Nontoxic Swaps for Men
When I started making nontoxic swaps for myself, my husband naturally began doing the same with his personal care products. But we quickly realized that finding clean, effective options for men isn’t nearly as easy as it is for women. That’s why I’ve curated some of my favorite nontoxic products that are simple, hardworking, and made with ingredients you can actually feel good about. These picks are perfect for the men in your life—but honestly, they’re so good, everyone will want to use them.
Here’s a quick lineup of top-performing, guy-approved products available now at Liv Holistic:
🌲 Aleavia Coastal Woodlands Prebiotic Body Cleanse
This one’s a bestseller for a reason. The scent is woodsy, earthy, and fresh—without any synthetic fragrance. Aleavia’s Coastal Woodlands Body Cleanse is powered by prebiotics that support your skin’s natural microbiome, making it perfect for daily use (especially after workouts or outdoor adventures). It cleanses without stripping your skin and leaves you smelling like you just walked through a pine forest—in the best way.
Handcrafted and made with activated charcoal in the Fijian Islands, this bar soap is ideal for detoxifying the skin while keeping things simple and rugged. It’s great for oily or acne-prone skin (think chest, back, or face), and the lather is creamy and satisfying. Plus, the scent? Subtle, natural, and super refreshing. For exfoliating, use the bar directly on your skin - or for a gentle wash, lather in your hands or on a loofa before washing.
Muscle aloe jelly, or as I like to call it “the nontoxic IcyHot” is made with menthol, eucalyptus, and aloe to soothe tight muscles without any toxic junk. Just massage it into sore spots—your back, shoulders, neck, legs—and feel the chill do its thing. Bonus: no greasy residue.
Forget aluminum and artificial fragrance. Humble deodorants are made with only a few clean ingredients, and they work really well. For men, the top two scents flying off the shelves are:
Black Spruce – Woodsy, crisp, and clean.
Palo Santo & Frankincense – Smoky, grounding, and totally unique.
Both are made with baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils—no parabens, no sulfates, just safe, effective protection all day long.
If you're sensitive to baking soda or just prefer no scent at all, the Crystal Deodorant Stick is a perfect alternative. It uses mineral salts to naturally prevent odor-causing bacteria. It’s completely fragrance-free and works for both men and women, especially those with super sensitive skin. Just run it under water, and apply to clean underarms! Tip: when first swapping to a natural deo, use a detox bar for a smooth transition - just lather, apply to underarms, let it dry for 5 mins, and rinse off in the shower. Use the detox bar as needed.
Everything can be found online at LivHolisticStore.com or in person at 342 State Street in Hamburg, PA
