Hormone-Safe Products I Actually Use (and Love)

Your trusted guide to clean swaps that protect your hormones, your home, and your peace of mind.

When I first learned what an endocrine disruptor was, I was floored.

These hormone-hijacking chemicals hide in products we use daily—on our skin, in our homes, and even in our underwear drawer.

And here’s the truth: your hormones don’t just affect fertility.
They influence your mood, energy, metabolism, skin, and long-term health.
Every product you touch either supports your hormones or stresses them out.

Over the years, I’ve found products I trust—clean swaps that feel good, work well, and actually simplify life.

Below are my personal, tried-and-tested picks.

What’s Lurking in Your Period Products?

(Hormone-Safe Feminine Care)

Your vaginal tissue is one of the most absorbent parts of your body—meaning anything in your period products goes straight into your bloodstream.

The problem? Conventional tampons, pads, and liners often carry a cocktail of bleach, dyes, and synthetic fragrance you don’t want anywhere near your hormones.

Here’s the good news: safe, effective alternatives exist—and they’re so much better for you. Whether you’re new to low-tox living or just ready for an easy upgrade, these are my go-tos:

Tampons + Pads

Natracare — 100% certified organic cotton, totally chlorine-free, even the wrappers are compostable.

Period Underwear

Innersy — breathable, cotton-based (Oeko-Tex Certified), leakproof, and perfect for light to medium flow days.

Organic Cotton Underwear

Jockey Organic Cotton — basics done right: 95% organic cotton, 5% stretch, and high-rise comfort.

Basal Body Thermometer

Easy@Home — reliable, easy-to-read BBT for cycle tracking.

Wearable Tracking

Oura Ring — high-tech insight into temperature, sleep, and cycle trends.

Your Skincare Has Secrets — Let’s Talk.

(Hormone-Safe Skincare & Beauty)

Your skin isn’t just a barrier—it’s a gateway. Anything you apply can be absorbed straight into your bloodstream, and conventional beauty products often come loaded with chemicals that wreak havoc on your hormones: parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance.

These endocrine disruptors may seem harmless in small doses, but daily use adds up—and your hormones feel it.

The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice beauty or self-care to protect your health.

Makeup + Skincare

Crunchi — luxury performance, zero compromises. Every ingredient is screened for safety.

The Dirty Truth About Household Products

(Hormone-Safe Home Essentials)

Your home should feel safe, not like a chemistry lab in disguise. The sprays under your sink? The suds in your washer? They might smell “fresh,” but many are laced with chemicals that can derail your hormones.

You don’t need a science degree—or a massive budget—to keep your space clean and your endocrine system happy. These are the swaps I swear by:

Laundry + Dishwasher Powder

Molly’s Suds — effective, non-toxic, and earth-friendly.

Household Cleaners

Branch Basics Concentrate — one bottle, endless uses. Safe, simple, and effective.

Toothpaste

Fygg — fluoride-free, microbiome-friendly, and kid-approved. (Get your kids started on this toothpaste! It is designed to feed their oral microbiome so there is no rinsing and spitting involved!)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are hormone-safe products?

Hormone-safe products are made without chemicals known to disrupt your endocrine system—like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance. They support your body’s natural hormone balance instead of working against it.

Why do endocrine disruptors matter?

Because your hormones regulate everything from mood and metabolism to fertility and skin health. Daily exposure to hormone disruptors can throw that balance off over time—but small changes make a big difference.

How can I start switching to hormone-safe products?

Start small. Choose one swap at a time—like your deodorant, foundation, or cleaning spray. The key is awareness and progress, not perfection.

Are all natural or “clean” products hormone-safe?

Not always. The words “natural” and “clean” aren’t regulated, so some brands still sneak in endocrine disruptors. Always check ingredient labels—or use my free guide One Nasty Truth to learn what to avoid.

What are the best hormone-safe swaps to start with?

My personal favorites are deodorant, skincare/make-up, and laundry detergent. These are products touching your skin every day, so changing them gives you the biggest impact on your overall exposure.
