Transitioning to a Non-toxic Home in 2020

non-toxic deodorant, clean beauty

Sophie Jaffe, founder and CEO of Philosophie, (and Type:A superfan) is back again to tell us about how she started the new decade off by moving to a non-toxic home, starting with her switch from antiperspirant to a clean deodorant (yours truly!).

Last year, I manifested my dream home and you can read all about THAT journey on my blog and find the big reveal on my YouTube Channel. This year is all about creating the ultimate space of comfort, expansion, and inspiration in this gorgeous home but most importantly, making it clean and toxin-free. 

The task of moving to an entirely non-toxic home can seem daunting with countless hours of research but it doesn’t have to be. Not if you start small and work with the flow of your life in order to make the transition. Begin with prioritizing important areas to begin making the switch and our bodies is most definitely #1. 

Why non-toxic and clean goods?

As a mindful mama of 3, I care SO much about what goes on my littles’ bodies as well as my own. Clean, non-toxic beauty and skincare products enhance the natural makeup of our body and EMBRACE our natural beauty. 

Everything we interact with on a daily basis can contain toxins that have been shown to affect hormone imbalance, gut issues, and immune dysfunction - to name a few. While our bodies are designed to detox and remove harmful toxins (hello, sickness!), too much exposure can outweigh our body’s capabilities especially if you’re stressed, tired, not getting the right nutrients and so on. 

That’s why we choose safe, non-toxic products wherever and whenever we can. 

I’ve partnered with Type:A deodorant in helping to make the switch to clean, aluminum-free deodorant instead of antiperspirant and you can read more about the why behind this particular switch in this article.

Making the switch as a family

I’ve been using Type:A deodorant (they have 5 great scents + 1 unscented and recently released wipes too!) every day for 6 months now and the difference in my entire body is notable and I’m so in love. It’s aluminum free and entirely non-toxic. It’s also sweat-activated meaning the more you sweat the harder it works to protect against odor. It feels so good and soft going on and I’ve been raving about it so much that Adi made the switch too! Eventually, we’ll get the kiddos + anyone else we love + connect with to make the switch! 

Products like this coupled with using our Liquid Sunshine Chlorophyll Drops at least once a day has made a HUGE difference in helping my internal body odor. I feel better, I smell better and my hubby does too!

Making positive changes like this is a beautiful way to head into the new year. I’m so excited that Type:A has recently launched in Target and have continued their expansion in this way. Anyone can now easily purchase non-toxic and aluminum-free deodorants and begin making their own switch to a nontoxic home. I LOVE seeing the brands I’ve loved and supported for years making huge leaps like this and getting in front of many. This is how we make huge impacts on society. We start small.
