The Best & Worst Personal Care Products! 

To keep your skin healthy, what worked for me: In the morning, start by properly cleansing your face. Choose a mild, gentle face wash such as the riceberry facewash from littleexttra and then apply moisturizer to your face. Riceberry has antioxidants which protects my skin from free radicals and thus prevents aging. Avoid overwashing your face. Limit washing to once in the morning and once before bedtime. Ensure to moisturize your face throughout the day. And don't forget sunscreen even when you are at home. Dry skin exposed to the sun can lead to white patches on the skin. Thus, it's essential to prevent dry skin and protect it from harsh sun exposure.

I really appreciate your videos! I am 28 years old and only in the past three years have I begun to discover just how bad some of the products I've been using my whole life are for me. I love how you briefly explain WHY we don't want these ingredients in our products and you don't just tear through the products and rip them apart without explanation. I love that you can offer alternatives that aren't ridiculously priced so people feel like they have to spend hundreds of dollars cleaning up their bathroom of all the poison. Thank you for all that you do!

Bobby, PLEASE, ask your wife to share her skincare routine and products! Help us ladies out with what’s good for face/body care and make up!

Thank you so much for letting us know all of this! So appreciated! One thing. I was taught in beauty school that dandruff and dry scalp are different, dry scalp is dry skin, looks like skin flakes. Dandruff is different, it looks like white sugar and not sure they have a cure yet. Do not use medicated shampoo on dry scalp as it will dry it out even more. I tell all my customers this and so far it has helped them. Also wear a hoodie to the movies and don’t put your head on the seats as dandruff is supposed to be contagious

I would LOVE if you did a video about women’s facial products! We use those morning and night so it would be nice to know which brands are the cleanest! Thank you for all the work you do into making these videos, I’ve learned so much from you and it has inspired me to eat clean and be conscious of the products I use!☺️✌🏼

I use dr bronners bar soap and peppermint toothpaste but for my deodorant I use bobs red mill organic baking soda thanks for all your help bobby I'm down atleast 15 pounds just by changing my diet and using real ingredients for everything I put on my body

Bro, I love you videos and the fact you write in the description the items your talking about. It makes it so much easier to follow you and understand why the product is good. You know your stuff and I am so happy I found you. I listened to 3 other videos before yours and yours is the easiest to understand and most informative. Skin is just the start for my goals this year. I am glad I found you.

Tom's was bought out by one of the big companies, P&G I think years ago. Same with Mrs. Meyers for cleaning supplies. So sad that what was once good is now bad. :(

The very best thing you can do for your hair - especially if you color your hair - is to buy sulfate-free shampoo!! It won't make the suds that people think they need to feel clean, but it also won't strip your scalp & all that expensive color out of your hair! (I do mine myself) But as a lifelong redhead, this has made all the difference! I've only used sulfate-free shampoos now for close to 10 years & I only have to color grow out, I don't have faded color anymore. And let's be honest, vanity will always win out over health - but sometimes you can both!

Have you seen the documentary “Stink”? It’s basically about how the ingredient “Fragrance” is like the natural and artificial flavors of food. Would love to get your opinion on that!

Bar soap. I agree. Waste of money for liquid AND unnecessary plastic waste with the bottles!

Garnier products makes my skin itch so bad. I stopped using it years ago. So grateful for the hair and skin care that I use that is super clean, rate zero to one on Think Dirty. Looks like I'll be changing away from Tom's toothpaste. I just started using Schmidt lime and bergamot and I love it. Your content is wonderful. Keep the info flowing!

So glad you did this one Bobby! The most economical choice for deodorant will be rock salt. It lasts me over a year and I put on 15 swipes in the morning. It's amazing and all natural. I would caution anyone to use very little of the dr. bronners on your skin. I made the mistake of using way too much and it gave me painful cystic acne that took a prescription to end. I love dr. bronners just use with caution and don't use on face.

I would love to hear more about personal products including vitamins, supplements, etc. I appreciate your insights so much!

Yes pls upload more videos about face creams, facial cleansers , eye creams, face sprays and everything that women put on their face. Also please go thru vitamins and supplements in Whole Foods. Thanks a bunch

One note, for some the Dr. Bronner's soap may be too drying because it has a really high ph while skin tends to have a ph that is much lower and leans towards the acidic side. So when looking for products to clean your face or hair having a product with a ph that is balanced in the right range can be important. Good video though, you are always helpful on making people more aware about the ingredients in the products they are using!

Hi I am cancer survivor and I bought acure shampoo and conditioner and I loved it! Smells good and does clean you your hair well to thank you Bobby 😊

So appreciative that you’re doing more “non-food” videos because I get so confused on the big, 20+ letter ingredients inside these products. My pantry & fridge is now full of the best-in-class ingredients… but we definitely need your help with more health & body products! Thanks!

I don't know if you realized this but... you don't "approve" Everyone 3 in 1 soap because it contains phenoxyethanol at the bottom of the ingredient deck but then a few minutes later you highly recommend the Bull Dog shaving gel that has phenoxyethanol toward the top of their ingredient deck.

Could you do more videos like this but at more common stores? Like Walmart , target and even dollar general would be cool?

Thank you Bobby for all that you do, you truly save lives.

Yes, I have used Dr. BRONNERS for years and The African-American soap you mentioned. Then I just use virgin Coconut oil for hair and skin. Great vlog. Thanks for all you do.

Yes please continue part 2 of personal care watching your videos have so much improved my life I love to learn all the things you teach God bless you and your family please keep doing what your doing it’s changing lives 👍👍💯🦋🦋🦋

PLEASE do a video on facial products. Day cream, Night cream, eye cream & body lotion. Plus MAKE UP!! Thank you for your hard work! 💗

Yes please ask Desi to share her skin care routine on a video with suggestions

'Yes' to more personal items and supplements videos! Thanks, Bobby🥰

I'm glad you brought up sunscreen Bobby. I learned something from Dr David Williams at healthy directions, absolutely years ago, and he said that sunscreens can cause skin cancer which is what they're supposed to prevent. His recommendation is vitamin C powder mixed with any lotion that you use on your whole body, and use that blended together on your whole body. I tried it out it worked amazing in 90° weather with me walking to Walmart which was miles from where I was staying. And it did prevent a sunburn 👌😲 so it does work, and prevents skin cancer as long as your lotion you're using is clean.

Very good video Bobby thank you! It would be great if you would point out that one of the reasons NOT to use body wash is to not use so many plastic bottles! We all did great with bar soap for centuries! Every bit of plastic we can refuse to use will help the planet.

We appreciate you out there doing the research for us!

I saw someone using your app in Costco yesterday :) I love seeing people "waking up" and dumping bad food and chemicals. Personally, my favorite deodorant is Little Seed Farm - plastic free and works awesome!

Really appreciate all your personal care vidoes. I just switched up my entire shower, skin care, and oral care products because of your videos, but would love more!

Yes do supplements & other products please!

I appreciate these videos no matter what. helps me know what our leaders are allowing into our products.

I've been binge-watching your videos, and I'm hooked. Thank you for all of this great information. Like other women with sensitive skin and scalp, I would love to have one go-to shampoo, one conditioner, and one oil or lotion to use after bathing. My body skin has always been super-dry. Thanks!

Wow is like you read my mind! I was gonna ask for Dessi to make a video on what personal care items she uses as a woman for her face. (Face wash, moisturizer, any anti aging cream)

Continue the series please. Also, make a video on skincare creams from anti-aging to collagen to serums..please.

Thank you, Bobby. This video is great. Things beyond food are also important. Yes, follow-up would be great.

According to the abstract of "Safety of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in cosmetics " written on pubmed in November 2019. Nano titanium in concentrations UPTO and below 25% does not "nano-TiO2 did not penetrate beyond the outer layers of stratum corneum to viable cells and did not reach the general circulation, either in healthy or in compromised skin" however this same abstract warns against the safety of this product being inhaled (ex: fragrances, sprays, powders) and this should even be safe in product's you may slightly digest such as a lip balm. The same abstract quotes "After oral exposure, nano-TiO2 absorption and toxicity are limited. The incidental oral exposure to nano-TiO2 contained in lip balms is thus not expected to induce adverse health effects." Study's also unanimously show Parabens to be safe in skin care products. This guy gives some good information but don't take it like the gospel like some do, and every time he mentions a new chemical I recommend you pause and start to google that.

Yes, I would like it if you did more on personal care. I learned a lot from this video & will change some of my current products. Thanks again Bobby!!

I use Dr. Bronner’s bar soap as a shampoo and it the best. No more split ends and my hair color is back! Plus it’s affordable. 💕

Bobby, please do another Summer video series of reviewing fast food restaurants! I loved that last year! Thank you for your hard work and great info!

Yes. A follow up would be cool. What about tea? What are the best brands and flavors?

Thank you. I’d love to know more about products in this category.

Thanks for the info on skincare. It’s very helpful pointing out the ingredients to watch out for. I would love a video on supplements!

Definitely want another video of body care products. Super job today Bobby Thank you!!

Love update on vitamins you find. Also, more on personal care! I like hearing about ingredients in anything!! Mad ❤️

Next video ideas; Supplement review? YESS. Facial/skin care daily products? YESS. Give it to us Bobby give the people what they wantttt.

Definitely want a deep dive on the best/safe lotions to use.

Yes, Bobby, please do a supplement video. Thank you!

I don't use bar soap; it leaves a mess and you have to rub it a lot more than liquid. I use Dr Bronner's spearmint liquid soap for body wash and hair, super simple ingredients and it doesn't over dry my hair or skin. Also it lathers and washes off easily. FYI, as a chocoloholic I didn't like Dr Bronner's chocolate.

SLS is so horrible and it's lurking in so many seemingly "good" products! I learned about how bad it can be with my oldest son, it caused horrible mouth sores, so I've been using SLS free toothpastes since he was a toddler and he's 13 now. My youngest is allergic to three preservatives found in almost everything, even some Dr. Bronner's products have them! We are so restricted on everything we use and even some of the best scoring products have preservatives that can be allergenic. You really have to be diligent about reading labels and understanding those sneaky terms companies use for things that slip past the radar of the every day consumer.

I was hoping to find out about mousse for hair care …. ❤your info for our health . Keep up the great work .

This video was so helpful! Ty!! Would be cool to see a video of how you get ready for the day. What products you use and how you use them. ☺️

Thank you so much all your research I really appreciate all your work. Could you PLEASE research make-up, toners, cleanser, primers and moisturizers 😊 thank you sooooo much!

A part 2 personal care video would be great , maybe even a recommended list . I’m from UK/EU so not all suggestions you give are available.

As a skincare formulator, potassium sorbate and benzyl alcohol are actually food grade and more natural in skincare. The gold standard in preservatives right now would be pine extracts and radish root ferment filtrate. Also look for self preserving products!

Just a quick note regarding SLS - if you decide to use an SLS-free shampoo, be careful to not use a conditioner or any styling products that contain silicones. SLS removes silicones and if you’re not removing the silicones properly, you may notice a build-up of product after a while. I also love Dr Bronners but be aware that it’s very drying. I can’t use any of the bar soaps or liquid soap on my skin for this reason. Great to clean the bathroom with though!

I tend to use more liquid body cleanser than a bar ....because it doesn't dirty the bath tub too much

YES PLEASE do a supplement video and more of this.!! 🙌🏼

Thanks for the info! Also, you really don’t need any soap or body wash for your body at all unless you actually have dirt on your skin. I don’t use anything on my body or my kids’ bodies except water unless necessary. And coconut oil is great for under the arms.

Hello Bobby! Thank you for this video, can you do a vitamin one? Thanks for all you do to help and educate us!

Thank you so much for all your hard work to keep us informed and live a better life. I feel so lucky to have found you. Keep up the good work.

Can you do another target video? They’re adding more plant based beauty products/food products (native and method etc) would love to know if they’re Bobby approved!

First ingredient in Colgate Kids is SORBITOL, the rest isn’t any better; there’s PEG-12, SLS, artificial flavor, SODIUM SACCHARINE, Blue 1, and Yellow 10. Besides it being just a bunch of horrible ingredients mixed together it is shockingly sweet. I would bet my allowance that those types of super-sweet toothpastes have something to do with the rise of obesity and metabolic issues that are plaguing the world. A lot of studies say that artificial sweeteners are the culprit for Metabolic Syndrome, but they all link it to food exclusively, nobody’s talking about the possibility of toothpaste as a contributor as well. Since digestion of sugars starts in the mouth as soon as our systems detect sweetness, then appropriate enzymes and agent are sent to continue to process, assimilate, refer, and discard sugars/byproducts why not account for toothpaste in the whole equation? Once our system learns to ignore sweetness due to artificial sweeteners sounding the alarm to digest sugars but there not being any, it makes “mistakes” by not activating an appropriate response to sugars even when real sugars are being consumed, making way for metabolic disorders. I’m rambling a bit because it is a lot to cover, but I hope others can understand what I’m trying to say.

Would love more info on essential oils, make up, skin care for 40+🤣 Thank you for all the great information, has truly open my eyes to all the toxins going into our bodies! Scary….

BOBBY PLS DO MAKE A PART 2 TO THIS VIDEO, THANKS FOR THIS ONE

keep the personal care/skin care videos coming. It’s great to cross check what we use or don’t use to what you recommend.

South Korean beauty products are generally excellent and ahead of the game in every way. Plus they tend to cater to all skin types and mainly sensitive skin types which you can’t go wrong with regardless! Worth the dive and researching further

YES please do more personal are products; I've been scanning on your app body lotions & cannot find a really good clean one. Also clean make up brands would be wonderful- there's so many toxic ingredients!

FYI, propylene glycol is what we use to de-ice airplanes. Runs right into the drains!

Pro tip: Schmidt’s deodorant can be found in Marshalls or Burlington for $4.99.

I would love a part 2 or make it a series! Also, please do supplements, makeup and skincare.

Check out Green Forest Lady….small patch made, 100% organic ingredients, glass containers, etc. years of testing to get the recipe correct. 👍👍👍

Petrolium is absolutely not very bad for your skin. It's one of the safest and cleanest ingredients out there

I downloaded the “Bobby Approved” app, and actually got 40% off, along with a free gift, as opposed to 30%. I followed through and ordered a few products, as this topic interests me. I appreciated the guidance, and would love to see more videos on HBA products, as well as vitamins and supplements.

LOVE!!! Opened my eyes to what could be causing irritation in skincare/body care

Definitely wanna see more of these videos!

I love dr bronners! I started with the toothpaste 10-12 years ago (the cinnamon is my favorite), and since have switched to the liquids for everything else! I make 2 sprays for dishes and multi-purpose (mix citrus with almond is my fav). And use the sal suds for laundry!

Yes please, supplements and a part 2. Thank you!

LOVE this content! So helpful for natural-seekers like me and also for beginners in this area alike! Gotta say… i’m TOTALLY a bit jealous of the amazing selection you have in the states in the natural aisle! Here in the maritimes we’ve got tiny ones but it’s growing 🙏🙌🏽

This was super helpful and just in time for our saturday shopping :) . Yes please to the follow up video to this one and also a supplements video. Supplements are difficult to figure out at times.

Hey Bobby, great vid but just wanted to point out that the last shaving cream product "Bulldog" has Phenoxyethanol in it which you said was bad/should be avoided earlier in the video.

I would definitely like to see more about Big Corporations deception with our everyday products!👍🏻👍🏻 How about “laundry fabric dryer sheets?”

Awesome video Bob!! You cut my at least 3 hours reading labels at Wholefoods and not knowing what to get at the end. #overwhelm. Could you please make a video of best face products for mix and sensitive skin, I greatly appreciate it!!

Such a great video. Thanks. Follow up video.... yes please. Supplements and vitamins video..... yes please.

Yes please do more Body Care videos & please include feminine hygiene & baby products. This is a food intro, I feel this could be a series.

I bought acure shampoo based on your suggestion and it’s great. I was really skeptical because I loved the commercial/salon one I was using.

Yes, please more on personal care and supplements too! Thanks!

Congratulations on reaching a million followers on Instagram! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re truly making a difference! 🙏

Definitely want more! Also- Womens shaving cream!

This is great, thank you! Yes, please....follow up video! Women's shaving cream, face wash, moisturizer & are there any like perfume sprays that are good if it's natural fragrance?

I’d love to see reviews of products for curly/kinky hair - brands like Shea Moisture, Cantu, etc. for example.

Love your videos!! My boyfriend and I were shopping at Aldi the other day and we checked every item with the app to see if it wad Bobby approved!! It really does open your eyes to the bad ingredients being stuffed into "healthy" products. Love your videos. I'd be interested in your opinion on companies such as Native. We've been using their deodorant for a while now but I see they've come out with toothpaste and other personal care items. Maybe a video on companies like that because as we've learned from you, you can't always trust marketing.

I changed shampoo and conditioner a couple of weeks ago now, went from using a lot of Garnier, Elvital and Schwartzkopf to using the Argan Oil of Morocco from OGX that is SLS free and it’s been a hair changing experience! My hair feels a lot better and stays fresh better and that improvement happened from the first wash! I have long hair and use the blue bottle shampoo and conditioner because it sounded like a better fit for me than the option actually made for long hair, and it’s by far the best hair care routine I’ve ever used! My hair used to feel greasy very fast but since switching to Argan oil of Morocco, I can easily go a couple of days between hair washes unless I’ve been very sweaty (we were in a heatwave when I switched shampoo) but on a normal day where I’m freezing (like now when summer took a break and decided heavy rain and temperatures below 68F is what’s on the menu even in late June and early July, I highly disapprove of that as I prefer temperatures between 70 and mid 80’s F) my hair stays fresh for longer with Argan oil of Morocco than for example after washing my hair with Garnier Response. Lately I’ve also been using bar soap in the shower more than liquid shower gel or shower cream even though I absolutely love the scent of the shower cream I’ve been using a lot for the past couple of years (has a mild scent of lavender and the scent in general reminds me of the scent inside a sauna, just very relaxing) I do use Dove bar soaps but am looking into buying some cold processed bar soap instead soon enough, preferably with lavender as I like the relaxing effect that scent has

Bobby a lot of the products you showed aren’t cheap at all. I would say a lot of people probably can’t afford to buy a lot of them. I’m Using up the bad products that I’ve had for awhile now and will try to get the products you talked about in this video. I can’t afford to throw away the products I have right now with crappy ingredients and buy the goods ones you talked about in this video. When I do run out of my crappy ingredients products then I will get the good ones.

Bobby, how do you feel about Kirk's unscented soap? It's very cheap and very simple. Ingredients: sodium cocoate, water, glycerin, sodium chloride, sodium gluconate

I’m from the UK and the thing that startled me is just how expensive these products are in the US. Everything I noticed is about 2, 3 or even 4 times more expensive than it is here. Bulldog stuff sells in the UK for about £2-£3. 😮

Thank you Bobby! Yes, please do a video about supplements. It would be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend 😊

Suzanne Somers started the "look at what's in products" she said if your shampoo had bad stuff it's going into your brain.

Thanks! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos.
