toxin free in 3

Imagine loving the world of fragrance so much, landing your dream job in the industry, only to find it was keeping you sick. For Sada and Amanda, that's exactly what happened.

Luckily, they didn't have to leave their passions in the dust.  The fragrance industry has often been shrouded in mystery. But today, we have a unique opportunity to take a peak behind the curtain.  We're dissecting the ambiguous claims of "safe synthetics," and questioning the effectiveness of self-regulatory bodies like IFRA.

ESAS Beauty's products don't just smell divine, they also last. And in the world of fragrance, where we're always told synthetics are absolutely necessary for long lasting scents, that is huge. I'm so excited to take you behind the scenes so chat with Seda and Amanda about the revolutionary changes they're bringing to the business of fragrance!

Can your fragrance really impact your fertility?  Even if you've already conceived, this episode is an essential listen to understand the fertility impacts that may be passed down.  And it's not just about women – these ingredients affect men's fertility too.. as well as the fertility of your children.

 Elf Cosmetics, Mrs. Meyers, and Bath & Body Works have a dirty little secret hiding in their scents. 

From diethyl phthalates to the tongue-twisting Butylphenyl Methylpropional (also known as lilial), I explain the health impacts of these hidden chemicals. 

I'm spilling the beans on the brands concealing these ingredients and share tips on finding scents that won't compromise your fertility.

So, if you're planning to grow your family or just want to make informed choices about the fragrance you surround yourself with, tune in to this episode.

Because, let's face it, who wouldn't want to smell amazing and breathe easy while doing it? You don't have to give up the joys of smelling amazing to care for your fertility. Let's dive in and crack the fragrance code together! 🌿✨

After exploring the realm of personal fragrances in the previous episode, this week I'm explaining what fragrance allergens are.

With new labeling laws, I've been getting quite a few questions about the list of fragrance allergens that are popping up on American product labels.  So we're breaking down what fragrance allergens really are, why they matter, and whether you should be concerned.

The big picture: America is finally catching up to laws that have been in place in the EU for...almost 25 years.

My science brain is nerding out over a recent study that show how two constituents that are molecularly identical can have different effects on the human body. The difference?  The source of the constituent. Naturally occurring limonene (found in citrus essential oils) isn't as repellent to mosquitos as synthetic limonene. 

In this episode, you'll learn  how to read fragrance allergen labels so that you can take care of your bio-individual body!

I know Black Friday has everyone on a shopping spree, and it seems like toxin-free colognes and perfumes are hot on the list. This episode is sponsored by the hundreds on DMs I got asking about synthetic fragrance. Here's the thing - not all synthetics are bad, and not all-natural ingredients are automatically safe.  So let's unpack that!

Conventional perfumes often hide harmful ingredients, but the lack of transparency makes it hard for consumers to make informed choices.  If you're unaware of why we should be avoiding certain fragrances, check out episode 2 where I do a deep dive on the fragrance industry as a whole.

But today, we're specifically talking about safe synthetics and natural plant-based fragrances. What are the pros and cons to consider when shopping for your colognes and perfumes this holiday season? Tune in so that you can make an informed decision you feel great about! 

In this episode, we chat about: 

• Why lab-made doesn't automatically make ingredients toxic 
• Why transparency is so crucial, especially in the fragrance industry
• The environmental benefits of lab made ingredients 
• The therapeutic benefits of plant-derived fragrances 
• Following the money to find out why it's so difficult to really understand whether a fragrance is toxic or not

What if I told you that your morning cup of joe might be contaminated with mold and mycotoxins? I know, not the best news. But don't fret, I've been on a personal mission to discover coffee brands that prioritize quality and safety, ensuring their beans are tested for mold, pesticide, and mycotoxins.

My morning coffee is extremely important to me. So it took me a long time to arrive at a place where I felt like I had the capacity for this change. This is a great example of taking it slow and taking the least complicated next step. If switching out coffee brands is too much for you right now, save this episode for later!

I've taken taste and cost into account. Because let's be real, if I’m not willing to pay for, a lot of you won't be either.  Tune in to find out more about my flavorful discoveries and how this can potentially transform your coffee-drinking experience.

On the journey to a healthier coffee-drinking habit, I've come across brands like Four Sigmatic, Top Shelf Grind, Bulletproof, Purity, Life Boost and Fabula, which have shown incredible commitment in changing the conversation around coffee sourcing and pesticides.

You can find them all in my Amazon Shop.
