Swap It Out: Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury by theorganicbunny on November 9, 2025November 23, 2025 Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk is a beautiful and iconic shade, but did you know that it is full of petrochemical binders, plastics, silicones, synthetic dyes, and conventional stabilizers?! Ugh. And, so many people say oh well, it’s a small amount but this matters more with lip products because it doesn’t just sit on our skin, we literally ingest it! Industry exposure models estimate ~20–30 mg of lipstick can be unintentionally swallowed, per day which is roughly 20–30% of what’s applied! That means what’s on your lips does contribute to your daily intake and imagine over time! From a science lens, concerns are mostly around microplastics and persistent polymers building up in the environment, potential impurities in coal-tar dyes (like heavy metals in the synthetic pigments), and antioxidant preservatives that have shown pro-oxidant or endocrine-active signals in certain in-vitro or animal data! Why risk it when there are cleaner options!? Read More

Seem fine to me!? But, the truth is, I knew nothing about ingredients, what to look for or why most were bad!?

Is Summer Friday’s Clean? by theorganicbunny on October 12, 2025October 16, 2025 Summer Fridays has become one of the most talked-about modern beauty brands, blending skincare and makeup with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Co-founded by influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland, the line is marketed as vegan, cruelty-free, and “clean” in the sense that it avoids parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. They’re best known for their masks, skin tints, and especially their lip care! Two of their most viral best sellers are their Lip Butter Balm and their Lip Oils, both beloved for their textures, packaging, and influencer-fueled hype. But, when you take a closer look at the ingredient lists through a stricter, more clean beauty lens, are these products truly clean and, more importantly, are they Organic Bunny approved? Let’s explore! Read More
Is Rhode Skincare Clean!? by theorganicbunny on August 30, 2025August 31, 2025 Peptides are all of the rage right now, especially when it comes to skincare but, sadly, most of the brands using them are not clean, full of other irritating ingredients that may be behind the irritations or redness your skin is experiencing. We offer our customer FREE custom skin care consultations and more and more, we are seeing our customers end up with red or irritated skin after using celebrity skincare brands like Rhode. While we get the hype, it’s hard to resist some of their items, they seem so amazing, the truth is, it’s not the best skin care line for those with truly reactive or sensitive skin. In the big picture, I do want to reassure you that it’s a decent brand for being clean, you can tell they tried to make it cleaner, however, to my standards, it still does not make the cut, here’s why!

Is Henry Rose A Truly Clean Brand? by theorganicbunny on April 9, 2025April 9, 2025 Many use Henry Rose because it is a “cleaner” brand but, how clean is it!? Let’s dive in! First, I will share with you my standards: I reach for 100% Natural fragrances only, that means 0% synthetic. Not because synthetics are always bad but because there is simply not enough long-term testing behind most of them. I prefer natural when it comes to fragrance. So, where does Henry Rose fall here?

Best Non-Toxic Intimate Products by theorganicbunny on February 10, 2025February 11, 2025 When collecting items to swap out for my Valentine’s Day series, intimate products was a BIG one to find cleaner swaps for! Because these products are being used on such a sensitive area of the body, you really want to make sure they are as clean as possible, otherwise you run the risk of creating infections, and even hormonal imbalances. When researching this topic, I was shocked to see such horrible items being used in products made for the most intimate areas of our bodies so, in hopes to encourage people to find cleaner options, I wanted to show you exactly what to look out for, why, and of course, what to use instead!

Best Natural Bug Spray by theorganicbunny on July 10, 2023July 29, 2024 The heat of Summer is most people’s favorite time of the year, but on the flip side, it also brings peak mosquitos and ticks; oh my! Another problem is, like most other products, the bug sprays on the market are super toxic, loaded with risky chemicals like DEET, which, when studied, has been shown to cause brain cells to die!? I don’t know about you, but I would happily take some bug bites over killing brain cells, so today, Organic Bunny is breaking down DEET, why it’s so toxic, and what safer options I recommend instead! So, what is the best natural bug spray, you say? Let’s go! Read More
Swap It Out- Face Wipes by theorganicbunny on January 14, 2018April 11, 2019 Do you know what’s hiding in your favorite facial wipe? Take these Oil of Olay wipes for example, the very first ingredient is Petrolatum, followed by PEG-100, two Parabens, lab-made fragrances, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, more PEGs, and various other irritating ingredients, not to mention, they are owned by Proctor & Gamble, a brand that still actively tests on animals. When choosing a facial wipe, or any skincare product for that matter, I also choose fragrance-free as synthetic {fragrance} can have various links to allergic reactions and hormone disruptions. I also personally avoid the use of controversial {Parabens} as there are many studies finding they may cause healthy cells to turn into cancerous cells and more hormone disruptions. Many brands then replace Parabens with {Phenoxyethanol} which still has similar links to skin irritations and is considered a potential neurotoxin. Another synthetic I avoid is {PEG-100} as it has links to kidney toxicity with the possibility of being contaminated with carcinogens. Read More
What’s Hiding in Your Favorite Chapstick!? by theorganicbunny on November 29, 2016October 1, 2019 You know what it is, it’s Swap It Out Sunday which means today I will be encouraging everyone to take a closer look at their beauty routine, hopefully eliminating at least one bad guy from the bunch! Because this can be an overwhelming task, I find it works best to eliminate things one by one, once a week. Today’s topic? Chapstick! Because the seasons are changing and our lips are becoming dryer than ever, it’s easy to want to reach out for your favorite chapstick and slather your lips in some moisturizing ingredients. However, did you know that most conventional chapsticks found in drug stores or from promotional freebies are full of toxic ingredients with links to cancer, hormone disruptions, brain development, allergic reactions and more? Check out what is in this Blistex Complete Moisture chapstick! Octinoxate– This is a known and studied endocrine disruptor, shown to disrupt the endocrine, hormone, and thyroid with links to breast cancer. Oxybenzone– Known as Benzophenone-3, this helps other ingredients deeply penetrate into the skin with links to cancer. Butylparaben– A preservative toxic to reproduction with links to hormone disruptions and cancer. Ethylparaben– Another preservative with links to endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Methylparaben– Another preservative that has been found in breast tumors. Propylparaben– Another preservative that shows up in breast tumors with links to possible endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Petrolatum– This is mineral oil which can cause itchiness, irritations, and allergic reactions, possibly contaminated with carcinogens depending on the source. Sodium Borate– This has links to respiratory and skin irritations with possible fertility-damaging risks. As you can see, all of the above is anything but clean or healthy for our lips. Why use a product full of so many synthetics, artificial flavors, carcinogens, and irritants when there are endless safer swaps to try instead!? Safer Chapsticks To Try Instead- Osmia Organics Honey Myrrh Lip Repair– $22 Osmia Organics Lip Doctor– $12 Henne Organics Luxury Lip Balm– $22 Kiss Me Honey Lip Balm Trio– $15 Malaya Organics Lavender Lip Savior– $12 Pogo Lip Balms– $4 Laguna Herbals Lip Balm w/ SPF– $3.75 100% Pure Lip Balms– $6 100% Pure Lip Butters– $12 All of the above chapsticks, lip balms + butters are the very best I’ve found.
