✨ Why Your Skincare Routine Doesn’t Need 10 Steps
Let’s be honest. The multi-step skincare craze didn’t come from nature—it came from marketing. More steps mean more products sold, more confusion created, and more people chasing flawless skin through trial and error.
What Happens When You Stop Using Toxic Ingredients?
If you’ve been using conventional skincare full of sulfates, synthetic fragrance, silicones, or preservatives, your skin is used to being stripped, coated, or forced into quick fixes.
In the first few days of switching to natural products, your skin might seem a little confused.

🌿 The Benefits of Switching to Plant-Powered Skincare
When it comes to skincare, the choices you make matter—not just for your complexion, but for your overall wellness and the environment.

In this article we break down the trends and show you how to look passed marketing to make informed decisions for you and your family.
From Plastic Bottles to Bars: Why I Made the Switch
Recent research shows that microplastics have been found in human tissue, including the brain, ovaries, and arteries—raising major concerns about our long-term health. Switching to bars was about more than products. It was about being more intentional--taking a moment to think about what I'm using and why.
✈️ 5 Ways to Travel Plastic-Free with Bar Products
Whether you're heading out on a weekend getaway or a long-haul adventure, traveling with vegan, toxin-free, bar-based bath and body products is one of the easiest ways to care for your body and the planet. Let’s break down 5 simple ways to go plastic-free on the road—and why it’s time to say goodbye to those hotel minis once and for all.
In the beginning...
I've always had a passion for plants and a desire to protect the environment. It was compounded in 2012 when my sister with Multiple Sclerosis brought me a book that started me on a vegan journey. The research I did took me from diet-related illness to herbal medicine. It didn't take me long to conclude that the chemicals and toxins we are surrounded by each day are more detrimental to our health than we know. I made it my personal mission to avoid as many chemicals as I could. Of course, the first thing I looked at after what I put in my mouth was what I put on my skin. What I was looking for was not on the market at the time so I had to resort to making my own personal care products. At first, I missed the strongly-scented perfumes and the unnaturally creamy lotions, but soon I began noticing my hair was stronger and my skin was brighter. Now, after almost a decade of good health and more requests than I can count, I am able to bring those products to the people searching for them in a clean, low-waste, sustainable way.
The Balance name has been important to me because life is a balance. It would be impossible to live completely chemical-free or eat only the healthiest of foods, and let's be honest, it wouldn't be any fun either... but if you can replace just one chemical with a plant-derived, good-for-you ingredient then you are already living better.
I hope you love our products as much as I do. Cheers, to living your best life!
