As the leaves turn and we prepare for the colder months ahead, it’s the perfect time to hit refresh — not just on your wardrobe or routine, but on the products you use every single day. If you’re just starting your non-toxic lifestyle journey, this fall is the ideal season to begin creating a healthier, safer home.
From the personal care products we apply to our bodies to the laundry detergents we use on our clothes, the truth is that many conventional items are filled with harmful ingredients linked to hormone disruption, allergies, and even long-term health risks. Fortunately, there’s a better way.
Here are Pure Haven’s 5 top must-swaps to reduce your toxic load this season:
1. Ditch Conventional Deodorant
Many store-bought deodorants contain aluminum, parabens, and synthetic fragrances that can be absorbed directly through your skin.
A better way: Choose non-toxic deodorant that’s free from aluminum and artificial fragrance. Pure Haven’s formula uses natural ingredients like arrowroot powder, baking soda (or a baking soda-free option with potato starch for those sensitive to baking soda), and essential oils to keep you fresh without harmful side effects.
Fall tip: Try transitioning from florals to a warm, cozy scent like orange bergamot.
2. Upgrade Your Laundry Detergent
Laundry products can leave behind residues on your clothes and bedding — things you’re in contact with 24/7. Most conventional detergents include sulfates, optical brighteners, and fragrance.
A better way: Pure Haven’s non-toxic laundry detergent is made with plant-based ingredients and contains no synthetic chemicals, making it safe for you, your family, and the planet.
Fall tip: Use wool dryer balls with a few drops of essential oil (like cedarwood or sweet orange) to add a naturally comforting scent to your laundry.
3. Rethink Your Shampoo & Conditioner
Ingredients like sulfates, silicones, and phthalates found in many hair products can irritate your scalp, disrupt hormones, and build up over time.
A better way: Pure Haven’s variety of shampoos and conditioners are crafted without harsh foaming agents or synthetic preservatives. They gently cleanse while supporting scalp health and shine — naturally.
Fall tip: As the weather cools and your scalp gets drier, Pure Haven’s supergreens scalp treatment can help.
4. Clean Up Your Makeup Routine
Makeup often contains heavy metals, synthetic dyes, and preservatives like parabens that can enter your bloodstream through daily wear.
A better way: Switch to non-toxic makeup that’s just as effective, but made with safe, plant-based pigments and nourishing oils. Pure Haven’s makeup collection is formulated with no known carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, or allergens.
Fall tip: Earthy autumn hues match the season naturally and beautifully and all-in-one formulas help keep your makeup routine simple.
5. Simplify Your Skin Care
Skin is your largest organ, and what you put on it matters. Many skin care products, especially anti-aging or acne-fighting ones, contain questionable ingredients like formaldehyde releasers and petroleum byproducts.
A better way: Pure Haven’s skin care collection offers truly clean alternatives that work with your skin, not against it. Our cleansers, moisturizers, and serums are made with organic botanicals and zero synthetic fillers.
Fall tip: Add moisturizing serums to your daytime routine and rich overnight moisturizer to your nighttime routine to combat dry, chilly air and keep your skin barrier strong and healthy.
