me tell you one thing it is not just your ex-boyfriend that's toxic honey it's your
products too get rid of them kick them to the curb what's up you guys welcome back to my
channel I'm so excited for today's video because we're throwing out all my toxic [ __ ] so I have
just decided for 2023 that I really want to clean up my life I want to clean up the ingredients that
I'm eating and putting on my skin and my body I have really emptied out my pantry my fridge
cut out seed oils I have cut out a lot of bad ingredients in food and everything like that
I'll kind of talk more about that in future what I eat in the days but that has also brought me
down the path of looking at what's actually in my skincare what's actually in my hair care what's
actually in my makeup it all kind of started when I got pregnant because my doctor gave me this list
of things I couldn't use I couldn't use retinol I couldn't use chemical sunscreen and it really
caught me looking at wait what's actually in my sunscreen what's actually in this product
that I'm using and I've never actually talked about this but during my pregnancy I think God
had a really easy textbook pregnancy but I did have thyroid issues that was luckily fixed on
medication and postpartum I had thyroid problems as well which actually landed me in the hospital
I had a really scary situation with that and my postpartum Journey really wasn't the easiest I
had a lot of just like hormonal changes like I said thyroid issues so I have already gone
through a good amount of my products while I was pregnant but like I said I kind of took a pause
there postpartum because I was dealing with a lot and now that I really feel like myself I'm eight
months postpartum now I really feel like myself again I have a clear head it really got me like
looking like okay Amy you actually need to legit go through every single product that you're using
and check the ingredients because there are a lot of toxic ingredients in the products that
we're using and I actually posted on my stories the other day I said something like it's sad that
companies don't care but honestly it's actually sadder that we as consumers don't care because
we're the ones buying it if we keep purchasing these toxic products the companies are just
going to keep making them and I think they're making the profit from it because they're using
ingredients that are cheaper for them to Source they don't care that they're bad for our health
health they're just cheaper for them to source so they're making profit from it there has been such
a rise in so many health issues over the years cancer infertility issues reproductive issues
just our health in general has just changed astronomically over the years and you really
have to ask why a lot of it has to do with the food that we're consuming the products that we're
putting on our body and I'm honestly ready to just go completely clean with my entire life and cut
out these toxic products out of my skincare drawer out of my hair care drawer and I know a lot of you
guys are probably wondering what about your makeup Amy that's the million dollar question I will have
a video addressing makeup really soon so stay tuned for that make sure you're subscribed sign
up for notifications so you guys don't miss that I will have a video about makeup really soon but
quick little disclaimer I just want to say the goal is to not like drive yourself crazy and try
to be 100 non-toxic and be 100 clean because you will drive yourself crazy the goal is not to be
perfect it's to be better I am not an expert you guys I've just done a lot of research from experts
and looked at a lot of research studies the thing is I don't look at myself as like an influencer
but the reality is I am like I have this platform here on YouTube so if anybody can actually make
these companies change it's us YouTubers it's us influencers that can actually go on social
media Take A Stand and say hey we're not going to use your toxic products anymore until you change
also a huge discount gamer I just want to say I do not hate these companies at all at all quite
the opposite a lot of these companies have been my favorites for years a lot of these companies
I've worked with and done sponsorships with over the years because they have my favorite products
but I'm just at a place where I'm not willing to use them anymore because of the toxic ingredients
that are well known in these products I actually just think a lot of these companies there are some
companies out there that know these products are bad and just don't care but there's a lot
of companies that simply don't know about these toxic ingredients and just aren't educated in that
department so all we can do is call them out and hope that they change so I've actually been using
this app this is not sponsored let me just say that legit this is not sponsored this girl does
not even know who I am but I found this girl on Instagram she created her own app the reason she
created her own app was because a lot of apps like ewg Think Dirty a lot of these apps I would go and
scan products and they would come up as like green clean and I would go physically myself look at the
ingredient list can see fragrance in it I would see phenoxyethanol which is a major red flag in
ingredients fragrance alone is such a hormone disruptor literally as women our hormones are
the number one thing we should be taking care of so it kind of got me thinking like I don't really
trust this app like I don't really like the ewg app and think dirty up personally she created this
app called switch natural this app is amazing because instead of scanning a barcode you scan
a literal like ingredient list organic and there you go it'll tell you all of the toxic ingredients
in this specific product and the greatest thing about it is you can actually click the individual
ingredients and it'll tell you why it is toxic it'll explain and she will link research studies
and articles supporting with actual evidence it's a one-time fee so you only pay once it's
not something you have to pay constantly monthly so I will leave that app download so let's go
through my products together okay so I actually went through a lot of my products when I was
pregnant like I told you guys and I switched deodorants I found this thanks for that is 100
non-toxic I absolutely love it so I am keeping these this I briefly talked about in one of my
recent Vlogs this would be honest all-purpose balm so good you guys completely non-toxic it
is a great substitute for like Aquaphor and Vaseline like those type of stuff I love this
completely all purpose I use this on kylo's cheek I use this all over my hands it has cleared up my
eczema on my hands so I love this so much Pharmacy whipped greens cleanser I switched to this one
after discovering that the CeraVe cleanser is toxic let's pull up the CeraVe cleanser
and there you have it so I do not use this one anymore the swap that I made was the pharmacy
and if you're looking for a good drugstore affordable option which I just want to also
say I will have tons of videos coming up in the future just share with you guys even drugstore
affordable options too but in terms of skincare Lolita is such a good brand I highly encourage
you guys to do your own research look at the ingredients yourselves don't just take
what I say as Bible you know search it up yourself this ordinary hyaluronic acid I'm
so disappointed in right away I can see it has phenoxyethanol there you go five toxic ingredients
unfortunately I scanned this yesterday and it has a ton of potentially toxic ingredients as
well another thing I want to say is you can't completely trust the clean at Sephora stamp
um there are a lot of products on the clean at Sephora that are not actually clean they have
fragrance in them and no hormone disrupter so you can't always just trust that that's why I really
like using the app and looking at the ingredients physically myself skin and there you go
this Pharmacy retinol has one potentially toxic ingredient I'm keeping it for now but
I'm definitely gonna look for an alternative also a lot of this just comes down to really
what you're comfortable with um maybe you're comfortable more going the low toxicity route
where if you're okay if maybe something has one or two um this one has one I will find an
alternative but I'll keep it for now this is 100 clean as well my absolute favorite
foreign
okay these items over here I need to scan them to see if they are good
and it is not good so I will be getting rid of this one too now let's scan the sunscreen nope
which a lot of sunscreens are pretty bad it's quite hard to find a really good sunscreen so
getting rid of that as well and I'm pretty sure this one's probably not good too either nope not
good either but one thing I will call out is it does have fragrance in it but if you look at the
ingredient list here it looks like glow recipe has 100 naturally derived their fragrance which
is great so I'm not concerned with the fact that fragrances popped up because I know they've used
naturally derived fragrance but this right here carcinogenic so that's it for my skincare drawer
I clearly need to do some non-toxic shopping I'm actually probably going to take you guys
shopping with me soon on a vlog oh there's more down here more skincare the Ulta I scanned that
already and it is unfortunately not good so I will be getting rid of that this is expired so
I'm getting rid of that anyways so ordinary glycolic acid not good getting rid of that
oh Hair Care is like another ball game you guys all right let's look at what we got in
here also what's cool about this app is you can take a photo directly in the app
not good so I will be getting rid of this although it's my absolute favorite I have already scanned
a lot of weight products unfortunately my favorite brand if you're watching this I
love you so much but please please switch to clean ingredients Let's scan this dream coat
take a photo of it it's gonna be hard not to get a reflection there we go let's try that photo
aerosol cans I'm actually just completely going to stop using aerosol cans because a
lot of times with the aerosol you're inhaling the fumes so far I am getting rid of so many
insane also I was doing a lot of research yesterday looking up like clean Beauty Brands and
you guys there are so many amazing clean Beauty Brands out there to be discovered but they just
don't get that much exposure so I know it may look like oh my God and even if it felt like that on me
for me at first like oh my God these have been my Staples for years that I've loved like this
is what I've Loved using on my hair my skin my makeup and everything but there's so many great
alternatives to these products like you don't need to use them as a text as we are to them there's
so many great clean Beauty Alternatives out there aerosol can getting rid of and I'm pretty
sure the ingredients are really bad too yeah I already see PGE in here I already see fragrance
my favorite styling gel but I am pretty sure this is not going to be
good oh phenoxyethanol already I see that not good unfortunately you guys this is my
absolute favorite hair mask ever and I have a brand new tube this unfortunately I have
been using this for over 10 years you guys if anybody is like attached to this product it's
me but it's just got it's time to get rid of because I have scanned it and it is not good
not good I am keeping this because I have nothing else to take off my makeup tonight so I'm keeping
this for now but tonight I'm literally going shopping so I have this L'Oreal box that I use to
dye my hair and let's address something it kind of got me thinking like there are great uh hair dye
alternates out there like ammonia free and stuff but I'm pretty sure even those have ingredients
that are not good but for me personally if I'm using something once a month or not even I dye my
hair like once every three months I'm personally like okay with that um a lot of this is just going
to be up to your discretion what you're personally comfortable with for me I really want to focus
on the products that I am using everyday multiple times a day and even weekly you're never going to
be like 100 clean because there's where reality is there's toxic chemicals and everything everywhere
um so for me it's more about limiting my exposure personally I'm okay if I'm gonna use something
that I love I actually got this one when I was pregnant because when I went to the hospital I
didn't want to use any toxic lotions on my body anything scented when I'm holding kylo for the
first time after giving birth you know on my skin so that's what really got me into looking like at
body lotions and stuff and I found this honest one I love if you're in the US you could probably find
this easier but in Canada it's been so hard for me to just be able to access this easily I had
to pay like an overpriced amount so I'm looking to like switch to something more convenient I bought
this one I really love the feel of this although it says unscented it has like this weird little
smell to it that really bothers me but I do love their unscented hand lotion so good but this it
performs really well just has a weird Zen time and still looking for announcement lotion that I like
like this is crazy you guys the amount of toxic products that I have been using for years and
consuming is crazy I love the Isle of paradise but I've already scanned it and it is toxic so
it's Gotta Go I actually already purchased a new non-toxic tanning that I'm gonna try from Sephora
Sephora actually has one so for me I am okay with the DHA and Tanny products because there's
currently just no other option on the market I did a lot of research on that when I was pregnant but
regardless of the DHA a lot of tanning products create contain a lot of toxic ingredients
unfortunately I love the Bondi Sands but I will have to be getting rid of it so Bonnie Sands
if you're watching this I absolutely love your formula even their Pure Line I've scanned they're
Pure Line and it is not so pure um so I love you but please please switch to clean Beauty and use
um good ingredients so that I can use your products again because I love Bondi Sands
but I will not be able to use it anymore I'm going to get rid of them there's really no
need to use synthetic fragrance in products you can use essential oils plant-based Aromas there
are other options than synthetic fragrance that to structure hormones and here are all
of the toxic ingredients in the Bondi Sands carcinogenic and associated with reproductive
Developmental and endocrine effects and DNA damage I actually haven't scanned loving tan but
my hopes are just not high after scanning yeah fragrance right away and I see phenoxyethanol
right away in there too let's take a look at the Jergens pretty sure this is not gonna be
good too perfume synthetic fragrance in there I don't even need to scan because it's like right
away I'm seeing that and I'm not willing to put that on my body anymore fragrance okay so
this is my new product drawer and backups drawer I'm excited to look through these
because I haven't even like gone through these to see this is the summer Fridays mineral milk
sunscreen phenoxyethanol this one is scanning clean so I'm excited the honeymoon glow I have
loved this product for a long time so I've decided to keep that let's see the
Deep sweep clean so excited a lot of Pharmacy products are clean you can't just go assume
the whole brand is because there are a few that aren't [Music] um no bueno getting rid of this
[Music]
phenoxyethanol getting rid of that clean so I will be keeping this I've actually never tried this and
I'm excited to try it this big sport sunscreen is great it it does scan clean but unfortunately
um it does leave a white cast I'm not crazy about
it but I will be keeping it I'll use it on my chest and my body
fragrance getting rid of that I believe I already scanned this the other day the pharmacy vitamin C
serum and it's good but let's just double check yep clean I'm telling you so many good Pharmacy
products you guys I literally cannot believe the amount of products I am having to get rid
of pretty much my entire like routine is right here and just full of toxic ingredients it's wild
[Music] foreign this is a really great bubble bath if you guys are looking for something that just
really lathers up really well this is completely non-toxic clean love their ingredients I love
think sport um just as a brand even think baby they have like multiple lines but I'm going to
be getting rid of my whey shampoo and conditioner because unfortunately I scan them and they are no
bueno unfortunately but I did just place an order last night on well.ca even Whole Foods has this
brand too a lot of places to sell this brand but attitude is such an amazing brand their shampoo
and conditioner I'm so excited to try it actually has really good reviews so I just bought that in
replacement for this and it's cheaper like the attitude shampoo cost me like nine dollars where
I think this is like 40 or 50. it's crazy it feels so good you guys to just get rid of all of these
