Did you know that from the time you wake up and take a bath until you are ready to leave your house, on average, you have already been in contact with more than 40 toxic ingredients?
Your shampoo, toothpaste, soap, even the detergent you use to wash your clothes add chemicals to your routine, which on their own in low doses seem harmless, but when added together, they can be affecting your health on a daily basis.
That is why I talk about the importance of replacing some of your products with natural alternatives, so we can reduce these chemicals and at the same time discover products that give you much better results.
I wanted to create a DETOX KIT that brings together my favorite products from the Blooms&Blends lines that I don't change for anything and use daily, (at a great price) so that you can start making some positive changes for yourself and your family.
1. Renewal Wash - Shampoo and soap
When I started using the chapo I started to see more hair than I have, it hydrates you a lot and heals it (and I say this for you, not just your children).
Commercial shampoos contain ingredients that make your hair feel delicious when you bathe, as if you had put a treatment on your hair, but in the long run they harm your hair by drying it out and taking away its natural shine.
That's why we created a natural shampoo that not only cleans but hydrates and strengthens your hair from the roots using pure natural ingredients.
We all use this in my house, both for hair and body, it has a clean rosemary aroma, it doesn't sting the eyes and most importantly: without neurotoxic ingredients!
2. Argan Mist – Detangler & Hair Treatment
The favorite of many of my followers, they started using it on their children and they already nailed it for you. (Just like me). In addition to being a detangler, it is a treatment and works as an anti-frizz, we recommend that you apply it after bathing with the Renewal Shampoo, and apply it from the middle to the ends. It contains natural ingredients that repair the hair such as mandarin essential oil, broccoli seed, olive tree, among others.
3. Vitamin E Boost - Body Cream
Ideal moisturizing cream to treat dryness, atopic dermatitis and counteract dry climates. We develop a formula high in antioxidants that softens, nourishes and reinforces the skin's protective barrier, designed to care for the sensitive skin of the whole family.
4. Rosehip Elixir - Anti-Stretch Mark Body Oil
It is the jewel in the crown, our anti-stretch mark body oil, regenerates, hydrates and contains anti-inflammatory properties. Although we formulated it thinking about the stage of pregnancy when the body requires hydration the most since the skin is stretching, I, like many, exchange it forever for our body cream.
You apply it after bathing from your neck to your feet, and while I'm looking for what to wear, it dries since it absorbs quickly so you can get dressed later and not stain your clothes. It leaves a hydrating glow on your skin that you will love. It's my forever favorite, I can't live without it.
5. Mini Balancing Snail Serum - Regenerating Serum
After washing my face I apply this serum, as it regenerates the skin at a cellular level and stimulates its own collagen production, this is your medicine and what you start the day with.
I apply it to 5 points on the face and 2 on the neck.
6. Mini Bakuchiol Midnight Recovery - Anti Aging Night Cream
The last step of the night routine that helps us seal our products. I have been using it constantly for more than two years and it has helped me unify, depigment and hydrate my skin.
Bakuchiol is vegan retinol, which is being used in Europe and Korea because it provides the anti-aging results of retinol without sensitizing the skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin elasticity, increases collagen production and smoothes expression lines.
7. Tangy Fresh Washer – Dish Soap
Dishes are in direct contact with our food, so any soap residue can be super toxic to our health. We take so much care of the food we consume and sometimes even invest in organic foods and something as basic as soap may be spoiling our efforts. That's why this natural alternative was formulated to be effective against grease, but very gentle on your hands without leaving toxic residue.
8. Lavender Gentle Care – Powder detergent for all types of clothing
If you are going to change a cleaning product in your home for a natural one, please let it be your detergent, the chemicals with which we wash our sheets and clothes are in contact with our skin all day. Traditional detergent is made from petrochemicals (yes, they come from crude oil) and has been linked to mucous membrane damage, lung inflammation, and has been proven to cause asthma and cancer. Lavender Gentle Care's formula uses essential oils, magnesium sulfate, and baking soda to clean, remove stains, and soften your clothes naturally.
I invite you to take this first step towards going natural with products that I have been using for years and that I know work wonderfully so that this change is a little easier for you.
