How to Reduce Toxins in Your Skincare Routine

Many mainstream skincare products are loaded with synthetic chemicals—parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and artificial fragrances—that can irritate skin or disrupt hormones over time.

But here’s the good news: creating a cleaner, toxin-free skincare routine doesn’t have to be hard.

At Naturals by Mila, we’re here to help you make simple, empowering swaps using products made with safe, natural, and skin-loving ingredients.

🌸 1. Start by Reading Ingredient Labels

Learning to read skincare labels is your first line of defense.

Look out for these red flags:

Parabens (methyl-, propyl-, etc.)
Sulfates (SLS/SLES)
Synthetic fragrance or parfum
PEGs or formaldehyde releasers

🛍️ All Naturals by Mila products are 100% free of these ingredients.

🧼 2. Replace Your Soap with a Natural Bar

Most commercial soaps are actually detergents that strip your skin’s moisture barrier.

Swap in:

Cold-processed soaps made with olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter
Naturally scented with essential oils
Free from synthetic dyes and preservatives

🛍️ Try this: Turmeric+Honey Soap Bar

🛁 3. Upgrade Your Bath to a Clean Ritual

If you love baths or soaks, avoid products with artificial colors, glitter, and synthetic scents.

Swap in:

Bath soaks with Epsom salt, essential oils, and botanicals
Handmade bath bombs that moisturize and calm, not irritate

🛍️ Try this: Calming Bath Soak

✨ 4. Use Plant-Based Moisturizers

Conventional lotions often contain mineral oil or alcohol-based preservatives that can dehydrate your skin.

Swap in:

Body butters with shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E
Fragrance-free or naturally scented options for sensitive skin

🛍️ Try this: Shea Body Butters

🍃 5. Choose Products in Small Batches

Handcrafted, small-batch products are more likely to contain:

Fewer synthetic preservatives
More natural antioxidants like vitamin E
Fresh ingredients that are closer to their pure, effective state

At Naturals by Mila, we make every product by hand in limited quantities to ensure freshness, purity, and potency.

🌿 Every Small Swap Counts

You don’t have to overhaul your routine overnight. Start with one product—like your soap or moisturizer—and work your way toward a cleaner bathroom cabinet.

Your skin (and your health) will thank you.
