The Invisible Load No One Sees

How Iโ€™m reducing stress & learning to regulate my emotions

If youโ€™re a mom, you already know about the invisible load… the one no one else sees but you feel in your bones every single day.

Itโ€™s the mental checklist running nonstop in the back of your mind:
Snacks packed? Did I switch the laundry? Why is the dog limping? Whoโ€™s out of socks? Donโ€™t forget to RSVP. Add yogurt to the grocery list. Oh, and be patient, be present, be calmโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s the weight of everyone elseโ€™s needs stacking on top of your own, until suddenly you realizeโ€ฆ you havenโ€™t taken a full breath all day.

For a long time, I thought stress was just โ€œpart of the jobโ€ and emotional overwhelm was normal. I told myself to just push through, but pushing didnโ€™t make me stronger. It made me exhausted, anxious, reactive, and stuck in a cycle I hated.

The truth?
I wasnโ€™t okay.
And that invisible load was crushing me.

What Finally Changed

One night, after snapping at my kids again, I sat on the edge of my bed and realized something had to shift. Not in a โ€œburn everything down and start overโ€ wayโ€ฆ but in a small, steady โ€œI canโ€™t keep white-knuckling my lifeโ€ way.

So I started making changes: simple, doable shifts that began rewiring how I show up, how I think, and how I care for myself.

Hereโ€™s what has truly helped lower my stress and regulate my emotions:


1. I Slowed My Mornings Down

No more waking up in chaos.
Now I start with coffee, quiet, and intention.
A few pages of prayer or Scripture.
Coffee + breathing.
Just being before I rush into doing.

That alone shifted the tone of my whole day.


2. I Nourish My Body (So My Brain Can Function)

This one surprised me.

I learned that stress is harder to manage when your nervous system is running on fumes.
Thatโ€™s when I started supporting my body with calm-supporting tools:
โœ”๏ธ Collagen + CBG in my morning drink
โœ”๏ธ Daily cannabinoids for emotional balance
โœ”๏ธ Functional mushrooms for focus + resilience
โœ”๏ธ Enough water + electrolytes so my system isnโ€™t running dry

The difference in my mood and patience was almost immediate.
A nourished body produces a calmer, more regulated mind.


3. I Pay Attention to My Triggers Instead of Hiding From Them

Instead of stuffing emotions down, I started noticing them.

When I feel my chest tighten or my fuse shortening, I pause.
I breathe.
I ask: Whatโ€™s really going on? What do I need right now?

It sounds simple, but this one practice has saved me from so many emotional spirals.


4. I Stopped Carrying It All Alone

Iโ€™m learning to ask for help.
Iโ€™m delegating.
Iโ€™m telling my family what I need instead of assuming they should already know.

And most shockingly?
They actually want to help.
I just needed to let them.


5. I Built Tiny Moments of Comfort Into My Day

I used to think self-care meant spa days.
Nope.
Self-care is the small things that tell your nervous system, youโ€™re safe.

A walk outside.
Ten minutes with my LumeBox.
Sitting in the car before going inside.
Saying โ€œnoโ€ without apologizing.

Little things add up to big emotional shifts.


Iโ€™m Not Perfect Now, But Iโ€™m Present

The invisible load hasnโ€™t disappeared.
But now? It doesnโ€™t crush me.

Iโ€™m more regulated, more patient, more aware, and more anchored in who I want to be.

If youโ€™re carrying more than anyone knows, please hear me:
You donโ€™t have to stay overwhelmed.
Small steps can change everything.
And youโ€™re allowed to take them.

You deserve to breathe again.
You deserve to feel like you again.

And if you ever need support, tools, or a starting point, Iโ€™m right here.

Monday Mood + My Favorite Stack

Itโ€™s Monday morning. The house is waking up. The to-do list is already long, and letโ€™s be honest… so is the laundry pile.

But hereโ€™s the thing: I no longer start my week in survival mode.

Instead, I have a little ritual that sets the tone for my energy, my mindset, and my mood and I call it my Monday Morning Stack. It’s my way of fueling from the inside out, with purpose and intention.

Let me break it down for you:

๐ŸŒฟ Broad Spectrum Jelly

This is my calm-in-a-storm moment.
One little jelly helps support my mood, lower stress, and smooth out those anxious jitters that tend to sneak in on a Monday morning. Itโ€™s gentle, clean, and works fast. I can feel the shift in how I show up.

๐ŸŠ Immune Bloom Jelly

With little ones running around (and touching everything), immune support isnโ€™t optional… itโ€™s a must.
This jelly is packed with elderberry + functional mushrooms to help keep my defenses strong. Bonus: it tastes like a treat, not a chore.

๐ŸŒฑ Digestive Jelly

Gut health is the foundation of it all, and this one supports digestion, reduces bloat, and helps everything stay regular.
Letโ€™s just say it keeps thingsโ€ฆ moving. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And when my gut feels good, my mood and focus do too.

โœจ Collagen with CBG

I add this into my morning smoothie or just shake it up with cold water and ice.
It supports my hair, skin, joints, and even my thyroid. And thanks to the added CBG, it offers extra anti-inflammatory benefits, which is perfect after a busy weekend or hard workout.


This stack isnโ€™t just a supplement routine.
Itโ€™s part of how I say yes to feeling good – without the crash, chemicals, or overwhelm.

Itโ€™s energy, immunity, gut support, and beauty from withinโ€ฆ simplified.

This is what choosing wellness looks like for me right now.
Not perfect. Not complicated.
Just little shifts that add up to a better Monday mood… and a better week.

30 Days with the Lume Box: My Honest Experience with Red Light Therapy

A month ago, I added something new and a little out-of-the-box to my wellness routine… literally. I started using the Lume Box, a red light therapy device I had heard amazing things about. I wasnโ€™t totally sure what to expect, but I was curious. After all, Iโ€™m always looking for natural ways to support my energy, recovery, and overall wellness, especially in this season of life where Iโ€™m juggling motherhood, movement, business, and everything in between.

Now, after one month of consistent use, I can confidently say this little red box is here to stay.

What Is Red Light Therapy Anyway?

Before I dive into my results, letโ€™s talk basics. Red light therapy (also called low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function. Itโ€™s backed by some impressive science and has been shown to support:

  • Faster muscle recovery
  • Reduced inflammation and joint pain
  • Increased energy at the cellular level
  • Better skin tone and texture
  • Improved sleep and mood

And the best part? Itโ€™s totally non-invasive and feels like a warm, gentle glow.

My Personal Results After One Month

Letโ€™s talk real-life results. Iโ€™ve been using the Lume Box about 10โ€“15 minutes per day, a few times a week, usually while reading or working on stuff for my business – super easy to fit into my routine.

Hereโ€™s what Iโ€™ve noticed:

โšก๏ธ More Energy

Even on busy, chaotic mom-life days (you know the ones), Iโ€™ve had noticeably more stamina and mental clarity. I no longer feel like Iโ€™m dragging by 3 p.m., which is a big win.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Faster Recovery

Iโ€™ve been training hard lately, and I usually feel it in my legs and joints for days after races or workouts. This past month? Iโ€™ve bounced back faster than ever. Less soreness, less stiffness, and more readiness to go again.

โœจ Less Aches, More Flow

Thereโ€™s a fluidity in my body I didnโ€™t realize I was missing until it came back. The little creaks and aches that used to creep in after long days on my feet? Barely noticeable now.

Is It Worth It?

If you’re someone who moves your body often, struggles with energy dips, or just wants to feel better in your skin without adding another supplement or appointment to your life, this is a tool Iโ€™d recommend in a heartbeat.

Itโ€™s one of the simplest wellness upgrades Iโ€™ve made this year, and the payoff is huge.


PS: Want in?

I just got wind that thereโ€™s going to be a 4th of July sale on the Lume Box ๐ŸŽ‰ and if youโ€™ve been curious about trying it for yourself, this is the time to jump in.

Want the early details? Drop a ๐Ÿ”ด in the comments or send me a message and Iโ€™ll make sure youโ€™re the first to know.

Your wellness is worth the investment.
Cheering you on always,

How My Husband Supports Stress & Sleep with Clean, Non-Toxic Tools

I used to think I was the only one in our house who needed a solid wellness routine to feel like myself, but the truth is, stress doesnโ€™t discriminate. My husband, like so many men, carries a lot on his shoulders. Between work, parenting, and everything in between, I started noticing signs that his stress and sleep needed just as much attention as mine.

So we decided to be intentional about giving him tools that actually support his well-being and do it in a clean, non-toxic way.

Hereโ€™s what that looks like in our home:


๐ŸŒฟ CBD to the Rescue

My husband was hesitant at first, but now heโ€™s the one reminding me when weโ€™re low on his jellies. CBD has become his go-to for stress and helping his mind shift out of โ€œfight or flightโ€ mode.


๐Ÿ˜Œ Unwind Jellies for Evenings

Some nights are harder than others, and when his brain just wonโ€™t shut off, heโ€™ll take an Unwind Jelly. These are formulated with natural calming botanicals and cannabinoids that help relax both mind and body.

Theyโ€™re clean, theyโ€™re effective, and he doesnโ€™t wake up groggy… just rested.


๐Ÿ’ค Sleep Hygiene That Works

Weโ€™ve also made some simple changes to his evening routine that make a huge difference:

  • Magnesium supplements after dinner to relax muscles and support deep sleep.
  • Blue light blockers in the evening to help his body produce melatonin naturally.
  • No caffeine – he switched to decaf coffee and it has been a game changer for him.
  • A cool, dark bedroom and a sound machine or fan to help his body settle into true rest.

๐Ÿ’ง Hydration + Functional Support

Stress affects hydration and energy levels, so weโ€™re intentional about getting in electrolytes during the day (without the junk ingredients). He also adds a scoop of clean collagen to his morning smoothies for joint, gut, and skin support, because men deserve that glow too ๐Ÿ˜‰


Why It Matters

Supporting stress and sleep isn’t just a “womenโ€™s wellness” thing. Men need it too. And itโ€™s powerful to see the difference when they have access to tools that actually work.

Clean, natural, non-toxic options arenโ€™t just for me, theyโ€™re for him too. And I love that our wellness routines donโ€™t have to look the same, but they can still align in the values we share: safe, effective, and intentional care.


If your partner is navigating stress or struggling to sleep well, consider introducing one or two of these clean swaps. You might be surprised how quickly they notice a difference… mine sure did.

My Go-To Tools for Winding Down at Night Naturally

Because we deserve to feel peace, not pressure, at the end of the day.

There was a time when my nights looked a lot like this:
Iโ€™d finally collapse into bed, physically drained, but somehow, my brain would go into overdrive. Iโ€™d be running through my to-do list, rethinking things I said (or didnโ€™t say), and mentally prepping for tomorrow before today had even ended.

Even though I was exhausted, true rest felt impossible.

Sound familiar?

Whether you’re a mom, a multitasker, or just someone trying to keep up with life, you know that the way we end our day matters. And over time, I realized that I couldnโ€™t keep hoping for rest. I had to create it.

Thatโ€™s when I started building a nighttime routine with natural tools that truly support my body and mind. These aren’t complicated or expensive. Theyโ€™re small, intentional habits that help signal to my nervous system: โ€œYouโ€™re safe. You can slow down now.โ€

So if youโ€™re looking to feel more peace and less panic in the evenings, here are my tried-and-true tools:


๐ŸŒฟ 1. Hemp (not pot) to Calm the Chaos

This one is non-negotiable for me now. A clean, full-spectrum CBD, THC, or CBG jelly in the evening has been a game-changer for my nervous system. It helps reduce that mental spiral so I can actually feel present and peaceful, whether Iโ€™m having quiet time alone or unwinding with my partner.

There are so many options out there, but not all CBD is created equal. I only use Green Compass because I trust their sourcing, their transparency, and the way their products actually work.


๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ 2. Gentle Movement or Breathwork

If Iโ€™ve had a high-stress day (and letโ€™s be real, most days qualify), I take five minutes to stretch on the floor or do some box breathing. Sometimes I just lie with my legs up the wall and breathe deeply. Itโ€™s simple, but it signals to my body: “You’re not in fight or flight anymore.”

You don’t have to be a yogi to do this. Just dim the lights, roll out a mat or towel, and move in a way that feels good.


๐Ÿ“ฑ 3. No Screens After 9 PM

This oneโ€™s tough, especially when the kids are finally asleep and you just want to scroll. But Iโ€™ve noticed a huge difference in my ability to fall asleep when I cut off blue light exposure and social media noise at least an hour before bed.

Instead, I try to do something that helps my brain unplug rather than rev up again.


๐Ÿต 4. Magnesium-Rich Tea or Mocktail

I love making a cozy magnesium mocktail or sipping herbal tea with ingredients like chamomile, passionflower, or lemon balm. Not only is it soothing, but magnesium helps relax your muscles and regulate the stress hormone cortisol.

Itโ€™s like a warm, gentle โ€œexhaleโ€ in a cup.


๐Ÿ“– 5. A Few Pages of a Book

Reading (something light or inspiring!) helps me shift out of the busy world in my brain and into a slower rhythm. Just a few pages can create the perfect transition between wakefulness and rest. Bonus: It makes my dreams way more interesting than if I had just scrolled reels before bed ๐Ÿ˜†


Iโ€™m not saying every night is perfect. Some nights still involve toddler wakeups, late-night dishes, or staying up too late talking with my husband. But having this toolbox has absolutely changed the way I experience my evenings.

I donโ€™t just collapse into bed anymore… I wind down intentionally.
And I fall asleep with more peace, fewer spirals, and a body that knows itโ€™s safe to rest.

If youโ€™re stuck in the cycle of going to bed exhausted but wired, try adding just one of these tools into your routine tonight. Then build from there.

You deserve a nighttime routine that supports you.

Tell me – what helps you wind down naturally? Iโ€™d love to add your ideas to my list!

Why Functional Mushrooms + Mind Bloom Are a Brain + Energy Game-Changer ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿง ๐ŸŒฟ

If youโ€™ve been feeling mentally scattered, low on energy, or like you just canโ€™t get into a good rhythm lately โ€” youโ€™re not alone. Between parenting, working, managing a household, and just trying to function, our brains are carrying a lot. And sometimes, coffee just doesnโ€™t cut it (or makes it worse ๐Ÿ˜…).

Thatโ€™s where functional mushrooms come in โ€” and why I never skip my daily dose of Mind Bloom.

So, what are functional mushrooms?

Unlike the button mushrooms you throw in a stir fry, functional mushrooms are powerhouse fungi used for centuries in Eastern medicine for their ability to support the body in specific, targeted ways โ€” especially the brain and immune system. They’re known as “adaptogens,” which means they help the body adapt to stress and restore balance.

Mind Bloom combines some of the most well-researched and powerful mushrooms in one easy, delicious daily dose.

edc408f4-35a7-43d8-a722-cce98d112f4e-1

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s inside:

๐Ÿ„ Lionโ€™s Mane โ€“ The Brain Booster

Lionโ€™s Mane is known as natureโ€™s nootropic. It supports memory, learning, and cognitive function by stimulating the growth of brain cells and protecting against mental decline. If youโ€™ve ever struggled with brain fog or forgetfulness (hello, mom brain!), Lionโ€™s Mane is your new best friend.

โšก Cordyceps โ€“ The Natural Energizer

Cordyceps supports physical stamina, oxygen uptake, and ATP production (your bodyโ€™s natural energy currency). Unlike caffeine, it doesnโ€™t give you the jitters or lead to a crash. Itโ€™s a steady, clean energy source that helps you power through your day โ€” whether youโ€™re chasing kids, crushing workouts, or running a business.

๐ŸŒฟ Sage โ€“ The Calm Focus Herb

Sage is often overlooked, but itโ€™s incredible for mental clarity and reducing mental fatigue. It also supports a sense of calm โ€” something we all need more of in our overstimulated lives. This addition helps balance out the energizing effects of Cordyceps, making Mind Bloom a beautifully centered experience.

Why I personally love Mind Bloom ๐Ÿ’š

As a mom, business owner, and wellness advocate, Iโ€™m always looking for clean, effective ways to support my brain and body. I donโ€™t want quick fixes. I want sustainable solutions that come from nature โ€” not synthetic stimulants.

I take Mind Bloom daily as part of my afternoon routine, and I can feel the difference in my focus, productivity, and mood. Itโ€™s become a non-negotiable part of my wellness toolbox.

And the best part? I know Iโ€™m getting the cleanest, highest-quality ingredients โ€” with no fillers, sugars, or mystery additives.


Who is this for?

  • Moms who feel like their brain never stops but their energy canโ€™t keep up
  • Entrepreneurs who need focus without the caffeine crash
  • Anyone navigating brain fog, fatigue, or burnout
  • People wanting to support their brain health long-term, naturally

If youโ€™ve been curious about functional mushrooms or looking for a natural brain + energy boost, I highly recommend giving Mind Bloom a try. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ„

What Moms Really Want for Motherโ€™s Day (Hint: It’s Not a Mug)

Thereโ€™s a running joke among moms that every Motherโ€™s Day gift is either a mug that says โ€œBest Mom Everโ€ or a candle with a generic scent and a tag someone else filled out. And while we appreciate the sentiment (and yes, we are the best moms ever), most of us crave something much deeper:

Rest. Relaxation. And a moment to ourselves.

Letโ€™s be honest โ€” motherhood is the most beautiful, exhausting, emotionally-charged job on the planet. Whether youโ€™re a mom of littles who hasnโ€™t had an uninterrupted nightโ€™s sleep in years, or a seasoned mama still doing all the things for everyone around her, one universal truth stands: we are tired.

This year, instead of flowers that wilt or a brunch reservation that still requires wrangling toddlers, give the moms (and mothers of your children) in your life what they really want: a reason to exhale.

Introducing: The Motherโ€™s Day Relaxation Bundle

Available now through May 11th (or while supplies last)

This limited-edition bundle is like a warm hug, a deep breath, and a โ€œgo take a napโ€ โ€” all wrapped into one beautifully curated gift. Itโ€™s thoughtfully designed to support rest, relaxation, and radiant health from the inside out.

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s inside:


๐Ÿซ 3 Weeks of Chocolate Collagen

Yes, chocolate. This delicious, dairy-free collagen isnโ€™t just a treat โ€” itโ€™s a functional beauty and wellness supplement designed to support skin, hair, joints, and gut health. Every mom deserves to glow from the inside out.


๐ŸŒฟ Unwind Jellies

Think of these as stress relief in a gummy. Infused with clean hemp and calming botanicals, Unwind Jellies help ease tension, support mood balance, and encourage those “I can breathe again” moments we all crave after a long day.


๐ŸŒ™ Sleep Jellies

Because counting sheep just isnโ€™t cutting it. These jellies are packed with clean CBN to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like a human (not a zombie).


๐Ÿ˜ด A Silky Sleep Mask

Light-blocking, ultra-soft, and surprisingly luxurious. Itโ€™s the finishing touch to create a peaceful bedtime routine that actually works โ€” because letโ€™s face it, most moms havenโ€™t bought anything for themselves in months.


๐Ÿ’ฐ And the Best Part?

Itโ€™s almost HALF OFF retail price and ships free โ€” so you can gift generously without the guilt.

Whether youโ€™re shopping for your mom, your sister, your spouse, or yourself (because, letโ€™s be real, you deserve this), this bundle is the perfect way to say:

โ€œYou give so much. This is just for you.โ€


๐ŸŒธ Donโ€™t Wait

This bundle is only available through May 11th or while supplies last โ€” and last yearโ€™s Mother’s Day specials sold out fast.

Let this be the year we stop asking moms what they want and start giving them what they actually need:
Better sleep. Less stress. And a little bit of chocolate.

I Yelled Today. Then I Cried. Then I Hugged Them Tighter.

img_4976

Mom confession:
I yelled today.
Then I cried.
Then I hugged them tighter.

It wasnโ€™t the moment I wanted.
It wasnโ€™t the version of me Iโ€™m proud of.
But it was real.

Motherhood has a way of holding both the most beautiful and the most overwhelming moments in the exact same day. Sometimes the same hour.

I lost my patience over something smallโ€”maybe it was the constant noise, the spilled juice, the backtalk, the mess I cleaned for the fifth time. But it wasnโ€™t just that moment. It was the mental load Iโ€™d been carrying all day. All week. Maybe longer.

And once again, I found myself in that place of frustration…
where the tears come right after the yelling.
The guilt creeps in fast.
The shame whispers, โ€œYou should be better at this.โ€

But hereโ€™s what Iโ€™m reminding myself of:

We are human.
We are growing.
And our kids are learning through our imperfections, not in spite of them.

So I apologized.
I hugged them.
I started over.

And then, I took a moment for me.


Because Iโ€™ve learned that when I donโ€™t pour into myself, I pour out stress.

Iโ€™ve had to get really honest about how Iโ€™m supporting my nervous system. And not just with bubble baths or locking myself in the bathroom for five minutes (although letโ€™s be honest… Iโ€™ve done that too ๐Ÿ™ƒ).

Iโ€™ve started building in daily rhythms that help me feel more groundedโ€”especially on the hard days. Things like:

  • Taking my CBD regularly to support a calm mood
  • Sipping adaptogenic mushroom tea to help manage stress
  • Saying yes to hydration and no to perfection
  • Getting outside, even if itโ€™s just for 10 minutes
  • Checking in with my breath before I check my phone

These small things donโ€™t erase the chaos. But they help me show up better in it.
And on the days I still lose my cool?
I come back to grace. Again and again.

If youโ€™ve ever had a moment like mineโ€”where you yelled, then cried, then hugged tighterโ€”I see you. Youโ€™re not alone.

Youโ€™re not failing.
Youโ€™re just a mom who cares deeply.
And caring is exhausting sometimes.

Give yourself a little more compassion today.
And if you’re looking for natural ways to support your stress and show up with more calm and clarityโ€”Iโ€™d love to share whatโ€™s helped me. ๐Ÿ’›

From Survival Mode to True Calm: My Journey with Nano Jellies

For the longest time, I didnโ€™t realize how much of my life I was spending in a constant state of fight or flight. I was always anxious, overwhelmed, and totally exhaustedโ€”but I thought that was just how life was supposed to feel with small children. I had normalized the chaos in my body and mind, brushing off the symptoms because they were so consistent that they felt normal.

Every little thing set me offโ€”tight deadlines, noisy kids, unexpected plans, even just the overwhelm of a busy to-do list. My heart would race, my thoughts would spiral, and my body felt tense all the time. I was stuck on high alert, living in survival mode without even realizing it.

Then something shifted.

I discovered nano jelliesโ€”and while I didnโ€™t expect a huge change at first, I can now confidently say that they were a complete game-changer for my nervous system. These tiny but mighty wellness tools helped me regulate in a way I didnโ€™t even know I needed. For the first time in a long time, my mind felt clear. My anxious thoughts quieted. My body relaxed. I wasnโ€™t just coping anymoreโ€”I was healing.

It was like my whole system finally exhaled.

Now, I feel like I can respond to life instead of constantly reacting to it. Iโ€™m not as quick to snap, spiral, or shut down. Thereโ€™s a new sense of calm and control thatโ€™s become my new normal, and itโ€™s something I never want to live without again. Itโ€™s not about being stress-free (because, letโ€™s be honest, life is still life), but about having tools that support my body and mind so I can navigate the hard moments with more grace and peace.

If youโ€™ve been living in that anxious, go-go-go state tooโ€”please know that it doesnโ€™t have to be that way. There is a better way to feel. You can feel safe in your body again. You can find your calm. And I would love to share more with you if youโ€™re curious.

You donโ€™t have to do this alone. Letโ€™s talk. โค๏ธ

Why Crunchi SPF is the Safest Sunscreen for Your Family (and What to Avoid!)

When it comes to sunscreen, most people assume that if itโ€™s sold in stores, it must be safe. Unfortunately, many conventional sunscreens contain harmful chemicals that absorb into the skin and bloodstream, leading to hormone disruption, allergies, and even potential long-term health risks. Not to mention, some of these ingredients are devastating to marine life and coral reefs.

As a mom, I refuse to take chances with what I put on my familyโ€™s skinโ€”especially something we use daily in the warmer months! Thatโ€™s why I only trust Crunchi SPF. Itโ€™s not just about sun protection; itโ€™s about protecting our health, too.

๐Ÿšซ Popular Sunscreens to Avoid

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has flagged many popular sunscreen brands for containing toxic ingredients that pose risks to both humans and the environment. Some of the worst offenders include:

โŒ Neutrogena โ€“ Contains oxybenzone, linked to hormone disruption. Some formulas were even recalled due to benzene contamination!
โŒ Banana Boat โ€“ Uses avobenzone and other chemical filters that can penetrate the skin.
โŒ Coppertone โ€“ Often contains octinoxate, a chemical that disrupts endocrine function and harms coral reefs.
โŒ Hawaiian Tropic โ€“ Marketed as “reef-friendly” but still contains questionable ingredients.
โŒ Supergoop โ€“ Some formulas contain avobenzone, which is known to break down in the sun and cause skin irritation.

These brands may be widely available, but that doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re safe.

โœ… Why I Choose Crunchi SPF Instead

So, what makes Crunchi SPF different from the rest? Hereโ€™s why I trust it for my entire family:

๐ŸŒฟ 100% Mineral Protection โ€“ Crunchi uses non-nano zinc oxide, which sits on top of the skin to protect against UV rays without absorbing into the body. Many chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, are absorbed into the bloodstream within minutes.

๐Ÿšซ No Chemical Sunscreens โ€“ Itโ€™s free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone, and other harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional sunscreens.

๐ŸŒŠ Truly Reef-Safe โ€“ Unlike many brands that claim to be “reef-safe” but still contain harmful ingredients, Crunchi is Hawaii-compliant and free from any chemicals that damage marine life.

๐Ÿงด No Artificial Fragrances or Toxic Fillers โ€“ Many sunscreens are loaded with synthetic fragrances, parabens, and preservatives that can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Crunchi keeps it clean with gentle, nourishing ingredients that are safe for babies, kids, and those with sensitive skin.

โœ”๏ธ Certified Clean Beauty โ€“ Crunchi is EWG-verified and held to the highest safety standards, ensuring that every ingredient is safe, effective, and non-toxic.

Because Sunscreen Shouldnโ€™t Come with a Health Risk

Sunscreen is meant to protect us from harm, not expose us to dangerous chemicals. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve made the switch to Crunchi SPF, and Iโ€™ll never go back! Itโ€™s a simple swap that makes a huge difference for both our health and the planet.
