Last time I checked, soap isn't something you are supposed to eat.

Nigger, of course I don't eat it. A lad told me that it went through your skin or that it had bad chems in it.

It's just broscience, right?

>>130018

I've seen these claims on the website of the mail order company I get my protein from even, but it's probably broscience, just like the fixation with testosterone in these places overall. I know this post will get criticised but I just want to say this whole thing about wanting to fix your hormones, your gut flora and what else people are doing now is just an excuse for not exercising and eating properly. Stop trying to find silly shortcuts, calculate your needed nutrition value and learn how to lift, how to do cardio and keep some discipline and you won't need this complicated stuff.

If you want to use clean natural products that's one thing and these already exist, just go to some hippie store. Keep it simple.

>champoo

It's "shampoo". Get as natural shampoo as you can, with no parabens. Soap is much easier, you could get bar soap made from goat milk or something.

>home made soap

Soapmaking is hard work- you will get gains from that, not a bad idea tbh.

yes there are xenoestrogens in shampoos soaps shaving cream after shave etc

while I don't doubt that many of the substances you named in your pastebin post have adverse health effects, I don't see any sources. is there substantive research that would support these claims?

try pinetarsol

After shave contains dht blockers to help reduce the growth of facial hairs. Since you're making tiny cuts on your skin every time you shave these blockers probably go systemic as well.

phytoestrogens != xenoestrogens

Most phytoestrogens are harmless and can actually raise your testosterone levels. I wouldn't worry about most of the food in that pastebin above. Soy is one of the few I actually avoid, partly because they try to put it in everything.

True xenoestrogens like BPA and certain pesticides are the ones that really can fuck you up, especially when you're young and your body is still developing.

>>130018

>What could be a good alternative

Bar soaps from animal/natural sources.

Look at Marseille soap.

Ah yes, BPA. The thing that the body confuses as estrogen. Best to avoid all plastics even bpa free stuff that typically use BPS instead are just as bad. Avoid plastic bottles and basically everything else. Glass is better for drinking.

No, that's the biggest scam of them all, along with eco-friendly and locally produced stuff. Because they can now put a stamp on a regular product and sell it at a higher price, it's basically the same shit anyway.

Use a shower cap and only wash hair once a month. Minimize use of shampoo. Or if you have clean city water just rinse and comb without any soap until wash day

There's a lot of broscience swirling around on the topic but xenoestrogens are definitely real and definitely worth avoiding when you can. And yeah they're probably in your shampoo, especially if you use some basic bitch "Men's 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner" or some shit like that. Switch to a simpler shampoo, or even consider going into some no-poo routine.

Been using no shampoo for the past 5 years and never had any issues. Unless you have a very good reason your hair will be fine with just scrubbing it with your fingers in the shower to get dirt and sweat out. Cheaper and easier as well.

This. Greasy at first but given time to adapt, You're right as rain.

It works only for buzzcuts. People with longer hair, necessarily need something else besides water to get clean.

I have very long thick hair and when I used to live in the city I would wet my hair all the time in the shower. I would use a comb or fingers to give it a quick rinse. Took about an hour to dry but no big deal. It's a shower not a full on head soak like you would with a hair washing.

Only problem is now I don't live in the city and everything here is well water. Either the place has a lot of lime or softener which really fucks with your hair.

Those crystal deodorants may not contain aluminum chlorohydrate, but they are still aluminum based. Use milk of magnesia. You can even buy it online in roll on applicators specifically for deodorant use.

As for the abrasiveness of baking soda; it's one of the least abrasive tooth cleansers out there. Check out a list of various dentifrices and how abrasive they are. They all list plain baking soda as the least abrasive. I think the abrasiveness issue is overhyped. I use an electric toothbrush with one of the most abrasive toothpastes on the market and my teeth have never been better.

Do you have another idea to wash you mouth?

I need a solution; because my teeth are clean, but I have bad breath.

To take care of myself, I use natural soap (Marseilles soap, or Aleppo soap is great). Take great care to check if they're real (like from online website that import directly from France/Aleppo). There is no shit in that.

I use Alun stone too. But it's the same, you ABSOLUTELY need to check if they're really natural, like directly taken (or aggregated from dust) from the crystal.

If you're sure, then it's totaly ok. There is aluminium in it, but the reaction when you use it makes it harmless (I'm talking about aluminium naturally present in the crystal, not the one coming from industrial made crystal).

My only problem right now is mouth washing, and some kind of replacement for hair gel.

With that, I would be totally clean, with pure natural shit that won't destroy my fertility/bring me cancer.
