Plaine Products has been exploring partnerships with holistic practitioners since our products are hypoallergenic and toxic free! Here at Plaine Products, we are passionate about the environment but we are also passionate about the products we use on our bodies. The average person is exposed to millions of toxins daily which can be devastating to our physical and mental health. For this reason, ALL of our products and packaging are toxic free! Our products are not only safer for people but for animals, and the environment.
In June, we had the opportunity to participate in the Holistic Health Summit in Dayton, OH and we jumped at the chance! We got to showcase our products and talk to a lot of great people about the benefits of our ingredients.
Why non-toxic ingredient are important to personal care
We first had to explain that harsh chemicals used in many popular personal care products can cause many vague symptoms from digestive problems to hormone imbalances, fatigue, muscle aches, mood swings, and skin conditions. Here are just a few examples of chemicals commonly found in personal care products that are known to be harmful:

- Parabens and phthalates are linked to hormone disruption and cancer.
- Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are known carcinogens and can cause skin irritation.
- Fragrance is a term used by companies to hide a variety of potentially harmful chemicals such as phthalates, benzophenone, BHA, and naphthalene. These chemicals can trigger skin allergies, eczema, asthma, and hormonal disruptions.
- PFAs have been linked to cancer and can disrupt the immune system.
- Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) are preservatives that can cause lung toxicity, allergic reactions and possible neurotoxicity.
Scary, right? Right!
This is why we are so proud that our products are free of ALL of those things. While everyone is different and skin conditions can be caused from a variety of issues, our customers have had a lot of success with our products. We have both a fragrance free line and products blended with whole essential oils. The main ingredient in all of our products is aloe, as opposed to water as in most personal care products. Aloe vera has the following healing properties:
- Compounds that suppress inflammation
- Helps to hydrate the skin
- Is antibacterial
- Contains salicylic acid, an exfoliant that helps to unclog pores
- Is an antiseptic, containing six agents known to help inhibit fungi, bacteria, and viruses, including salicylic acid, phenols, and sulfur
And aloe is just our first ingredient! Learn more about the healing properties of our ingredients here.
Non-toxic, Good for you and the Planet
If toxic free products are better for us, it makes sense that they are better for the environment as they reduce the number of potentially harmful chemicals released into the air and waterways. Our products are biodegradable and made from renewable resources. They break down easily and don’t harm the environment, making them a better choice.
Overwhelmed?! Don’t be! The goal is not to avoid toxins entirely but to reduce exposure where we can. That way, when you are exposed to toxins, your body is equipped to handle them. It’s not necessary to overhaul your entire life all at once. Let us help you take the first step!
