Why Low-Tox Products Matter

5 Ingredients to Avoid for Healthy Hair & Skin

Did you know that what you put on your body can be just as important as what you put in it? Many conventional hair and skincare products are loaded with environmental toxins that can build up over time and impact your scalp, skin, and even your hormones.

Here are some of the biggest offenders you’ll see on ingredient labels:

  • Parabens – synthetic preservatives linked to hormone disruption.

  • Phthalates – commonly used in fragrances, but can mess with your endocrine system.

  • Silicones & Waxes – coat your hair and skin, creating buildup and suffocating your scalp.

  • Sulfates – harsh detergents that strip natural oils, leaving dryness and irritation behind.

When we switch to cleaner, low-tox products, we’re not only protecting our health long-term, but also creating an environment for stronger hair growth and healthier skin.

That’s why I love MONAT - their products are formulated without these harsh chemicals, using naturally-based ingredients that actually nourish instead of strip or suffocate. It’s a low-tox option I can feel confident using for myself and my family.

If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, this is your reminder that your scalp and skin deserve better.
