I mean how toxic can a product with TWO ingredients be??⤵️⤵️⤵️ ❌grapefruit seed extract ❌ It sounds innocent and even healthy! But what is it really?? Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is a substance derived from the seeds, pulp, and white membranes of grapefruits. The problem?? It contains traces of benzalkonium chloride → which is toxic!! ➡️“Regarding acute toxicology data, BACs are classified by the EPA as toxicity category lI by the oral and inhalation routes and toxicity category Ill via the dermal route (3). They are also considered to be highly irritating to the eyes and skin (toxicity category l) (3). . Considerable cell toxicity was observed in vitro for human ocular cells exposed to BAC concentrations as low as 0.0001% (22).” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6581159/) ❌I would never recommend these products to any mom for their kiddos! It destroys our cells. And remember, we tend to use the wipes for much more! 🎉The good news is there are some great completely clean options! ⤵️⤵️⤵️For the FULL toxinfree list of completely clean baby products, comment below “BABY” and I will send it your way! . . . . baby toxinfree wipes healthykids nontoxicliving

‼️Crazy but research studies reveals that new clothes can be LOADED with toxic chemicals, bacteria, and even fecal matter!!!

❌Toxic Chemicals- Studies found carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and formaldehyde (up to 900x safe limits!).

❌Bacteria & Fecal Matter- Clothing tested had E. coli, staph, and bodily secretions from factory handling and fitting rooms.

❌Pesticides & PFAS- Skin absorbs residues from synthetic
dyes, pesticides, and stain-resistant treatments.

🙈So nasty! Best recommendation?

Wash new clothes with hot water and TOXINFREE✅ detergent to cleanse from toxins and avoid adding new toxins in

✅Avoid wrinkle-free or stain-resistant fabrics-they’re often
MORE laden with toxic chemicals to MAKE them wrinkle free

New clothes aren’t clean-washing them is a must for your health! Your laundry detergent matters too do you don’t add more nastiness!

‼️Comment below “LAUNDRY” for links to toxinfree options ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Did you know many laundry detergent requires a warning label in certain states that says:

“Contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm”?🙈

It makes me so annoyed that this toxic sludge is still on the shelves of stores everywhere for unknowing consumers to purchase.

Most laundry detergents leave chemical residues on clothes — and we & our kids wear, sleep, and breathe those fabrics all day.

Conventional detergents often contain synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh preservatives that can irritate skin, trigger allergies, and disrupt hormones.

👶Babies and children are especially sensitive because their skin and detox systems are still developing.

Thankfully there are MUCH cleaner options😍

‼️Comment below “COFFEE” for a list of the cleanest coffee brands and coffee makers⤵️⤵️⤵️

Here’s what makes these brands toxic⤵️

❌Mold & mycotoxins
Coffee beans are agricultural products, and like grains, they can develop mold during:

* humid growing conditions
* poor storage or shipping
* improper drying

Some molds produce mycotoxins (like ochratoxin A). These are harmful in high amounts and are not safe for humans.

❌Pesticides & chemicals
Conventionally grown coffee may be treated with:

* pesticides
* herbicides
* fungicides
Residue can remain on coffee beans.

❌Processing contamination
Lower-quality or mass-produced coffee can pick up issues from:

* poor-quality water during processing
* unsanitary equipment
* long storage times leading to degradation

Cheap coffee often uses lower-grade beans (Robusta or damaged Arabica) which are more likely to:

* have mold exposure
* be over-roasted (to hide defects)
* sit in storage longer

Over-roasting can also create compounds like acrylamide❌

🌱Tip: look for⤵️
“toxin-free” or “mold-free” coffee brands that:

* test for mycotoxins
* source higher-quality beans
* use better drying/storage methods
* often sell single-origin or specialty-grade coffee

‼️Comment below “MILK” for a list to the cleanest baby formulas to look for⤵️⤵️⤵️

Findings from Consumer Reports and Lead Safe Mama showed that some formulas tested ✅low or non-detect for heavy metals— which is incredibly important, because even small exposures to metals like lead or arsenic can impact a baby’s developing brain over time.

‼️But here’s the full picture 👇
Some of those same formulas, especially from CR, while low in heavy metals, still contained ❌processed additives, ❌questionable oils, or ❌lower-quality ingredients— which is why i didn’t include them in second list

And another piece to consider 🤍
All experts know that breastfeeding is always the best option. If breastfeeding is an option for you, it can be a powerful way to nourish your baby without these concerns.

➡️Supply is often built through frequent feeding, skin-to-skin contact, staying hydrated, and proper latch/support.

Introducing formula too early because worried baby isn’t eating enough signals your body to produce less milk and eventually it’ll stop altogether.

In the end, whatever you choose, babies rely on what they’re fed every day, so both avoiding contaminants and choosing high-quality nutrition supports their growth and development.

‼️For toxinfree tween and teen options, comment below “DEODORANT” and I will send best options your way⤵️⤵️⤵️

Just because it says natural, gentle, or clean doesn’t mean it’s truly safe — especially for kids and teens. ❌❌❌

Many popular deodorants still contain ingredients linked to endocrine disruption, skin irritation, and toxic buildup over time.

Here are some that look clean but aren’t:
❌Native – Aluminum-free, but still loaded with synthetic fragrance/parfum, which can act as hormone disruptors.
❌Megababe Rosy Pits – Cute and “natural,” yet still uses hidden fragrance blends that rate moderate on toxicity scales.
❌Secret Invisible Solid – Aluminum salts and synthetic fragrance; can irritate young, sensitive underarms.
❌Degree Clinical Protection – Very high aluminum levels; too harsh for growing teens.
❌Dove Dry Spray – Marketed as “gentle,” but includes aluminum and aerosol propellants.
❌Mitchum Roll-On – One of the highest aluminum concentrations on the market.
❌Brut Stick – Contains propylene glycol, dyes, and triclosan — not ideal for anyone, let alone kids.

What to Look For Instead:
✅ Fragrance-free (no “parfum”)
✅ Aluminum-free & paraben-free
✅ EWG-verified or dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin
✅ Simple ingredients — coconut oil, magnesium, or zinc-based formulas

‼️comment below “BOARD” for links to safe & toxinfree cutting boards⤵️⤵️⤵️

➡️Please ditch your plastic cutting boards!! Plastic cutting boards can pose health risks due to the release of microplastics during food preparation.

When chopping or slicing, small plastic particles can be generated and potentially ingested, leading to health concerns.
(ACS.ORG)

Plastic boards can develop deep grooves from knife use, which may harbor bacteria and are difficult to clean effectively. Yuck! (FSIS.USDA.GOV)

While wooden cutting boards are often favored for their durability and knife-friendly surfaces, it’s important to be aware that not all wooden boards are created equal. ⤵️

‼️Some may contain glues or finishes that are not food-safe, potentially leading to health concerns.

‼️Many wooden cutting boards are constructed by bonding multiple pieces of wood together using adhesives which are toxic to humans!

‼️Finishes and Paints: Some boards may be treated with finishes or paints containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or toxic dyes. These substances can leach into food during preparation, posing health risks.

‼️NOT dishwasher safe!!

🎉Thankfully there ARE cleaner dishwasher safe options! Comment below “BOARD” for safer boards I use!

‼️Comment below “CLEAN” for toxinfree all-purpose cleaners⤵️⤵️⤵️

Some cleaning chemicals may remain in the home environment (air, dust, or surfaces).

Potential long-term concerns include:
❌hormone disruption
❌neurological effects
❌possible organ damage from certain chemicals

Children, especially, are vulnerable to the toxic effects of these cleaners.

Because children spend a lot of time indoors and close to the floor, their exposure levels can be higher than adults.

In fact, some research suggests that exposure to household chemicals may influence early brain development.

A study of young children found that frequent use of toxic household cleaners was associated with lower language and cognitive scores by age two.

Higher exposure to household chemicals correlated with decreases in language and cognition.

Scientists believe this may happen because toxic compounds can affect developing brain cells and neural connections.

For such an easy swap, it’s just not worth it!

‼️⤵️Comment below “kettle” and I will send you direct links to the best options!

How often do you use your tea kettle? 🫖 Between making coffee, or a cup of tea, warming up water for oatmeal or making hot cocoa, we use our kettle for literally everything!

Why does it matter what kind of kettle? Because kettles can be made of or contain toxic material that leech into the water in it when heated up!

❌Most toxic kettles to avoid❌
1. Copper kettles
2. Plastic kettles (even bpa-free)
3. Aluminum kettles
4. Glass & stainless steel not tested for lead
5. Glazed shiny kettles

✅Cleanest options✅
1. Stainless steel and glass tested for lead (leadfree)

Seems like a short list 😅 but surprisingly many options for that category🙌🏼

‼️artificial sweeteners have made headlines for their dangers for a while (we know to avoid Splenda, Sweet & Low, etc).

But the “natural” sweeteners like Stevia, monk fruit, date sugar and the like are controversial as well! With SO much chaos with “natural” marketing on labels some clarity is needed! &

So let’s make it easy:

❌here’s the list of what I avoid:
•High-fructose corn syrup – Linked to obesity, fatty liver, insulin resistance.
•Refined sugars (white, brown, powdered, sucrose, dextrose, maltose) – Rapid blood sugar spikes.
•Maltodextrin – Extremely high glycemic index.
•Agave syrup – Very high fructose → liver fat risk.
•Aspartame – Classified by WHO (2023) as possibly carcinogenic.
•Sucralose (Splenda) – May disrupt gut bacteria; mixed metabolic data.

❌❌❌And the newest ingredient to avoid at ALL costs? Xylitol (avoid) – New studies link higher blood levels to increased heart attack & stroke risk, may increase clotting, causes GI distress, and is highly toxic to dogs.

✅ Better Options
•Pure stevia extract (without the xylitol and added ingredients)
•Monk fruit extract (without xylitol)
•Organic raw honey
•Organic pure maple syrup- (family favorite)
•Unsulphured molasses
•Dates / date paste
•Mashed banana / applesauce
•Coconut palm sugar
�✔ Whole-food sweeteners in moderation will ALWAYS be better than refined sugar!

Lowest heavy metals detected in:
✅Simply organic (overall best choice because glass & organic)
✅Badia
✅Tones
✅Kirkland Signature
✅El Guapo

‼️Conventional spices are found to have high levels of lead and are treated with:

❌Synthetic pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides)
❌Irradiation
❌Fumigation (to control insects in storage)

In blends of spices:
❌Anti-caking agents (like silicon dioxide)
❌hidden MSG or added artificial flavors
❌Artificial colors or preservatives

Highest levels of toxicity found in: La Flor, McCormicks, Great Value, Penzy’s and Spice Island🙈

🌱Choose Organic Spices whenever possible 🌿
✅No synthetic pesticides
✅No artificial colors or preservatives
✅Fewer additives or fillers
✅Same natural antioxidants and plant compounds

Spices are incredibly powerful and medicinal! They can support digestion & metabolism, provide antioxidants & anti-inflammatory compounds, boost circulation & immunity and enhance mood.

‼️Artificial fragrance is the new secondhand smoking 🙈

Did you know research shows that the air in our home is actually more ❌toxic❌ than that outside of our home?

And this is primarily due to all of the use of artificial fragrances that we use in our home from daily cleaners to plug-ins and candles!

🎉Good news? There ARE toxinfree companies that make great home scents with no detrimental effects!!

Here are 4 ways to naturally keep your home smelling clean without candles and toxins⤵️⤵️⤵️

Tip 1: always have orange peels and cinnamon simmering on your stovetop! Add in some vanilla and your home will smell delicious!

Tip 2: there is an awesome plug in company called @scentfill that makes totally clean products to use in our home

Tip 3: regularly burp your home (comment below if you don’t know what that means!)

Tip 4: you can still utilize essential oils but do your research on certain blends and their safety! I only use 2 companies for my oil blends (not the popular ones)

‼️Comment below “DEO” for the full list with links to clean options!⤵️⤵️⤵️

❌So many mainstream formulas are loaded with ingredients that don’t belong anywhere near your lymph nodes, breast tissue, or bloodstream.

🚫 Aluminum compounds – block sweat glands, but have been linked to cellular changes in breast tissue. Ongoing studies question long-term exposure.

🚫 Fragrance (parfum) – a legal loophole that hides hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including phthalates, allergens, and endocrine disruptors.

🚫 Triclosan – an antibacterial agent banned in soaps but still used in some deodorants; it can disrupt thyroid hormone signaling.

🚫 Propylene glycol – used for absorption, but can irritate sensitive skin and is derived from petroleum.

🚫 BHT & parabens – preservatives with potential links to hormone disruption and skin irritation.

In fact: Health experts recommend avoiding added undisclosed fragrances altogether—especially for pregnant individuals or children—since even small cumulative exposure can have measurable effects over time

Look for: A deodorant that’s fragrance-transparent, and actually tells me what’s in it. No greenwashing. No question marks. 🙌⁠

🎉So grateful for cleaner options making this swap an EASY one!

‼️Even the powders have blue bits in them!

Here’s why⤵️⤵️⤵️

They are chemicals called optical brighteners that make your clothes LOOK like they are brighter! Are they really brighter?
No! It’s an effect!

These chemicals literally stick to our clothes to make them LOOK brighter! Our clothes literally have a layer of chemical artificial dyes attached to the fibers!!!

“The blue dye plays a trick on your eyes, and when you’re looking at the color of your clothes, the mellow blue dye contrasts against the color of your clothing, making it pop!” “
What a dirty trick!!!!!! ❌❌❌

Do you think these are safe? Absolutely not!

These chemicals are allergens and have linked to:
❌hives
❌skin rashes sneezing
❌eczema

They also stick around forever and end up in our drinking water!

‼️⤵️Comment below “CRIB” for links to cleanest baby mattress options⤵️⤵️⤵️

Most conventional crib mattresses are made with toxic materials like ❌❌❌❌ polyurethane foam, flame retardants, PVC, and synthetic adhesives. These chemicals don’t just stay in the mattress—they off-gas into the air your baby breathes all night long.

🔬 What’s in most crib mattresses?
❌ Flame Retardants – Linked to hormone disruption & developmental issues.
❌ Polyurethane Foam – Off-gasses VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can irritate the lungs and nervous system.
❌ PVC & Phthalates – Found in waterproof covers, these chemicals are associated with respiratory issues and endocrine disruption.

😨 Why is this a problem?
Babies spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping, meaning they have prolonged exposure to these harmful toxins. Studies have even found that crib mattresses release higher levels of VOCs when warmed by body heat.

✅ What to do instead?
✔ Choose a certified non-toxic mattress – Look for organic, GOTS-certified, or GREENGUARD Gold options.
✔ Opt for natural materials – Wool, cotton, and latex are safer alternatives.
✔ Avoid waterproofing chemicals – Use an organic cotton mattress cover instead.

‼️Most parents are told to start with food.

But pediatric dermatology often starts with contact irritants.

Laundry detergent residue is one of the most overlooked triggers for sensitive skin.

Things to watch for:
• Fragrance (even “natural fragrance”)
• Optical brighteners
• Fabric softener
• Scent beads
• Overdosing detergent

If you’ve tried everything, reducing skin irritant load can make a real difference for your child’s health.

➡️Note: I have to add: I don’t believe in kids taking vitamins for nutrition. Here’s why⤵️

So many times we supplement a poor diet with vitamins but it’s really WAY better for kids to get their actual nutrients from whole organic foods!

➡️That being said, if bloodwork reveals an actual deficiency and child may not be able to properly absorb nutrients from foods so, of course supplementing is crucial!

But get that bloodwork done first!

Not all vitamins are created equally! All the vitamins in the ditch slide contain at least 2-3 of the ingredients I avoid!

‼️Comment below “COOK” and I will send these suggestions your way!⤵️⤵️⤵️

At one time every single cooking product I owned (all 2 of them 😅) were nonstick. Oh the convenience of NOT having to spend endless hours cleaning!

That’s why these products sell. For convenience. But what if I told you that the cost of this convenience was allowing our bodies to soak in all the toxic chemicals these products are made of?⤵️

😡Nonstick cookware is made of a group of man-made chemicals called PFAS (perfluoroalkyl & polyfluoroalkyl substances) which are “forever chemicals”. As in they never disappear, they’re always around. So what?

Research now shows these toxins are linked to or are:
❌hormone disruption
❌developmental delays in kids (yikes!)
❌immunity issues
❌carcinogens

Teflons were banned by FDA so if you own any product made of Teflon toss it out!!

“Even if you have a nonstick pan that’s considered safe, if the nonstick coating on a pan gets chipped or scratched, it could become less safe. The scratches or damage may make it more likely that PFAS molecules will get into the food you’re cooking and could then hitch a ride into your body. ”

🎉Good news! There are obviously amazing cookware products NOT made with these toxins and are leadfree🙌🏻

Most conventional (and even some “cleaner”)
toothpaste tubes include a warning: 🙈

“If more than used for brushing is swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.”

Let that sink in.

We brush our teeth at least twice a day, even three times, teaching kids to do the same - yet we’re using products that contain artificial dyes, sulfates, sweeteners, and even potential carcinogens!!!

‼️Your mouth is one of the most absorbent parts of your body. So why risk daily exposure to chemicals flagged by poison control?

Best options? Look For:
✅Hydroxyapatite - natural enamel support
✅Baking Soda - gentle cleanser and whitener
✅Aloe Vera - soothes gums
✅Essential Oils - peppermint, tea tree, clove for freshness and bacteria control

There are even ways to clean your teeth without toothpaste altogether!👀

‼️Comment below “CREAM” for the cleanest baby diaper rash creams!⤵️⤵️⤵️

Babies’ skin is 20-30% thinner and more absorbent than adults’ skin especially in the diaper area where it’s warm and moist. That means ingredients can absorb more easily.

Baby skin also has a weaker protective barrier and is often inflamed or irritated in the diaper area.

When skin is compromised (like during diaper rash), it can absorb ingredients even more readily.

That’s why gentler, non-toxic ingredients are preferred! Thankfully the clean options are more common than the conventional ones🎉

You know that “new shower curtain” smell? It’s also the characteristic smell of inflatable toys and kids pools? It’s actually harming your health⤵️⤵️⤵️

What actually causes that smell? It’s the release of volatile organic compounds or VOC that’s released from PVC plastic liners!

❌Here’s the scary part: “new PVC shower curtain will release VOCs that exceed the guidelines for indoor air quality established by the U.S. Green Building Council”

Oh and that’s when they’re NOT ‼️heated or steamed by a shower (which increases concentrations!)

Is PVC-free enough? Ditch plastic altogether! You’re better off with options such as organic cloth or adding glass doors instead (which we did)

‼️Comment below “BABY” for a full list of cleanest baby shampoos and products⤵️⤵️⤵️

A baby’s skin is thinner and more permeable than an adult’s. That means chemicals can be absorbed more easily into their body, not just sit on the surface.

Their organs are still developing: Babies’ livers, kidneys, and immune systems aren’t fully mature yet. Harsh chemicals (like sulfates, parabens, or synthetic fragrances) are harder for them to process and eliminate.

❌Some common ingredients in non-toxin-free products are linked to:
-Allergic reactions
-Hormone disruption (especially concerning during early development)

Reducing exposure early can help lower long-term risks.

If you see the phrase “anti microbial treatment” on the back of the box of w-tips, this innocent looking product is dipped in ❌triclosan❌.

‼️Comment below “PLATES” for the list of leadfree plates, bowls and kitchen products without lead⤵️⤵️⤵️

First why does it matter?!

“Lead builds up in the body, which means that long-term exposure of even low levels of lead can have negative health effects such as depression, constipation, high blood pressure, reduced fertility, kidney disease, and a plethora of other issues in adults, according to the CDC”

“There are no safe levels of lead, Consumers should be vigilant and not only consider checking their blood levels for lead, but their water, too, which can be a significant source of exposure”

“A 2018 study published in The Lancet found that nearly 30 percent of premature cardiovascular disease deaths in the United States may be due to lead exposure. The study followed 14,300 people for nearly 20 years. People with high levels of lead in their blood had a 70 percent greater risk of death by cardiovascular disease, and a 37 percent greater risk of premature death for any cause.”

❌Avoid⤵️
* antique or vintage plates
* Choose plain white or minimally decorated dishware
* Look for “lead-free” or food-safe labels
* Don’t use chipped or cracked plates
* Be cautious with handmade or imported ceramics

Especially since there are some awesome brands committed to providing quality products and regularly test for heavy metals!
