Why I Ditched the Chemical Hot Tub for Good (And What I Use Instead)
Let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked in the world of wellness: hot tub chemicals.
As a mom committed to holistic health, I read ingredient labels like it’s my second job — from what goes on our skin to what’s in our food. But I didn’t always think about what was floating around in our hot tub water — until I started having skin rashes, issues breathing after I had a ‘relaxing soak’, and my skin felt more irritated than relaxed after getting out of the hot tub.
Sound familiar?
The Hidden Dangers of Chemical Hot Tubs
Most traditional hot tubs use harsh chemicals like chlorine, bromine, and other sanitizers to “keep it clean.” But here’s what they don’t tell you:
💧 Skin irritation & dryness – Chlorine strips the skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry, itchy, or even rashy. Sensitive kiddos? Forget about it.
💧 Respiratory issues – Ever noticed the strong chemical smell? That’s not just unpleasant — it can irritate the lungs, especially for children or anyone with asthma.
💧 Hormone disruption – Long-term exposure to synthetic chemicals (especially in warm water that opens your pores!) can potentially mess with hormone balance — something no mama wants.
💧 Environmental impact – When drained, those chemicals flow right back into nature. As someone who teaches my littles about stewardship, this one hit home hard.
So What’s a Natural Momma to Do?
I started researching alternatives and praise God — I found a chemical-free hot tub solution that actually works. It’s plant-based, effective, and safe for the whole family.
✅ No chlorine
✅ No bromine
✅ No harsh residues
✅ Just pure, natural soaking goodness 🌿
And the best part? It’s only $350 for the whole year — no sketchy refills or monthly mystery charges.
Ready to Ditch the Chemicals Too?
If you’ve been feeling uneasy about what’s really in your hot tub (or your child’s rash has been waving a red flag 👀), I highly recommend making the switch.
