Non Toxic Swaps
30
items I have been working on going non toxic as soon as I found I was pregnant with our first child 20 years ago. Now it seems we also have to worry about constant recalls! These are products I have actually used and trust. And trust me, in 20 years, I have tried most all of them!
Pronounce has become the only soap I now use. With 5 kids, trust me, I've tried them all, and this is the only natural soap I have tried that actually gets clothes clean! If you are new to TT shop, they will have coupons for you to use!
I actually bought this, and did not request a free sample through my affiliate shop, because I wanted to see if it really worked. This has been the only #natural #nontoxic soap that has gotten that special teenage funk out of sports uniforms #iykyk I have tried every single natural soap that's available and have been disappointed by them all. I even went back to commercial soap just for uniforms. Just for reference I also cloth diapered our kids when they were babies and swore by Charlie's but it just didn't touch the sports smell. If you are tired of finding out one more product is being recalled or is bad for us - try this. I am so grateful for you @Pronounce #soap #nontoxicliving #nontoxicbeauty #nontoxicswap #natural #eco #ecofriendly #recall #toxic #momlife #dadlife #tt #fyp #fy #fypシ #trustme #healing #skin #health #healthy #healthyliving #heal #bjj #jiujitsu #gracie #sportsmom #soccer #futbol #football #highschool #teenager #healthy
