Why the MAHA Movement Forgot Your Face (And Why That’s a Big Problem)
Share
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, championed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is on a noble quest to wake people up to the toxic mess we’ve been living (and eating) in. Seed oils? Enemy number one. Pharma? Not your friend. Processed food? Basically edible poison.
But while MAHA warriors are valiantly battling food industry lies, corporate greed, and the Great Seed Oil Conspiracy, they’re missing something big—skincare. Yep, while everyone’s out here rage-quitting canola oil, they’re still slathering chemical sludge all over their bodies.
If You Care About What Goes In Your Body, You Should Care About What Goes On It
You wouldn’t chug a bottle of vegetable oil (I hope), but if you’re using mainstream skincare, you’re basically marinating yourself in the same inflammatory junk. Think of it this way: if your skin were a mouth, it would be gagging right now.
Here’s what’s lurking in that “clean” moisturizer you got at Whole Foods:
• Seed Oils – The very things MAHA folks have exiled from their kitchens are sneaking in through their skincare. Grapeseed oil? Sunflower oil? It’s the same oxidized, pro-inflammatory mess, just disguised as “hydration.”
• Endocrine Disruptors – Parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances… you know, the things that send your hormones into a chaotic tailspin. If you’re avoiding estrogenic soy, why are you rubbing estrogen-mimicking chemicals on your face?
• Petrochemicals – Many lotions and creams are loaded with literal petroleum byproducts. That’s right—Big Oil isn’t just in your gas tank; it’s in your moisturizer.
• Antimicrobial Overkill – Much like overuse of antibiotics wrecks your gut, preservatives like benzyl alcohol and phenoxyethanol obliterate your skin’s microbiome. Your skin should be a thriving ecosystem, not a nuclear wasteland.
Why Is No One in MAHA Talking About This?
Good question. Maybe because the beauty industry is sneaky—they’ve mastered the art of marketing nonsense. Even the “natural” brands are guilty. Ever seen a product brag about being “paraben-free” while still packed with synthetic stabilizers and seed oils? Yeah, that’s how they get you.
It’s also possible that people just don’t think of skincare as a health issue. They’re so focused on detoxing their diets, they forget that the skin is an organ—a highly absorbent, porous organ that drinks up whatever you put on it. If you’re worried about the trace amounts of glyphosate in food, maybe also worry about the literal carcinogens in your daily skincare routine.
The MAHA-Approved Solution: Skincare That Makes Sense
If the MAHA movement is all about returning to an ancestral approach to health, then the same logic should apply to skincare. Because guess what? Your great-great-great-grandparents weren’t using benzophenone-infused SPF 50 and synthetic retinol serums. They were using animal-based, biologically compatible fats—because that’s what the skin actually recognizes.
Here’s what makes sense for human skin:
• Tallow & Leaf Lard – Nature’s original moisturizers. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins, perfectly structured for human skin, and non-oxidizing. Plus, your skin won’t have to guess what to do with it—it knows.
• Colostrum & Animal-Based Extracts – Packed with growth factors and bioavailable nutrients. If it’s good enough for newborn mammals, it’s good enough for your face.
• Minimal, Transparent Ingredients – No hormone disruptors, no petrochemicals, no sneaky seed oils. If you can’t pronounce it and wouldn’t eat it, why would you rub it on your skin?
Time for MAHA to Level Up
The MAHA movement has done an incredible job exposing food industry corruption, medical gaslighting, and the slow poisoning of the American population. But if it really wants to Make America Healthy Again, it needs to stop ignoring skincare.
Because health doesn’t stop at your plate—it extends to your largest organ, too.
So, MAHA warriors, it’s time to ditch the seed-oil serums, break up with Big Beauty, and start treating your skin like the smart, self-regulating, biologically brilliant organ it is.
America needs a skincare revolution. Let’s Make Our Faces Healthy Again, too.
