I am not paid for sharing other pages. They are my personal recommendations for some of the resources I follow and use.
1. A link to all of my posts on my Facebook page, organized into albums. Categories include:
Cleaning, Fragrances and Germs
Beauty and Personal Care Products
Environmental Issues, Toxicity, Tips
2. Natural Baby Mama is the best (in my opinion) non-toxic blog and group on Facebook. You can search the group for a wealth of info, or ask questions if they haven’t been answered already! This was my top recommendation even before I was asked to be a moderator (which I was honored to accept).
3. Lead Safe Mama website/ blog and Facebook group explains so much about why lead is harmful and which products have it, with testing results.
4. EWG Databases and resources including the Skin Deep Database; Search each ingredient (for personal care and cleaning products) rather than looking at overall product ratings. Also the cleaning guide database. And, the dirty dozen lists. However, I thought this was an interesting article about some of the discrepancies with EWG, but I still think it is a valuable resource.
A similar resource is available from the National Institute for Health. Here is how to use it.
5. Using Essential Oils Safely. And Scentsable Heath. I’m including these because I believe that improper use of EOs/ using near children or pets can be toxic, but there are ways to use safely.
6. Dr. Annie’s Germ Experiments. Keep in mind she isn’t trying to be non-toxic so I avoid some of the things she uses, but you can see which products/ methods are effective and then choose the less toxic ones.
7. I recommend joining at least one mold group on Facebook. Here is one example: Mold Avoidance Community
8. A great group to learn about mitigating parasites is: The Truth About Parasites: How We Heal
9. This is a helpful group about the dangers of Miralax: Parents Against Miralax Restoralax Movicol (PEG 3350)
10. Here is a group about heavy metals in food: CleanFoodGuardians Heavy Metal Warriors
