are sharing is not accurate when it comes to health and medical matters. To my knowledge (please correct me if I am wrong), you are not properly educated on chemistry, biochemistry, cosmetic chemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, oncology, etc, etc, etc so please just be cautious when using your vast platform to make statements about such topics. I know you are coming from a good place and you care about your followers so please just take this into consideration.
For dry shampoo, I buy arrow root powder. It’s literally a food product. Extremely safe and natural. I put it in a shaker that I bought off of Amazon. The kind you put cinnamon powder into or powdered sugar. It works really well and lasts a very long time.
this, too, you shouldn’t inhale. the bad part of dry shampoo isn’t the ingredients, it’s getting particle in your lungs. lungs don’t like particles.
I'm super happy to see that you're looking more deeply into the massive amount of products that we are bombarded with. I have been using TruEarth laundry sheets to wash my clothes and they are fantastic. My husband is extremely allergic to the preservatives in all liquid products, not to mention that the waste of plastic is pretty sad with those huge bottles. Please continue to look deeply into what we put onto our skin, what we ingest and how we are treating the planet. Thanks, Shea xo
Please source your research in scientific journals.
Love you and your videos shea- thanks for the info, but, we live once and if we enjoy one of these products I think it’s ok to use it and enjoy it !! It’s ok to enjoy something “more toxic” because the air we breathe is likely more carcinogenic than any of those. Our cell phones and stress etc are killing us faster than any of these. One life Shea!! ❤️
You are right! The air that we breath is toxic because all I smell is fragrance from people's dryer sheets and laundry detergent. That's why I moved to a rural area where the air is clean. I seldom use a cell phone (I know about cell phones) and I keep stress at a minimum, You are right! One life so live it wisely.
Hi Shea! I appreciate these videos SO much. I see comments about controversial content, but you are spreading awareness & I think it’s wonderful! People are welcome to do their own research after watching your videos! You’re not claiming to be a Dr or scientist. You actually changed my life last year, not to sound dramatic, lol… but really. I’m 38, and I had a horrible bout with cystic acne last year, out of no where. I couldn’t get it to go away. I watched a video of yours where you mentioned that hot dogs & processed meat are known carcinogens, & I went & read up on it, & realized my husband and I ate some form of processed meat daily for that past year! We cut it out, & my acne COMPLETELY cleared up. I think my body had been trying to warn me to stop being lazy and meal prep better:-)
Thank you SO much for your content and sharing info you find important. I ❤ how much you care!
Well said!
Cite your sources.
I love that Acure dry shampoo! I switched a few months ago - quick hack: I always struggled with getting this into my hair without getting stuck in one spot or making a mess in my bathroom - I bought a kabuki brush and a flat little jar and I shake a little bit of it into the jar and then dip the kabuki brush into it, tap it off, and can spread it throughout my hair so easily! I wanted to switch to powder dry shampoo for years but struggled with how hard it is to use and this hack has been life saving!
Great video! I was excited to hear about your natural hair color product recommendation for grey hair. Unfortunately for me, it contains PPD, which is a common ingredient for darker colors. I am allergic to this ingredient, which is not completely uncommon. The allergy progressed gradually from itching to full on blisters the last time I tried coloring my hair. Blond highlights never caused any problems. I am really happy it works so well for you ; I am still searching for a solution!
Hi there you might want to try colour and Soin permanent hair colour.
What a GREAT video! I hadn't even thought about most of this! THANKYOU! What do you use for hair spray and hair products?
So what do you use for antiperspirant? I live in Florida and I can use aluminum free deodorant but how to keep from sweating?
I switched out my kids shampoos and personal products awhile ago and have tried to replace my own products. I used the Honest balm with my newborn when she had cradle cap across her forehead and it worked so well. I appreciate this video so much!
you can just use breat milk on the craddle cap, cheaper.
Thank you for sharing and there lots of great product recommendations here!
These are things “just to consider” like she said which is what she led with 👍
My dermatologist says there’s nothing wrong with aluminum deodorant.
That is correct. There are no scientific studies linking aluminum used topically with cancer. None. Zero. There was speculation many years ago about a possible link, but the subsequent studies showed otherwise. It’s frustrating to see these false beliefs still being passed around like old wive’s tales. I’m quite certain companies selling antiperspirants without aluminum are instrumental in keeping the myth alive.
Love the video! Thank you for the info! You rock Shea 💪
Hi Shea, you want to recheck your work before you scared people off!! Any sunscreen is better than no sunscreen. Petroleum is not as bad as you make it. There are so many dermatologist on this platform that you could of reached out before you missed inform your audience. And if you are doing this as promoting the Honest brand, shame on you, not the way to make money.
She’s ALL about making the money, hawking and promoting products, clothes, jewelry. Hence she can spend $8000 for a bracelet while hopping on her private plane. Not a responsible or reliable source for the “information” she spouted in this video. She is an influencer, and laughs all the way to the bank.
Thank you so much Shea! I am 57 and we used all these things. I have ovarian cancer. You may be saving lives. Huge props. ❤️
❤️
Love your hair in this video, Shea! 💛
This video came at a perfect time for me. Thank you for providing better options. 😊
Hi Shea thanks for the healthy tips for healthier options
Hi Shea
Thank you so much for this, I was kinda aware of most of this but to get it all explained like this is great 😊 thanks
Your hair looks so pretty. 🥰 I’ve been using Zoya nail Polish for years and love it. Also, I use the Acura skincare line including SPF 30 day cream - it’s amazing!
The dry shampoo!
I’ve been using that exact kind for years. I went from washing my hair daily, even twice sometimes (I live in Phoenix and I’m oily)
Now I can get away without washing for up to 5 days!!! Sometimes may need to apply it twice during those five days but it saves me so much time, energy, water, shampoo etc.
You can sprinkle it on or shake it onto your hands and apply to specific places like behind your ears and the bottom of your scalp
It does look powder at first but work it in or apply before bed. The powdery look goes away within a couple hours depending on how well you work it in but I also feel like it adds volume too
I definitely recommend, this video has a lot of great recommendations. I really strive to use all eco, animal, health friendly products and videos like these help
dry shampoo has no bad ingredients. you lung doesnt like to i hale particles, that’s all. if you inhale your stuff, it’s bad too.
I find natural deodorant last longer anyway. Native jasmine & sage is the best scent. Thanks Shea for the information.
I totally agree with you, in India no indian women NEVER EVER put chemicals on their skins/hair. Its just a thing of our developped countries. Once i was in a shop in Cochin, and i was asking for a loreal shampoo, and i randomly asked a woman/client what she thought about it, 2 other indian ladies joined us and they all said, « we never put chemicals on our skin or hair, those products are for the westerners . « and we can all agree that indian ladies have beautiful skin/ hair and teeth.at 60 they look 40.but they eat healthier too..
I'm truly shocked! Thanks for sharing Shea!
A lot of dermatologists are ok with petroleum jelly, like Dr. Dray
I'd rather use sunscreen and deodorant than burn or smell bad. Our mothers and grandmother's used these. I do buy vegan products and nothing tested on any animals.
I totally agree!
Me too
I put organic olive oil in a dispenser and use it as a moisturizer for my whole body after a shower. I love it.
Love this video Shea! ❤️
One of my FAVORITE Videos Shea!!
Quite a few of the natural products she suggests, also contain soy, which is a Top 9 Allergen as well as a Hormone Disruptor.
Thank you for this video!!! Five years ago I was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I was lucky to have beat it! 🙏🏼 I have been trying to figure out what has caused it, ever since. As soon as I was diagnosed, I radically changed my lifestyle. From stopping acrylic nails, to the foods that I was eating and also the products that I use on my skin and hair. I am going to take every single one of your recommendations and completely change all of them! Please bring more videos like this. Thank you so much again! ❤️
Unfortunately you have to get sick to find out that what she is saying is true!
Love this Shea! I’m with you on this stuff
Your hair looks pretty like this! Thanks for these tips
I wish people would do more research on this topic. It's so important to be aware of what you put on and in your body. I had a cancer scare a few years ago and I started to do lots of research and cut out so many ingredients and products that I can't even believe are allowed to be sold. It disgusts me.
Exactly !!! They don't do any research and then bash her for exposing the truth because they are so brainwashed
Best body lotion dermatologists love is Sorbelene - most body lotions using this as their holding compound. No fragrance or nasties. Great to use as a soap in the shower for very soft skin.
Thanks for the alternatives. I think it’s really nice to have options in general. ❤️
Hi Shea, thank you for the recommendations. Does the deodorant you mentioned help with sweat as well? I live in California where it’s been in the 90/100 Degrees
Shea, let’s just agree that it is probably your most controversial video yet… let’s shake it off, learn from mistakes and move forward with a better informed content 😘
Sometimes you have no idea what you're saying. You don't spray propane on your hair. Really, I hate that you act like you understand chemicals and things like that.
I love the DOT cup!! There is zero leak and zero mess for me!
Thank you for all this info…keep ‘‘em coming!
Thoughts on self tanner?
shea this is such an awesome video. If any one is in their 30's plus and haven't had kids yet, changing out these things can have an improvement on your egg quality. It's all in book called "it start's with an egg." thank you for using your channel to help women!
YESSS!!! I have heard so much about that book!!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Great awareness video. Thanks for sharing the alternatives. You are wonderful 😍😍
This is what I'm allllll about!!! Thanks Shea for sharing! Some people dont know
Another alternative for loose power is arrowroot flour. It's very cheap, odourless, fine and leaves no trace, but is a fantastic setting powder.
My mother has been dying her hair for 60 years and she's healthy. That's one thing I cannot stop is dying my hair.
Hi Shea!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. I’m a mom of 2 boys and since day 1 I have been using Vaseline on them after every bath 😳 I bought the Honest brand that you recommended but I was hoping you could tell me if the Burt’s bees brand is good to use as well?? Thank you so much!!!
Your hair looks beautiful Shea! 🌸
So glad you mentioned coconut oil! Yes! This is what I use! It goes on so nicely and doesn't leave streaks, no greasy residue. It hydrates SO MUCH better than the terrible lotions anyway!
Hi, Tabi! I’ll have to try coconut oil.
Try almond oil! It’s beautifully silky and it’s less comedogenic than coconut oil. I use both, but prefer almond.
Be careful, though, if you have a tree nut allergy. You’d need to avoid the almond oil as almonds are tree nuts. Coconuts aren’t really tree nuts, so most people with tree nut allergies are fine with coconut oil. Just exercise caution the first couple of times you use it.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thanks! I haven't tried almond oil, but I had been thinking about it. I will give it a try.
@@nancyrenick9805 You should! It is SO GOOD on very dry skin!
@@tabilittlefield1326
It’s tempting to put it on in the tub, but be REALLY careful if you try that. It’s lightweight and comes out pretty fast which makes it’s possible - actually, likely - that you will spill some the first time or two, turning your tub into an ice rink! It only takes a drop or two in a wet tub to spread and make it a very dangerous fall hazard. Once you get your method down, you can move it into the tub if you choose. I don’t because I’m a fraidy cat! LOL
So so glad you did this! I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 6 years ago right after I turned 30 and switched all of my products because of everything you mentioned! Great job bringing awareness to toxic ingredients!
Thank you for your helpful recommendations.
Being someone with mobility issues period panties have been a game changer for me! best innovation ever!
Yay I love this type of video! Next we need home and rest of lifestyle part 2!
Shae! You need to try the flex menstrual discs. I love my period underwear but these have been a game changer!!!!
Free bleeding is the best. The discs aren't free bleeding
Hi Shea! So Happy! 😁 to meet you (Thanks Kallie!) and can’t wait to watch you and your awesome advice! Thank you!! 🙏☺️
Love this video so much💛 would love if you did more!
I LOVE your videos Shea, avid watcher. But this video is cringy and fear instilling. I love your suggestions for better alternatives, but throwing around the terms toxic and cancer so much is hard to watch.
I 100% agree
Know what’s harder? A cancer diagnosis…
@@Lucinda_Jackson 💯 TRUTH 💣
Agree. It’s irresponsible.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Absolutely! And I hope no one would deny that! Which is why it is imperative that we make what we actually do know about cancer prevention easily accessible and minimize the misinformation that was originally created and spread by industries with no other incentive besides marketing their products.
Zoya freaking rocks!!!! I love that you're recommending them!
Very informative video!
Will you be doing videos on fall decorating, fall porch decorating, back to school shopping videos??
I'm so early, this never happens. Shea, i really enjoy your content. Thank you for everything you do. From the UK. 🥰🥰
