Nontoxic Laundry Products

So many big name companies sell products that contain some questionable ingredients. I'm swapping to products that clean well and DON'T contain those harmful ingredients.

Completely non-toxic dryer sheets that are plant-based, biodegradable and truly safe for people & the planet! They have peppermint, Lavender or unscented options. They also have a discounted subscription plan!

All Natural Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets

Safe for all washable fabrics, treats 99% of stains and super easy to use. Spray it onto the stain, let it sit for like 15 minutes and throw it in the washer!

Natural Stain Remover

It’s made without the use of dyes, synthetic fragrances, or optical brighteners. The fresh lavender scent comes from 100% essential oils and formulated with botanical ingredients for a smell that’s refreshing, not overpowering. 4 scent options!

Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent

Sweet garden scent made without artificial colors, pythalates, and more.

Non-toxic plant and mineral based products in a variety of categories. I discovered that it's cheaper on their website compared to buying off Amazon. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Water filters

We use and consume water constantly! I own a Berkey water filter, but there are a lot of reliable brands out there with a lot of different price ranges and styles. Let me know what your favorite brand is!

I only drink filtered water - I got a Berkey about 6 months ago and I love it. A bit pricy, but absolutely worth it

Candles and melts

I love burning candles - allowing the scent to take over the room for a perfect vibe! Unfortunately, the candles that we all know and love contain harsh and toxic chemicals that get released into the air. I've been researching different brands that d...

Light a soy candle, which is safer than normal wax candles

Basil Soy Candle

Refillable and there are 7 scent options - they also change their seasonal scents. Refills are cheaper than normal candles - I think it's worth it and the scent fills the room within 10ish minutes of lighting it!

Arbor Made | Refillable & Eco-Friendly Candles

Happy Wax believes in fragrance without the compromise - no parabens or phtalates, no cheap paraffin wax. This is a great option if you enjoy wax melts vs open flame candles.

Oral care

Many conventional toothpastes and mouthwashes contain harsh chemicals that can pollute water supplies and damage ecosystems. Many of these chemicals are also toxic to humans.

Ever heard of oil pulling? - swish it in your mouth for 10-15min before you brush your teeth and spit it out in the garbage so it doesn't clog your drains! Good to help whiten your teeth and cleanse out bad bacteria. I also use it to shave sometimes!

Coconut Oil

This toothpaste has a minty gritty feel to it making it feel like your teeth are really getting cleaned. Heads up- it's brown because it's made from clay! My boyfriend wasn't a fan, but he likes the Hello brand!

Zion Health Claybrite Extra Strength Toothpaste, 4 Ounce

I honestly like these toothbrushes more than the plastic ones!

Bamboo Toothbrush

This brand uses non-toxic ingredients and they have fluoride free options as well. I try to limit our fluoride exposure. They have a very satisfying clean and minty feeling - my favorite non-toxic toothpaste for sure!

I used these strips for my friends wedding and they really work! They are nontoxic and they didn't make my teeth or gums sensitive at all.

Air purification

Air purification aids in preventing the spread of illnesses and keeps the allergens and pollutants at a minimum.

I have seasonal allergies and I live with a cat that I'm allergic to - so naturally, air purification is HIGH up on my essentials list. They can help take toxins out of the air and increase your overall air quality. They have a wide variety of prices...

Air Purifiers

Replacement filters come in a 2 pack from Amazon for much cheaper than Levoit's website.
