✨ Organic Body & Face Care

Your Skin Absorbs
Everything.
Make It Count.

The average person applies 12 personal care products before leaving home — most containing ingredients that absorb directly through the skin. Here's how to go completely organic, from face to body, without compromise.

⚠️ Know Before You Buy
The 8 Ingredients to Remove From Your Bathroom Immediately
These synthetic compounds appear in the majority of conventional personal care products — and are absorbed through the skin at measurable rates. None are required by the FDA to be safety-tested before use in cosmetics.
☣️
Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben)
Synthetic preservatives. Detected in breast tissue samples. Mimic oestrogen and disrupt the endocrine system.
☣️
Phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP)
Hidden in "fragrance." Linked to reproductive harm and developmental toxicity. Often not listed individually on labels.
☣️
Sodium Lauryl / Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES)
Harsh detergents that strip the skin's natural barrier. SLES may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a probable carcinogen.
☣️
Synthetic Fragrance / "Parfum"
A single word that can hide 3,000+ undisclosed chemicals, many known allergens, neurotoxins, and hormone disruptors.
☣️
Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives
DMDM hydantoin, quaternium-15, imidazolidinyl urea. Slowly release formaldehyde — a known human carcinogen.
☣️
Oxybenzone & Avobenzone
Chemical UV filters absorbed into the bloodstream within 20 minutes of application. Found in breast milk. Reef-destroying.
☣️
Triclosan
Antibacterial agent that disrupts thyroid hormones, contributes to antibiotic resistance. Still in some toothpastes and soaps.
☣️
PEGs (Polyethylene Glycols)
Petroleum-derived compounds used as thickeners and penetration enhancers — helping other chemicals absorb deeper into skin.

☀️ Sun Protection & 🦷 Oral Care

Badger
Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40
USDA Organic Mineral Sunscreen
The cleanest sunscreen available — just 5 ingredients, all organic. Non-nano zinc oxide (the only UV filter both dermatologists and toxicologists agree is genuinely safe), organic sunflower oil, organic beeswax, organic jojoba, and vitamin E. No white cast in the Clear Zinc formula. EWG top-rated every year.
Why it's recommended: Badger has held the EWG's highest sunscreen rating for over a decade. Non-nano zinc sits on top of the skin rather than absorbing into the bloodstream — unlike oxybenzone, which is detectable in blood within 20 minutes of application.
USDA Organic EWG Top-Rated Non-Nano Zinc Only Reef-Safe
David's Natural
Premium Natural Toothpaste
Fluoride-Free · SLS-Free Toothpaste
Made in the USA with nano-hydroxyapatite (the natural mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel) instead of fluoride — the approach used in Japanese dentistry for 40 years. SLS-free, carrageenan-free, artificial sweetener-free. Packaged in recyclable metal tubes (not plastic). EWG Verified.
Why it's recommended: David's solves both the ingredient concern (SLS causes canker sores in sensitive users; fluoride is controversial at high doses) and the packaging problem — most natural toothpastes still use plastic tubes. The nano-hydroxyapatite formula is clinically proven to remineralise enamel.
EWG Verified Nano-Hydroxyapatite Metal Tube (No Plastic) Vegan
Dirt Don't Hurt

🧪 DIY Organic Beauty Recipes

🌿
Organic Green Clay Face Mask
⏱ 5 min · Weekly
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp organic French green clay powder
  • 1 tbsp organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp organic rosehip oil
  • 3 drops organic tea tree essential oil
  • Filtered water to desired consistency
Instructions
  1. Mix clay and ACV in a non-metal bowl — clay reacts with metal.
  2. Add rosehip oil and tea tree. Mix until smooth paste.
  3. Add water gradually to reach spreadable consistency.
  4. Apply to clean face, avoiding eye area. Leave 10–15 min.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with moisturiser.
💡 Never let clay dry completely — it over-strips. Remove when still slightly damp.
🌹
Organic Rose Facial Toner
⏱ 5 min · Daily
Ingredients
  • ½ cup organic rose water (hydrosol)
  • ½ cup organic witch hazel (alcohol-free)
  • 1 tsp organic vegetable glycerin
  • 5 drops organic lavender essential oil
  • 5 drops organic frankincense essential oil
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a dark glass spray bottle.
  2. Shake gently to combine. Label with date.
  3. After cleansing, mist 2–3 sprays onto damp face.
  4. Pat in gently — do not rub. Follow immediately with serum or moisturiser.
  5. Keeps 4–6 weeks at room temperature; refrigerate to extend.
💡 Alcohol-free witch hazel is critical — alcohol-based versions strip the skin's acid mantle and cause long-term dryness.
🍯
Organic Honey & Oat Exfoliating Scrub
⏱ 5 min · 2x weekly
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp organic colloidal oat powder
  • 1 tbsp organic raw honey
  • 1 tbsp organic coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp organic lemon juice (brightening)
  • 3 drops organic sweet orange essential oil
Instructions
  1. Combine oat powder and honey in a small bowl.
  2. Add melted coconut oil and lemon juice. Mix to a paste.
  3. Add essential oil. Stir well.
  4. Apply to damp face in gentle circular motions for 1 minute.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Apply toner and moisturiser.
💡 Make fresh each time — honey and citrus combinations don't preserve well. The lemon juice provides natural AHA exfoliation.
