What makes a personal care product truly healthy? It's a question that millions of athletes, parents, and health-conscious consumers ask every day as they scan ingredient lists and marketing claims. The answer isn't as simple as slapping "natural" on a label or avoiding one or two controversial ingredients.
The truth is, most personal care products on the market today fail basic health standards. They're loaded with synthetic chemicals, untested additives, and questionable preservatives that can disrupt your skin's natural balance and potentially harm your long-term health.
At CLAYER, we've established a new standard for what healthy personal care truly means. It's not just about what we remove from our formulations: it's about what we put in, how we test it, and who stands behind it.
The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Products
Walk down any personal care aisle and you'll see products marketed as "gentle," "natural," or "dermatologist tested." But here's what most brands don't tell you: these terms are largely unregulated and can be misleading.
Many products labeled as "non-toxic" still contain synthetic fragrances, aluminum compounds, parabens, and other chemicals that can cause skin irritation, hormonal disruption, or allergic reactions. The personal care industry operates with minimal oversight, allowing brands to use thousands of ingredients that have never been properly tested for long-term safety.
Research shows that the average person applies over 120 chemical ingredients to their skin daily through personal care products. Your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it, making ingredient quality absolutely critical for your health.
The CLAYER Healthy Standard: Five Non-Negotiable Criteria
What makes a personal care product truly healthy according to the CLAYER standard? Every product must meet five strict criteria before it earns our seal of approval.
1. 100% Natural, Non-Toxic Ingredients
Our foundation starts with certified 100% natural, non-toxic ingredients. No compromises, no synthetic alternatives, no "nature-identical" chemicals. Our deodorant line contains zero aluminum, zero parabens, zero alcohol, zero artificial fragrances, and zero colorants.
This isn't just about avoiding harmful chemicals: it's about harnessing the power of ingredients that actively benefit your skin and body. Our French healing clay, for example, naturally absorbs toxins, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster healing without any synthetic additives.
2. Scientific Validation and Clinical Testing
Healthy products must be scientifically proven, not just marketed. Every CLAYER formulation undergoes rigorous testing to validate its safety and effectiveness. We don't rely on marketing claims: we rely on measurable results.
Our healing clay has been studied extensively for its antimicrobial properties, ability to reduce inflammation, and capacity to draw out toxins from the skin. These aren't ancient remedies without modern validation: they're time-tested ingredients backed by contemporary science.
3. Professional Medical Endorsement
A truly healthy product should be recommended by medical professionals who stake their reputation on results. CLAYER products are recommended by sports doctors who work with elite athletes across the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC, PGA, Olympics, and NCAA.
These aren't paid endorsements: they're genuine recommendations from medical professionals who see the results firsthand with their patients and athletes. When doctors who treat the world's top performers choose CLAYER, that speaks volumes about our safety and effectiveness.
4. Independent Third-Party Certification
Claims without verification are just marketing. That's why our deodorant line achieves a perfect 100/100 Yuka health score: something no other athletic brand can claim. Yuka is an independent app that analyzes product ingredients and rates them for health impact.
This perfect score isn't luck: it's the result of carefully selecting every ingredient based on its safety profile and eliminating anything that could harm your health. We also maintain certifications for being doping-free, cruelty-free, and made in the USA under strict quality standards.
5. Functional Health Benefits
Truly healthy products don't just avoid harm: they actively promote wellness. Our formulations work to absorb toxins, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing to your fascia, muscles, joints, and skin. This connects "healthy" to measurable physiological outcomes, not just marketing promises.
Why Conventional "Healthy" Products Fall Short
Most brands focus on removing one or two controversial ingredients while ignoring the dozens of other questionable chemicals in their formulations. They'll proudly advertise "paraben-free" while still using synthetic fragrances that can trigger allergic reactions or disrupt hormones.
This piecemeal approach to health isn't good enough. A truly healthy product requires a complete commitment to safety, from the sourcing of raw materials to the final manufacturing process.
Many "natural" products also lack the functional benefits that make them worth using. They might be safe, but they don't deliver the performance that active individuals need. At CLAYER, we refuse to compromise between safety and effectiveness.
The CLAYER Difference: Where Science Meets Nature
Our commitment to health goes beyond ingredient lists. We source our healing clay from specific regions of France where the mineral composition and purity meet our strict standards. This isn't generic clay with a fancy label: it's a carefully selected, scientifically validated ingredient with proven therapeutic properties.
Every batch is tested for heavy metals, contaminants, and purity to ensure it meets our safety standards. We maintain complete traceability from source to shelf, so you know exactly what you're putting on your skin.
Our manufacturing processes are equally rigorous. We use small-batch production to maintain quality control and ensure every product meets our standards. No mass production shortcuts, no corner-cutting to reduce costs.
Professional Athletes Trust CLAYER for a Reason
When professional athletes choose personal care products, they can't afford to compromise on health or performance. Their bodies are their livelihood, and they need products that support their demanding training and competition schedules.
That's why athletes across major sports leagues choose CLAYER. They know our products deliver results without exposing them to harmful chemicals that could impact their performance or long-term health.
