NON TOXIC SWAP 🚿✨

showering in unfiltered water can expose your family to chemicals like chlorine + chloramine that can lead to eczema, skin irritation + dry hair

adding a shower filter is one of the easiest non toxic swaps you can make

filtering out these chemicals = healthier skin, hair + overall health

my shower filter is amazing:
