What does Low-Tox mean?

Low-tox” has popped up all over social media alongside words like “crunchy,” “scrunchy,” and “silky.” These labels often feel like shorthand for what type of content someone posts or the lifestyle they promote. But for me, low-tox isn’t about labels or perfection. It’s about making informed choices.

To me, living low-tox means choosing the safest, cleanest options you can — within your budget, your lifestyle, and your reality — while accepting that perfection is impossible. Because let’s be real: some things are unavoidable. You can avoid fragrances at home, but you can’t control the woman in line spraying ten pounds of perfume before she got there. You can avoid seed oils in your kitchen, but that family dinner at a restaurant? Yeah, everything is cooked in them. Candles? Sometimes you’re at a friend’s house and three are lit in every room. We can’t control everything, and that’s okay.

That’s why I named my shop “Low-Tox.” My goal isn’t to create a world where everyone is perfect. It’s to provide options that lower your body burden and give you the knowledge to make informed choices. On my journey sharing better foods and products online, I’ve seen that everyone’s priorities are different — some people want the absolute best option, others want something that’s safer and affordable. My shop aims to bridge that gap.

Low-tox living isn’t about stress or perfection. It’s about lowering your body burden and still enjoying life. Feeling like you have to make perfect choices all the time is a surefire way to burn out and give up on your health journey.

That said, I am picky about what I share. I don’t promote greenwashed products, and I work with companies that are transparent. To the best of my knowledge, I avoid anything with cancer-causing ingredients or endocrine disruptors. The products and foods in my home matter to me, and I hope that by sharing these options, I can help you make better choices for yourself and your family — without the stress of trying to be perfect.
