Glass Food Storage Set
Urban Green
$60
Most glass containers still come with plastic lids that stain, smell, and leach over time. These have glass lids with a silicone seal — truly plastic-free from top to bottom.
Favorite products for life
Every product here is something I own, use, and would buy again with my own money. No sponsored picks, no affiliate hype — just the low-tox things that earned a permanent spot in our home.
The things on my counter and in my drawers. If it leaches, sheds, or chips, it doesn't make the list.

Zip Top
$40
Cannot live without these. They stand up, zip shut, and replace disposable plastic bags for snacks, leftovers, freezer stash, and even sous vide. Dishwasher safe and endlessly reusable.

Ball / Weck
$18
I keep every size on hand — washed veggies, homemade dressings, overnight oats, broth, leftovers. Glass, cheap, and zero weird chemicals. The workhorses of a low-tox kitchen.
Short ingredient lists only. If I can't pronounce it, it's not going on my skin — especially post-transplant.

Attitude
$8
EWG Verified, vegan, and phthalate-free. A clean way to brighten without the junk conventional pastes hide.

Attitude
$11
Our whole household is fragrance-free. My son has eczema, and fragrances can mess with your hormones — gross. This one skips the scent and keeps the clean.

Attitude
$11
Pairs perfectly with the shampoo. No synthetic fragrance, no irritation, just soft hair without the hormone-disrupting extras.

Attitude
$10
What goes on your skin gets absorbed. This body wash is EWG Verified and keeps my shower simple and scent-free.

Attitude
$12
Gentle enough for sensitive skin, clean enough that I don't have to think twice about what I'm slathering on.

Attitude
$7
When you spray something, you breathe it in. I swapped to fragrance-free cleaners so I'm not inhaling fake scents into my lungs.

Attitude
$17
Clothes sit on your skin all day. Fragrance-free laundry detergent means no lingering scent and no unnecessary chemical residue.

Attitude
varies
Most Attitude products are EWG Verified, vegan, and phthalate-free. If you don't know what EWG is, download the app — it tells you the WHY behind every rating and puts the power back in your hands. Coming from a girl who wore Dior Hypnotic Poison through college (IYKYK), going fragrance-free is one of the best swaps I've made.

PRIMALS
$28
My go-to when I travel and don't want to bring my electric toothbrush. Plastic and nylon-free, with a biodegradable bamboo handle and pure boar bristles — no synthetic junk in my mouth.

Nécessaire
$28
A luxury step up from my everyday Attitude pick. Still fragrance-free and clean, but feels more elevated — for when I want the hotel-bathroom experience without the questionable ingredients.

Nécessaire
$28
Pairs with the Nécessaire shampoo. Same fragrance-free, ingredient-conscious approach, just a little more indulgent. No silicones weighing my hair down, no synthetic scent lingering in the shower.

Clean Skin Club
$18
I use these instead of a regular towel to dry my face every day. Regular towels harbor bacteria and detergent residue; these are disposable, biodegradable, and XL size so one does the job.

Macrene Actives
$$$
My splurge-worthy skincare line. Clean, high-performance actives without the fragrance and filler junk. When I invest in my skin, I want it to work — not just smell pretty.
The products we live with matter as much as the food we eat. Clean air, clean surfaces, clean laundry.

Quince
$149
You spend a third of your life in bed. Organic cotton means no synthetic pesticides or finishes pressed against your skin while you sleep.

Quince
$59
Soft, absorbent, and made without the chemical treatments conventional towels often carry. A simple swap that touches your skin every single day.

Avocado
$1,399+
You spend a third of your life sleeping. Avocado mattresses are GOTS-certified organic, non-toxic, and made without polyurethane foam or chemical flame retardants — so you're not breathing in off-gassing all night.

Jolie
$165
Your skin is your largest organ and hot shower water opens your pores. This filter removes chlorine and other contaminants from the water you bathe in every single day.

Medify
$199+
Clean air is non-negotiable in our home. A true HEPA filter catches dust, allergens, and particles you don't want to breathe — especially important post-transplant and for sensitive lungs.

Caboo
$9
Most tissues are bleached tree pulp with fragrance and lotion chemicals. Caboo is made from bamboo and sugarcane, so it's tree-free, unscented, and chlorine-free — better for your face and the planet.

Caboo
$8
Same idea as the tissues: bamboo and sugarcane instead of trees, with no chlorine bleach or weird coatings. The napkin your food touches should be as clean as the food itself.

Reel
$35
Conventional toilet paper is full of bleach, fragrance, and tree pulp. Reel uses bamboo — no trees, no dyes, no scents. A daily swap that actually matters.

AquaTru / ZeroWater
$199+ / $35+
Clean drinking water without the plastic waste of bottled water. AquaTru is my reverse-osmosis pick; ZeroWater is a budget-friendly pitcher option that still strips out the junk. Either beats tap.

Blueland
$18
I've tried a few 'clean' dishwasher tabs and these are the ones that actually work. No white residue on glasses, no harsh fragrance, and the refill system cuts down on plastic.
Everything that goes in a kid's mouth, on a kid's skin, or into a kid's hands gets the strictest audit of all.
Products coming soon — I'm curating my real favorites for this category.
If it doesn't feel right, I make a version at home instead.
