@allisonintx 1- Yuka app, you scan or search barcodes for cosmetics and food and it gives you a score from bad to excellent and tells you all the additives.
2- Learn the dirty dozen. I don’t buy every last thing organic but those are the most important to try and stick to. I’m weird about meat, dairy and eggs and try to research the sources as much as possible.
3- Avoid fragrances. “Fragrance” in ingredients can basically mean anything and it’s always completely unnecessary. Read the ingredients, sometimes things labeled “unscented” still have fragrance in the ingredients.
4- Reasearch your cleaning products and detergents.
5- Slowly replace your linens and clothing with natural fibers, you don’t need to toss everything out at once. Slowly replace plastic (tupperware, bottles) with glass or metal where possible.
