Kelly's Top 3 Natural and Nontoxic Beauty lines for a Clean and Healthy 2024
Happy 2024! I'm buzzing with excitement to share my personal favorites for this year.
Why Nontoxic and Natural Products?
Welcome to a journey of discovery and health, where I'll unveil my top 3 clean haircare brand picks that are as kind to your scalp as they are to the environment.
Our skin, the largest organ in our body, acts like a responsive canvas, absorbing much of what we apply to it.
This includes our haircare products, which often come in direct contact with our scalp.
A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair, but when exposed to harmful chemicals, it can lead to a range of issues - from minor irritations to more serious health concerns.
One of the critical aspects we often overlook in haircare products is the presence of carcinogens. These are substances capable of causing cancer in living tissue.
Imagine, substances that can alter cellular structures, lurking in your shampoo bottle! Another alarming factor is hormone disruptors.
These are chemicals that can interfere with our endocrine system, leading to a myriad of health issues, including reproductive problems, developmental delays in children, and even increased cancer risk.
Regular use of products containing such elements can have a cumulative effect on our health. That's why the shift towards clean haircare is not just a trend; it's a necessity.
In the following list, I've carefully curated brands that understand the importance of clean, conscious haircare. These brands not only exclude harmful chemicals but also champion the cause of holistic health. You'll notice the absence of notorious chemicals like sulfates, parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrances, among others.
Stay tuned as I dive into each of these brands, highlighting why they stand out in the clean beauty arena and how they contribute to both scalp health and overall well-being.
Let's embark on this clean journey together, one where our choices lead to healthier hair and a healthier planet.
Here are my TOP PICKS to transform your haircare routine:

3. O&M (Original & Minerals)O&M product formulas replace harsh chemicals with active natural extracts and minerals, including native Australian ingredients like Lilly Pilly, Banksia Flower, Quandong, Tasmanian Sea Kelp and Davidson Plum, as well as quality essential oils that deliver real benefits.
O&M is passionate about natural products, wellbeing and beauty, and when they saw firsthand how harsh chemical products harm hairdressers and clients, They knew they could make a difference with O&M.
“My former partner, a hairdresser, suffered from contact dermatitis, making it impossible for him to use conventional hair colour. Together, we opened the first ammonia-free salon in Australia nearly two decades ago. It attracted a progressive clientele and gave me the confidence to take the O&M vision further.”
O&M’s care and styling line. Packaged luxuriously, have a Free From Five formulation – no harmful sulphates, parabens, propylene glycol, MIT or Triclosan.
Certified by PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) as Cruelty Free, the O&M line with high-performing natural ingredients sits on the shelves of top salons and boutique retailers around the world.
