Do It Yourself — Recipes for Homemade Products

Unsafe and untested chemicals are used in so many products that we are exposed to everyday that it is impossible to shop our way out of the problem. Consumers don’t have enough information about what is in products and often, safe alternatives aren’t widely available. That said, it still makes sense to eliminate known exposures to chemicals in the things you and your family use- while at the same time advocating for everything on store shelves to be safe.

One fun and inexpensive way to replace toxic products with safer alternatives is to make your own.
