Breast Health Month

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November of 2021 and had a double mastectomy in January of 2022. It was a very painful and difficult surgery, but I am one of the lucky women who don't have to go through any further treatments. After my diagnosis I started thinking about what I was putting in and on my body and started looking for clean products. I joined the American Cancer Society through their website and a short time later I received an email from the BCPP. It was in that email that I learned about Primally Pure. I immediately ordered products and have been since. The Primally Pure products are my absolute favorite!! I'm very thankful and happy that such great clean products are available. Thank you for the great work that you do!!”

“...For each hospital visit, I would pack things for my room to keep me positive and high-spirited. I would take out my PP baby bar and my washcloth and I would wash my face, and as much as my body as I could. Throughout my diagnosis and healing journey I did lots of things to detox, heal emotionally and spiritually, and be mentally strong. But without a doubt, there was no way I was using anything on my body besides that Baby Bar. I'd wash my body and I'd repeat - I am healthy. I am loved. God made my body strong. It knows what to do...”

“My breast cancer diagnosis in 2020 has led me to take a look at so many areas of my life, from exercise, to stress levels, to what I'm putting in my body, to what I'm putting on my body. This journey led me to Primally Pure. I trust all of their products and know I'm not putting any toxic ingredients on my skin, to be absorbed into my body. And it doesn't hurt that my skin now also looks and feels amazing at 44!”

..As I awaited my bilateral mastectomy, I did all I could holistically to heal from the inside out (which is why I love Primally Pure products...one change I didn't have to make, as I was already a long time lover of clean ingredients!) and love every cell back to health. My surgical pathology came back with clear margins, no lymph nodes involved and I have stayed the path on holistically healing my body from there. Modern medicine did its work and I did mine and I am forever grateful to be here today, living life with my two children and my husband.

“In July 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 29 and 37 weeks pregnant. I was absolutely terrified for me, my husband, and my baby. During my second chemotherapy infusion, I had an anaphylactic reaction. I experienced another one a few weeks later and confirmed with an allergist that I developed a new chemical allergy to PEG because of my treatment. I had to get rid of almost every skincare item I owned (along with makeup, cleaning products, medications, and so so much more) and find replacements that don't contain PEG, which is surprisingly hard to do. I remembered a friend recommending Primally Pure. I fell in love! We are huge fans and grateful to have access to such high quality products that are safe with this new allergy I have. I am grateful to be here to witness my son experience life and have found new ways to lean into joy in my life when I can.”

“...I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. I started chemo two weeks later, followed up with a year of immunotherapy, and various other surgeries. Two years later and I am now cancer free. I remember the first time I thought about using clean personal care products during my cancer battle. As I learned more and more about the unregulated personal care industry, and as my skin started to respond to products, I decided that it was time to start investing in my post-cancer health. I continue to use Primally Pure deodorant, and other clean personal and skincare products post cancer; but I also regularly discuss the importance of making safer swaps, because we only get one life on this planet.”

“December 2022 I was diagnosed with aggressive ductal carcinoma at age 46 with no real root cause. I was determined to fight and change my lifestyle to incorporate only clean products, real whole foods without seed oils, dairy or sugar. It was amazing when I researched the horrible ingredients found in our everyday products and how difficult it is to find those without! 9 months in and I'm feeling better than ever- cancer is gone, so are the pesky and unknowingly related issues such as eczema, swollen gums & bloat!”

“I was diagnosed with stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer at the age of 30. I had 6 rounds of chemo, 11 more rounds of immunotherapy, 33 radiation treatments, a double mastectomy, and DIEP flap reconstruction. I'm very grateful for my family and friends who have supported me through it all. One of my friends suggested Primally Pure deodorant, and I'm so happy she did!”

“In July 2022 I was diagnosed with an aggressive Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I was 15 weeks pregnant with my son. I began treatment and completed 6 rounds of chemotherapy. I delivered my perfectly healthy son at 35 weeks. I quickly resumed 12 rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and had a masectomy, full lymph node dissection and it was followed by 33 rounds of radiation. Since my diagnosis I have began my low tox/no tox journey. I discovered Primally Pure and am so thankful. I love the deodorant and chapstick so much! I thought going low tox I would have to give up a lot, which in a sense I have, but I am glad there are such wonderful alternatives with Primally Pure.”

“My routine mammogram turned my routine life upside down this year. A suspicious small dark spot led to an ultrasound, a biopsy and then my breast cancer diagnosis of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. I chose to have a Lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) and my surgeon told me that I would need to use an aluminum-free deodorant after surgery. Luckily, my best friend recommended I try Primally Pure deodorant when I first shared my breast cancer diagnosis with her and I've been using it ever since. I'm now introducing my teenage daughter to the brand as well.”

“I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and went through chemotherapy and mastectomy with hopes of being in remission, however it came back in 2019 with evengence and I realized it was either lose my life at 38 years old or make major changes to how I was living. My journey with clean living started in the kitchen, making all my own food to ensure clean, wholesome ingredients, but soon after I started looking into how I could make changes with cosmetics, body care and home products. So thankful I was led by a friend to primary pure, great products, I can feel good about putting on my body!”

“My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 16. I'm so happy to say that after a double mastectomy, a bit of radiation, and early menopause caused by estrogen blockers. She has been cancer free for 10 years now. It made me, and my entire family, deep dive into things that were known for affecting our chances of getting cancer, including; deodorant, perfumes, cleaners, even foods and making sure we stayed active. While it was one of the most challenging times of my life, becoming a mother figure to my 2 younger siblings that year as my mom battled for her life, I'm weirdly super grateful. It made me take the so called "little things" like what deodorant I used, or toothpaste, more seriously. And I learned it's the little things in life that add up to make the most impact.”
