4 Tips for Making the Swap to Natural Products Easier
If you are new to natural, you may struggle to swap out some of your favorite conventional products. Maybe you’re unsure if natural alternatives perform the same or if you’ll achieve inferior results, which is understandable—when you find something that works, why change it? If your products compromise your health and well-being, that’s an excellent reason to change. Fortunately, going ‘au natural’ is only getting more accessible as the demand for natural products grows exponentially as consumers demand better, safer options.

Start Slowly
Ease into the swap to avoid overwhelming yourself. Baby steps lead to significant changes in time. Start with one thing and build on that, like switching to a non-toxic natural dry shampoo instead of your go-to conventional dry shampoo. Have fun discovering new ingredients and educating yourself on the benefits. Regarding dry shampoo, look for one containing kaolin clay and organic arrowroot powder, as they absorb moisture while adding texture. Organic essential oils like lavender, grapefruit, and peppermint are added touches, as they provide natural cleansing properties while also providing a soothing sensation on your scalp and not to mention a delicious scent! You can even find natural dry shampoo formulated for light locks or dark locks.
Most importantly, remember your reasons and use them as motivation for switching to natural, non-toxic products.
Make the Easiest Swaps First
Make simple swaps first, like opting for a natural deodorant. Conventional deodorants often contain toxins like aluminum, parabens, fragrance, triclosan, talc, propylene glycol, and more. Look for a natural, non-toxic deodorant containing natural, safe ingredients like a small amount of baking soda to keep you smelling naturally fresh even after a workout.
In addition to baking soda, consider a natural deodorant crafted with natural ingredients like fair-trade coconut oil, arrowroot powder, kaolin clay, and essential oils that support the health of your hormones, nervous system, immunity, and mindset.
Focus on Products that Make an Impact
Focus on natural products that make the most impact, like body care, because it covers the most surface area of the body. Find a clean baby soap bar the entire family can use, natural hand soaps for your bathrooms and kitchen, and natural body oil. Body oils are a perfect way to incorporate natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatories into your daily skin regimen.
What’s better than one body oil? Multiple body oils! Since you’re making a significant swap, why not purchase numerous body oils that benefit your skin differently? For example, blue tansy body oil is a must-have as it’s one of the most potent anti-inflammatory oils available, making it ideal for treating inflamed, irritated skin. Lemongrass is also anti-inflammatory but is known for providing mood-boosting and uplifting properties. Jasmine is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin against environmental stressors and reduces the appearance of aging. Jasmine also contains an irresistibly sweet floral scent that appeals to the senses with its soothing, calming vibe.
Expect Trial and Error
Expect a bit of a learning curve or trial-and-error process until you find what works best for your unique body chemistry. What works for your best friend may not work for you. Read ingredient lists to discover what your body responds best or least to. This is another reason to start slowly—it’s easier to pinpoint what is working and what isn’t, especially when you suddenly switch up your entire routine.
