💅 Regardless of what brands tell you, “non-toxic” nail polish DOES NOT EXIST! Many brands use buzzwords like 16-free or 17-free (free from toxic chemicals like BPA and formaldehyde), but it’s a half-truth at best. Those nail polishes can still contain 10-11 other carcinogenic and hormone-disrupting chemicals. 😱 One study even found that using nail polish spiked levels of TPHP – a chemical linked to hormone disruption and even obesity in rats! To top it off, a few brands claiming to be TPHP-free were found to have HIGHER LEVELS! 📈 The worst part? 👉 Some brands know these facts and blatantly lie to their buyers about how TOXIC their ingredients are. As a Girl-Dad and a married man 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧, I care deeply about my family’s health. To help steer their health in the right direction, my wife and daughters use a natural buff and wax kit for daily beauty that enhances their nails’ without the toxins. Check out the kit in my Amazon storefront in my link in bio and give your nails a safer shine! ✨ #NailPolish #BeautyProducts #WomensHealth #KidsHealth #NonToxicLiving

You can look good and be non-toxic - but your choice of makeup could be getting in the way! 💄 Many adult makeup ingredients contain TOXIC ingredients linked to nasty health problems, such as: 👉 Cancer 👉 Weight Gain 👉 Nerve Damage 👉 Infertility 👉 Hormonal Disruption 👉 And MORE! These toxic terrors in your cosmetics SHOULD BE regulated...and they are. 👉 As a win for us, they just overhauled the Cosmetics Regulation Act (legislation that hasn't been revised much in almost 100 years 😳). The downside - is they didn't remove any of the toxic chemicals when they did their legislative overhaul...so there's your tax dollars at work 🤦‍♂️ Across the pond, the EU has regulated over 2,400 toxic chemicals inside cosmetics compared to our 11 👀 - maybe policymakers should to the EU for some inspiration 🧠 So toxic ingredients such as talc, lead, triclosan, mercury orthomerosol, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, toluene, artificial fragrances, and PFAS, or 'forever chemicals,' could potentially all be found in your makeup—and should be AVOIDED if possible! These can be found to varying degrees in waterproof mascaras, concealers, lipsticks, and foundations - and all of them can be absorbed by your skin when you wear them 😮 The Non-Toxic Dad solution: Look for ways to add a more natural and organic approach to your makeup routine, choosing ingredients that benefit your skin and body. I always tell people that they shouldn't put anything on their skin if they can't eat it, and makeup is no exception. Feel free to share this post with someone who spends way too much time and money at Sephora 😏 #makeup #makeuproutine #organicmakeup #biohacking #nontoxicliving

Perfume might smell sweet, but it’s definitely TOXIC!🧴 When chatting with my friend Tammy about non-toxic living tips, I asked her what she thought about perfumes/fragrances (y’all know how I feel about those 😏) - and she had nothing nice to say about them! All perfume is is a concoction of toxic chemicals that smell nice, but work their way into the body and cause immense damage! 👉 They can cause inflammation 👉 They can cause hormonal problems They just aren’t good for a non-toxic life! To make matters worse, these fragrances are EVERYWHERE - hair products, soaps, fabric softeners, candles, air fresheners, and more! These chemical concoctions are basically toxic waste, and we put them on our bodies every day 🤦‍♂️ Your best bet is to 🚮 any sources of fragrance in your home. If you wear anything to smell nice, maybe swap the perfumes for safe essential oils or natural/non-toxic products! #perfumes #fragrances #beautyproducts #beautycare #nontoxicliving @Healthforapurpose
