These days, crunchy means being health-conscious and having an investment mindset toward quality and longevity. Hot girls now are more in tune with their bodies, and know that their lifestyle choices present certain consequences for their health. Whereas it used to be considered weird or even borderline New-Agey to lean on the natural side, we’ve now seen the tables turn.

However, a common misconception is that it’s still super expensive to be healthy and buy clean products. This is simply not true. You can dip your toe into nontoxic products without overhauling your entire home and spending a fortune. And if you pick multi-purpose products, then you’re actually spending less in the long run and protecting your lungs in the process. It has been shown that frequent exposure to cleaning products can accelerate the natural decline of your lung health. Seriously, using toxic chemicals to "clean" our environment? Smells fishy, Big Pharma.

So, we’re going to unpack which clean brands are the most important and most frequently used. Besides the specific brand sites, you can find these products on Thrive Market and Amazon.
