Okay. So here's a question. Do you ever feel like in the process of maybe trying to lip a little bit cleaner lifestyle or switch some of the products that you use in your home or your personal care routines that it can be really overwhelming.

Do you ever feel like, I don't even know what's actually clean, what works well, like I want something that works well, but it's also like trustworthy and clean, like where do I even begin?

If you feel like that, I hear you. I remember early in my journey, I thought like I was living super clean because I was using this as my soap and then come to find out that's not actually that clean.

And so it can be really hard to navigate because there's such thing as greenwashing. There's a lot of brands who've kind of taken note or become aware that more consumers are more aware and more conscious of what they're buying and what they're putting in their homes and on their bodies.

And so they will like kind of market in a certain way and they'll change their front label like the label in the front of the product to say something like green or plant based or natural or derived from natural ingredients or whatever.

And that can make us assume that it's safer, cleaner, more natural, et cetera. And that's not always the case.

Sometimes they will use those marketing terms, but then if you flip it over and actually read the ingredients in the label, there's still toxic stuff in there, even if they use like essential oils or some sort of like plant based, you know, product or material.

So are ingredients, whatever. So it can be really tough to navigate. And so as I've gone on this journey the last several years, I really kind of learned like, okay, here are some solid trustworthy brands.

And some are the best and some are just better, but at least you can try to be in the better category.

So I thought I would share that with you today, like a handful of my favorite clean brands for really popular things that we use every single day, like deodorant or toothpaste or hair care, things like that.

So anyway, I have a really comprehensive list in my resource called the lifestyle overhaul guide. I'm going to link that in the show notes, because that is like a comprehensive roadmap step by step.

If you want to start swapping things and live a cleaner lifestyle, not just in terms of your products, but also like where you source food and how you budget to live a cleaner healthier, more natural lifestyle, all that kind of stuff.

Like the one stop shop resource, if you want to do some of these lifestyle changes, but just for this episode, I thought I'd pick maybe the top 10 or 12 topics or categories that I can ask about whether that's toothpaste or sunscreen or hair care or whatever.

And just share like here's some of my top rated brands or my top picks that I would trust in terms of how clean they are and if they perform decently well.

So that's what we're going to take into in this episode. If you're ready, buckle up, let's dig in.

You're listening to she with Jordan Lee Dooley, a personal development podcast for the everyday woman. Come invited, leave ignited. Here's your host, Jordan Lee Dooley.

Okay, so I'm just going to cut right to the chase. I'm going to just share some of my favorite swaps. This will be short and sweet, kind of right to the point because that's what you want.

Okay, so for let's see, I'm trying to think what topic to start with first. Let's start with hair care because this isn't, this isn't when I get asked about quite a bit on Facebook or Instagram and social media, etc.

I often share like my favorite makeup and skincare, but there's a couple other brands too that are pretty solid in terms of ingredients. So I'll touch on those two, but I often get asked about hair care. And so I want to share what I recommend in terms of like my favorite hair care brand, but you can do it everyone.

So the first thing I would say is my favorite favorite favorite, at least that I've found both in terms of ingredients and performance for shampoo and conditioner is the botanical therapeutics line from Karina organics.

So Karina organics has a variety of different options. They've actually got some great like non toxic baby care, like baby body soap and stuff like that.

But when it comes to hair care, they have like their normal if they like if you go to their website and you go to like shampoo conditioner, you'll find like white bottles that have like, at least as of now, this could change in their branding in the future.
