Non-Toxic Hygiene(learning these was EXHAUSTING)

So you know I react to a lot of the mainline products right, guess what else I react to? Freaking essential oils. So that means I am basically allergic to everything natural and non-natural. When I tell you I have spent hundreds of hours trying to fi...

This is the cheapest and gentlest Castile soap I've tried. Don't accidentally buy fresh scent like I did. 🤦‍♀️😂😩

I don't LOVE this, but I don't react to it, and it does actually condition so unfortunately it's better than anything I've tried so far!

This is the ONLY bug spray I can use safely. Don't get the smooth and dry. I spent literally days researching least toxic bug sprays for kids and most effective and this was the best thing I could find, and I don't react to it so there's that.

This is my splurge. When I'm really sad from missing fragrances and fun products, I get this to cheer myself up a bit. I know it sounds silly, but the slight naturallly occurring scent of calendula and aloe Vera is really nice.

Non-Toxic Babytime

I am VERY particular when it comes to baby, and I'm on baby #3, so I have this down to a science. This is what works for me.

I EWG and Think Dirty everything before I use it, and these are my ONLY wipes. They had good scores, but they are also hardy enough that they don't tear in my hands as I'm changing an upside down toddler, and they are soft enough that I don't feel li...

There are some bad reviews on these, but it has not been my experience at all. I can only use Kirkland Diapers or these on my newest babe because everything else either leaks or gives him a rash. Also, they are unscented so I am not having an allergi...

Use this for colds. Seriously. I use ONLY this saline for everyone in our house, no other kind. Some add stuff in that makes it sting. This is the best.

This stuff is a miracle. It didn't work on all our kids, but when it did work it worked so well that whenever they are teething, they would come looking for it and bring it to me. THEY KNOW.

Non-Toxic Cleaning Supplies

I developed so many sensitivities when my second little was born. Bad news for me, BUT good news for you, because I have a reaction to anything that has hormone disrupters or fragrances in it. I'm like the human litmus test. I also check all my produ...

I swear by this laundry detergent. I've been using it since my oldest was born and it kept her baby clothes so perfect and WHITE! I know some people have issues with them, but I've tried switching and absolutely nothing has been able to compete for m...

When I tell you the sigh of relief I let out when Clorox released these. Did I cry and pray in thanksgiving? Maybe but you don't need to know that.

I almost never buy just one of these at a time. They are good for everything around the house, cleaning germy stuff when you’re out with kids, sparkling windows, and they fit in your car cup holder, it’s nothing short of a mom miracle.

I was devastated when I realized I was having reactions to oxiclean. For years I bragged about how I still wore white clothes. But now they made this! Bragging rights restored.

Weeds to kill? Make a mixture of 1 gallon of this, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and they will be gone forever. Please don’t spray this on your flowers you will hate me forever and I will be sad.

I finally have some mascara to use after literally 5 years of no makeup at all. I can’t tell you how fun it feels everytime I put this on. Also, it makes my eyes feel BETTER not worse-which I’m guessing is because of the conditioning peptides whateve...
