My Fav Low Tox Shower Products
• Innersense Products: smell amazing, give salon quality and works really well for the wavy hair I developed after kids.
• Scalp Tool: It’s silicone so it’s gentle on the scalp but helps so much with removing dead skin and really getting the shampoo in.
• Wide Comb: I love the hook it has to hang on my shower head and use to comb through hair with conditioner in.
• Dr. Bronner’s Castile Baby Bar: Simple, it does the job and love it as step 1 of my double body cleanse. (don’t have a pic because didn’t have an unused bar to show for)
• California Naturals: A low tox body wash that smells like summer, if you love coconut you’ll love this. Step 2 of my double body cleanse.
• Josie Maran: I will never not love this brand, the scrub is super fine and gentle on skin and post shower my skin is so soft and moisturized.
• Rael Beauty Facial Cleanser: Another super gentle scrub but super effective for my skin. A favorite skin care and women hygiene brand for sure.

When I first started my low-tox journey, hair care was one of the biggest challenges, especially with my wavy hair. I used to think all shampoos were the same, but once I started noticing how certain ingredients made my scalp feel itchy or my hair look dull, I knew it was time for a change. That's when I discovered the magic of Innersense Pure Harmony Hairbath and Pure Inspiration Daily Conditioner. Honestly, these products have been a game-changer for my wavy hair, giving it definition and shine without any heaviness or nasty chemicals. The scent alone is enough to make my shower feel like a spa! But it's not just about the shampoo and conditioner. Scalp health is severely underrated! My silicone scalp massage tool, which I use with my Innersense shampoo, has made a world of difference. It gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and product buildup that can hinder hair growth and make your scalp feel less than fresh. Plus, it feels incredibly relaxing and helps stimulate blood flow, which is supposed to be great for hair follicles. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in dryness and flakiness since incorporating it into my routine. Beyond specific products, a truly low-tox hair care routine involves understanding what ingredients to avoid. I learned to steer clear of harsh sulfates (like SLS and SLES) that strip natural oils, parabens that can mimic estrogen, and synthetic fragrances that often contain undisclosed chemicals. Instead, I look for plant-based ingredients, essential oils for fragrance, and products that prioritize transparency. It's truly empowering to know what you're putting on your body! Another tip I've picked up is to consider your water quality. Hard water can leave mineral buildup on your hair, making it feel dry and brittle, even with the best low-tox products. Installing a shower filter was a small step that made a huge impact on my hair's texture and overall health. And for really gentle detangling, especially with conditioner in, that wide-tooth comb with the hook has been a lifesaver – it prevents breakage and keeps my waves intact. Transitioning to low-tox hair care might take a little patience. Your hair might go through a 'detox' phase where it feels a bit different as it adjusts to not being coated with silicones or stripped by sulfates. But trust me, sticking with it is worth it for healthier, happier hair in the long run. It's all about nourishing your hair from the scalp down with ingredients you can feel good about.
