What’s Hiding in Your Favorite Chapstick!? by theorganicbunny on November 29, 2016October 1, 2019 You know what it is, it’s Swap It Out Sunday which means today I will be encouraging everyone to take a closer look at their beauty routine, hopefully eliminating at least one bad guy from the bunch! Because this can be an overwhelming task, I find it works best to eliminate things one by one, once a week. Today’s topic? Chapstick! Because the seasons are changing and our lips are becoming dryer than ever, it’s easy to want to reach out for your favorite chapstick and slather your lips in some moisturizing ingredients. However, did you know that most conventional chapsticks found in drug stores or from promotional freebies are full of toxic ingredients with links to cancer, hormone disruptions, brain development, allergic reactions and more? Check out what is in this Blistex Complete Moisture chapstick! Octinoxate– This is a known and studied endocrine disruptor, shown to disrupt the endocrine, hormone, and thyroid with links to breast cancer. Oxybenzone– Known as Benzophenone-3, this helps other ingredients deeply penetrate into the skin with links to cancer. Butylparaben– A preservative toxic to reproduction with links to hormone disruptions and cancer. Ethylparaben– Another preservative with links to endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Methylparaben– Another preservative that has been found in breast tumors. Propylparaben– Another preservative that shows up in breast tumors with links to possible endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Petrolatum– This is mineral oil which can cause itchiness, irritations, and allergic reactions, possibly contaminated with carcinogens depending on the source. Sodium Borate– This has links to respiratory and skin irritations with possible fertility-damaging risks. As you can see, all of the above is anything but clean or healthy for our lips. Why use a product full of so many synthetics, artificial flavors, carcinogens, and irritants when there are endless safer swaps to try instead!? Safer Chapsticks To Try Instead- Osmia Organics Honey Myrrh Lip Repair– $22 Osmia Organics Lip Doctor– $12 Henne Organics Luxury Lip Balm– $22 Kiss Me Honey Lip Balm Trio– $15 Malaya Organics Lavender Lip Savior– $12 Pogo Lip Balms– $4 Laguna Herbals Lip Balm w/ SPF– $3.75 100% Pure Lip Balms– $6 100% Pure Lip Butters– $12 All of the above chapsticks, lip balms + butters are the very best I’ve found. All of them apply smoothly, last forever and are entirely free of all possible bad guys!

Organic Aromas Essential Oil Diffusers by theorganicbunny on September 22, 2016April 5, 2021 As you know by now, essential oil diffusers are nothing new, however, most are made with toxic plastic and heat up the oils, which is why I was never a fan of using them before. I came across these handmade, glass Organic Aromas diffuses, and because they use no plastic, heat, or water, I had to try them out! I ordered the Raindrop Diffuser, which silently nebulizes the oils to allow for the most complete, effective, and reliable dispersion on the market. I also liked this model because you can adjust how much oil is diffused, making sure you’re always getting the amount that works best for you. Because it’s sort of confusing, I wanted to outline exactly why the Organic Aroma diffuser was my choice for defusing! Read More

Even Gisele Skips Toxic Sunscreens by theorganicbunny on May 10, 2016April 10, 2019 I love that more and more influential women like Gisele are speaking out about how toxic conventional sunscreens are. Back in 2011 Gisele publicly spoke out saying “I cannot put this poison on my skin, I do not use anything synthetic.” Her tips for safer sun protection? She avoids the sun during peak times and instead opts for heading outside earlier or later in the days. So, what’s the deal with sunscreens? Well, most contain Oxybenzone, a hormone-disrupting chemical that can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream where it’s shown to attack DNA cells. Many even contribute this chemical to the rise of Melanoma, yes that’s right SUNSCREEN may cause cancers more than the actual sun! Oxybenzone also comes with links to breast cancer, eczema, allergic reactions and more. For the full article on chemical-based sunscreen risks, click here. If you have to go out in the sun, here are some tips! Avoid peak hours, head outside earlier or later in your day. Wear a large hat, and loose clothing to protect your skin when outside. If you still need sunscreen, choose a safer brand like Raw Elements USA that is Organic, Non-Nano mineral based and super clean, they even have tinted ones to avoid white streaks! Code organicbunny saves $$ too! Re-apply your sunscreen after getting wet, sweating, or just after 2 hours or so of being outside. 1 application of sunscreen never equals all day protection. These are such important tips, please share these with your friends before Summer hits! Read More
