Home

Welcome to the Low-Tox Home. This is where it all begins — the pans we cook with, the water we drink, the beds we sleep in.

I used to think our home was a safe space by default… until I started digging into what’s actually in our everyday products. From non-stick pans to tap water, sponges to bedsheets — this space is all about the gentle swaps that make your home feel healthier and more supportive for the people you love (without needing to toss everything overnight).

Real science, mum-tested finds, and budget-friendly ways to cut the toxins without losing your mind.

Natural wooden kitchen utensils, bowls, and chopping boards displayed on a countertop — symbolising non-toxic, low-waste alternatives for a healthier home.

Teflon was originally developed to coat tanks and machinery during World War II — not for your morning eggs..

It only found its way into our kitchens decades later, bringing with it a group of chemicals now known as “forever chemicals” — because they don’t break down in the environment or your body.
