We took the boys to the park today, and even though the clouds and wind haven’t gotten the memo that summer’s on its way, the water parks were open and the ice cream stands were serving! We may have packed along our sweaters while eating our cones, but it’s only a matter of time before that hot summer sun is here to stay.
And when it comes, you’ll want to be skin ready.
For years, I never thought twice about what was in my body wash, lotion, or sunscreen. I just grabbed whatever was cheapest or smelled nice at the drugstore. But after becoming a mom and dealing with my son’s asthma and eczema, and my own postpartum depression, anxiety, and hormonal chaos, I started paying more attention. And what I found honestly shocked me.
Our skin is our body’s largest organ, and what we put on it doesn’t just sit on the surface—it gets absorbed. Many common skincare and sunscreen products are packed with toxic ingredients that can harm our health and our hormones over time.
What’s Really In Drugstore Skincare & Sunscreen?
Here are a few red flags to look out for:
- Oxybenzone & Octinoxate – Common in chemical sunscreens, these are hormone disruptors and banned in several countries due to health and environmental risks. Many countries have banned these ingredients because of these reasons. A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about why these two ingredients are something you need to watch out for and avoid.
- Fragrance/Parfum – A “catch-all” for hundreds of hidden chemicals, many of which are linked to reproductive toxicity and asthma.
- Parabens – Preservatives that mimic estrogen in the body and have been detected in breast cancer tumors.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) – Harsh foaming agents that irritate the skin and can contain carcinogenic by-products.
- Petroleum & Mineral Oil – Crude oil by-products that clog pores and block your skin from detoxing properly.
When I learned this, I stopped seeing these products as “convenient” and started seeing them as risky. And I couldn’t justify using them on myself, or especially on my kids, any longer.
Why I’m Choosing Arbonne
I didn’t just want clean products… wanted products that worked and came from a company I could trust. That’s why I chose Arbonne.
Here’s what makes them different:
- Ingredient-Conscious & Science-Backed: Arbonne bans over 2,000 ingredients (far beyond US & Canadian regulations). Every product goes through third-party testing and is designed to support long-term health—not just provide a quick fix.
- Sustainability & Ethics First: From sourcing to packaging, Arbonne prioritizes sustainability and clean harvesting. They are a certified B Corporation, which means they meet the highest global standards for social and environmental responsibility.
- Profits That Prioritize People: Instead of paying celebrities or mass-producing cheap products, Arbonne invests in product research, clean innovation, and responsible practices that actually protect your body and the planet.
Where You Spend Your Money Matters
Let’s be honest… every time we shop, we’re casting a vote. Supporting companies that cut corners for profit (at the expense of our health) only reinforces a broken system.
When you shop through my Arbonne link, you’re helping me buy groceries for my family and enrol my boys in their favourite sports. You’re supporting a mom with a purpose and a mission to raise her kids in a healthier home and be a healthier mom. You are helping a local family stress less about the dollars that leave their home (all too common in this economy).
Every order matters more than you know.
