What are some good non-toxic products?

Question

I have a serious health issue and want to get away from using products that contain chemicals that my skin will absorb. I have come across a lot of stuff and my brain is overloaded. I am hoping to find people that actually use or know somebody that uses good safe products. I am mostly interesred in hair/body care items, but household products are a huge plus so I could avoid the Mr. Mom look. I would prefer something I can get at a store but online would be alright. A friend wants me to use melaleuca but I don't know if I trust them since the don't list ingredients even though she says the are natural/organic(?) Any advice, tips, whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I make all my own household cleaners. I make my own laundry soap and I use no-poo on my hair. you can make your own skincare products too although I havent personally tried that yet. I use cetaphil on my face. you would probably be surprised how many things you can get clean with just water and a cloth. have you heard of those special microfibre cloths that clean with just water? you could try thouse for your house. I think they might make them for skin as well but Im not sure. if you look up homemade cleaners online you will find a wealth of recipes and resources to help you. it's very easy and cheap and healthy for you and your family!!

here's a link to the best no-poo resource I know of. it sounds kind of extreme at first, but it's really not.
