Question 1

What are non-toxic products?

Accepted Answer

Non-toxic products are household, personal care, and baby items made without harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, PFAS, BPA, synthetic fragrance, and other ingredients linked to health concerns. They use safer, often traditional alternatives that are better for your family and the environment.

Question 2

How do I start switching to non-toxic products?

Accepted Answer

Start with the products your family uses most and that have the highest exposure — like skincare, cleaning sprays, and cookware. Our Swap Guide helps you go room by room at your own pace. Even one swap makes a difference.

Question 3

What ingredients should I avoid in household products?

Accepted Answer

Key ingredients to watch for include synthetic fragrance (which can hide phthalates), parabens, PFAS/PFOA (forever chemicals in nonstick coatings), BPA in plastics, SLS/SLES, formaldehyde releasers, triclosan, and flame retardants. Our Ingredient Analyzer can check any product's ingredient list for you.

Question 4

Are natural and organic products always safe?

Accepted Answer

Not always. 'Natural' and 'organic' are sometimes used as marketing terms without strict regulation. Look for third-party certifications like EWG Verified, MADE SAFE, USDA Organic, or GOTS for textiles. Our chat assistant can help you evaluate specific products.
