What makes a house a home? While “home” might look a little different to everyone, this is what it looks like to me: Home should feel safe. Home should be sacred. Home should be rejuvenating. Home should be a visual representation of the things I love. Home should be filled with love. With these values at the core of my home, they extend beyond the neighborhood I live in or the people who live there.
The household products I use directly contribute to my family’s and my safety, our sanctuary for revitalization, and the love we show ourselves. That said, I make sure to prioritize utilizing clean, non-toxic products throughout my home. Here is a list of some of my favorites that I’d recommend you welcome into your home, too:
Branch Basics Dishwasher Tablets
I love spending time in the kitchen, whether developing new plant-powered recipes or simply whipping up a healthy mid-afternoon snack. But with cooking inevitably comes cleaning, and a good cleaning is important to me. Not only do I want my dishware to be sanitized, but I also want it to be free of harmful preservatives that would enter my body when I eat. I love these dishwasher tablets because they are human-safe, plant-based, non-GMO, and fragrance-free.
Cymbiotika Multi-Purpose Cleaner
This multi-purpose cleaner is sourced from unique compounds and plant extracts to create a non-toxic, effective, and safe cleaner. Use it to wipe down any surface, from countertops to children’s toys, without worrying about introducing unwanted toxins into your space. Plus, who doesn’t want their home smelling like fresh tangerines?
This brand is all about making safe products for a clean home, body, and mind. This soap is natural, non-toxic, pH-balanced, and eco-friendly. It smells incredible and leaves my hands feeling clean while giving me peace of mind. They also have dish soap, which is another one of my faves!
The products we use on our clothes pass through our skin and can compromise our health if we’re not conscientious about ingredients. This laundry detergent is gentle yet effective. It is USDA Certified Organic and free from phosphates, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, and dyes, making it an excellent product I trust for my laundry.
Dryer Balls and Essential Oils
When it comes to dryer balls and essential oils for keeping my laundry extra fresh, I’m not too particular about the brand. What I care about most is that they are 100% natural, safe for my skin, and easily accessible. So, I often do an Amazon search for these necessities—I always read ingredient lists and product descriptions to ensure I select worthy products.
Lighting a candle really helps me set the mood—it can liven up a space or help me wind down after a long day. This candle takes things one step further: It uses a blend of beeswax and coconut wax to produce negative ions that purify and detoxify the air. I love it when a product not only looks and smells good but also does good.
Oak Essentials Awaken Body Wash
As someone who takes pride in her commitment to aging gracefully, I can’t say enough good things about this brand. This body wash is one of my shower staples, as it’s formulated without silicones, colorants, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, PEGs, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, and nanoparticles. Instead, it has simple ingredients meant to gently cleanse and nourish the skin. I especially love pairing this body wash with their hydrating body balm.
Attitude Fabric Refresher for Pets
This fabric refresher is amazing at neutralizing unwanted odors from cushions to curtains. It’s formulated with plant and mineral-based ingredients, such as zinc ricinoleate, so it’s pet-friendly, too! Our pets are family and deserve the same love and safe treatment we show our humans.
While this list mostly consists of non-toxic products I use inside the home, I can’t forget to mention the importance of using safe products outside the home. We breathe in lawn care products when we open our windows or step out for what we think is some fresh air. This brand creates planet-friendly lawn products from quality ingredients like iron, seaweed, and nitrogen to cultivate healthy soil for your yard and build a better planet.
