In a world filled with harmful ingredients and products promising convenience and beauty, it’s essential to prioritize our health and well-being. One huge step I have made toward achieving this goal for my family is swapping out conventional home, cleaning supplies, baby items, and skincare products for non toxic alternatives.
When I was pregnant with Hattie Mae, I started to become even more conscious about the products that I was using. Our homes should be safe places for our families! Conventional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances that can harm our respiratory systems and pollute the air we breathe. By opting for non toxic cleaning solutions, we reduce indoor air pollution and create a healthier environment for ourselves and our loved ones. This is also why we use air purifiers in our home!

Non-Toxic Home Products
AIRNEX Natural Kitchen Sponge | Glass Food Storage Containers | Davids Natural Toothpaste for Teeth Whitening | Muse Bath Apothecary Hand Ritual | Betterway Bamboo Toilet Paper | Betterway Bamboo Paper Towels | 100% Natural Soy Candle | ECO ROOTS Laundry Detergent Sheets
Non Toxic Baby Products
When it comes to our precious little ones (I have three!), their vulnerability to toxins is even greater. Baby items like cribs, clothing, and toys can contain harmful substances like phthalates and lead. By choosing toxin free options, we’re attempting to protect our children from potential health risks and ensure their safety.

Let’s not forget, lastly, that our skin is our body’s largest organ, and what we apply to it matters. Many skincare products contain parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances that can disrupt our endocrine system and cause skin irritations. Non-toxic skincare products are formulated with natural ingredients that nourish and protect our skin without compromising our health. This is one area I’ve been super transparent in! I’m trying to swap out what I use on my skin with clean ingredients and non-toxic products!

I know this can all be very overwhelming… The first two things I always recommend to start with are your air and water. We had a whole home water filtration system installed in February by Eco Water Systems of Greenville. If a whole home system is out of budget try one like this: linked here.
Another thing I recommend it to only make a swap as you need to replace something and also start with replacing what you use the most! Examples are body wash, toothpaste, lotion etc.
Swapping out your products for safer alternatives is a crucial step towards a healthier and safer lifestyle. Have you made the switch and embraced a more toxin-free lifestyle? Let me know your favorite brands to shop in the comments below as I am always looking at trying new items!
Lastly I wanted to encourage you to remember that no one is 100% toxin-free!
