We want to urge you to do your research. Take the time to read ingredient labels carefully, understand what the ingredients are, where they come from, and how they affect your body, your cells, and your brain.

Cookware Coatings to Avoid

Many cookware items like frypans, saucepans, and trays are coated with Teflon or other non-stick materials. While convenient, these coatings are not made with health in mind, and they leach harmful chemicals and microplastics into our foods. Instead, choose cookware made from stainless steel or cast iron.

Plastic in Food Preparation and Storage

Plastic is commonly used in food preparation and storage, but by eliminating plastic from these areas, we can significantly reduce the number of harmful substances that enter our bodies. Choosing wood, glass, or stainless steel can make a big difference in protecting your health.

Harsh, Toxic Household Cleaners

Many household cleaning products are filled with fragrances and chemicals that disrupt hormones and are linked to infertility, chronic migraines, cancer, and other health problems. Natural alternatives like hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar, non-toxic dish soap, baking soda, salt, citrus, and essential oils offer powerful cleaning without the harmful side effects. Be mindful when creating homemade cleaners as some of these ingredients shouldn't be mixed.

Toxic Haircare, Skincare, and Makeup Products

Most conventional self-care and cosmetic products contain harmful ingredients such as phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, and petrolatum. These substances are known endocrine disruptors and have links to reproductive health issues and cancer. Fortunately, many effective and safe self-care products can be made at home, giving you control over what you apply to your skin and eliminating concerns over green washing from so-called “clean” brands.

We are working on a series to show you how to create your own household cleaners, haircare, and skincare products at home using simple, natural ingredients that support your health and wellbeing without disrupting hormones.

Nature provides everything we need to thrive, we don't need to be exposing ourselves to these harmful chemicals in our homes.

Prioritise your family’s health, and watch your lives change for the better.
