In today’s world, some of the most dangerous things that affect our health are things we willingly expose ourselves to on the daily. And some of these things might not be what you expect! I sure as heck didn't expect some of the products I thought were safe and green and natural to be hugely toxic - with some crazy misleading marketing.
In fact, you might be completely oblivious to the fact that the products we use on ourselves, in our home, on our children, and in our everyday lives, could be the very things that are contributing to why we’re sick, why we have health problems, why we struggle emotionally, and why we are not living a life full of wellness, purpose, and abundance.
The only company I trust that has products with NONE of the toxic ingredients in question, that is even better than the “organic” label, and that only contains the purest of plant based ingredients, is Young Living. While they are an essential oil company, they are also a fully-equipped natural products company. They have supplements, beauty products, household cleaning products, stuff for kids and babies, home purifiers, bath and shower products, oral care, and yes - even makeup! This makes it easy to simply ditch the products you’re currently using, and replace it with something Young Living has instead. It is your one-stop-shop for all things you will need for yourself, for your home, for your children, and for your health.
For over 27 years, Young Living has been the world leader in producing and guaranteeing 100% pure and potent therapeutic grade essential oils and plant based products. They’ve got this standard called “Seed to Seal”, which places them in a higher category than any other company in the world. Basically, what “seed to seal” means, is from the time the seed of the plant is sourced, until it is put into an essential oil bottle or a plant based product, Young Living applies the most rigorous quality controls possible to ensure that you are receiving the product exactly the way nature intended it to be. Simply put, the only thing inside the essential oil bottle is the plant itself – no additives, fillers, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or dyes (which is NOT the same for store bought essential oils, hence why other brands can be dangerous). The same goes for all of their products – the only ingredients within the products are the ones listed on the label, and they are all plant based. Not one single ingredient is synthetic, toxic, or chemically derived.
In fact, you can go to EWG.org or use the Think Dirty app to view the toxicity of the products you are using. Most all products you are using, even the organic ones, have ingredients with levels that rank all the way up to a 10, 10 being the most toxic. With all of Young Living’s products, their ingredients have levels that rank nothing higher than a 1 or a 2. This goes to show and prove that there is no other company out there with safer, higher quality products – products that are also supporting your wellness, and not destroying it.

OKAY, let’s dive in. First let’s start with the bad news & then work our way to the SOLUTIONS. Did you know that the average home contains cleaners, personal care products, & foods that contain harmful chemicals that cause a wide variety of harm from hormone disruption, to allergies, to potentially even cancer?
You may be surprised to learn that 93% of all poisonings occur in the home - not in industrial settings, as you might expect. Most poisonings involve everyday household items such as medicines, cleaning supplies, cosmetics & personal care items.
In 2010, the World Health Organization released a report which states that every year indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people. It claims that 90% of chronic illnesses are related to environmental factors. Less than 2% of the 80,000 known household chemicals have been tested - & shockingly, many of them contain known neurotoxins.
We need to make sure that we have a home that supports our healthy body, & we can only do that by addressing what is in common cleaners, soaps, detergents, & personal care products around the house.

We need to make sure that we have a home that supports our healthy body, & we can only do that by addressing what is in common cleaners, soaps, detergents, & personal care products around the house.
Here are some examples of potentially harmful ingredients common in household cleaner, laundry soap, dish soap, & even things like leather cleaners.
• phthalates (thalates) are possible endocrine disruptors that can change hormone levels & cause birth defects. They can interfere with the intellectual development of babies & children, & may cause preterm labor. They also have been shown to be associated with allergies, insulin resistance, diabetes & obesity.
• triclosan has been associated with higher rates of allergies to both food & skin allergens. It can increase & decrease both estrogen & testosterone, & is known to pass into blood, urine & breast milk. Even worse, it can react with free chlorine in our water supply & form a by-product that when exposed to the sun is converted into dioxins, & dioxins are know to be toxic to mammals, birds, & fish.
• 2-butoxyethanol (bu-tox-zi-eth-an-ol) BCEE has been shown to cause skeleton defects in the fetal rats, & can inhibit coordination.
• perchlorethylene (perc) is a central nervous system depressant, & is a class 2 Carcinogen.
This is just the very surface of the bad stuff found in our common cleaners!
Chlorine, ammonia, quaternary ammonia compounds, & sodium hydroxide are all very irritating to the skin & the lungs, & may have other harmful effects on the
body.

When you see ‘fragrance’ on a personal care product's label, just read it as ‘hidden chemicals.’
Why should you care?
This is a major loophole in federal law that allows manufacturers to include nearly ANY ingredient (even toxic ones) in their products under the name ‘fragrance’ without ACTUALLY LISTING the chemical.
Just keep re-reading that until it sinks in. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
The more you know about these harmful toxins, the more you can safeguard yourself & those you love.

WHAT'S IN MY CLEANER??
Cleaning product companies tell you that to keep your home clean and smelling fresh, you need to rely on an army of cleaning and air care products. Sprays, wipes, powders, liquids and more are sold with the promise of improving your home and your health by removing dirt and germs. More often than not, these products are also infused with fragrance to add a pleasant sensory experience to your everyday chores and to give your home that “clean” and “fresh” smell of lemon or pine forests.
What companies are not telling you is that cleaning products can contain toxic chemicals that may harm your health. Manufacturers often recommend frequent and repeated use of their products, but this also translates to frequent and repeated exposures to potentially harmful chemicals. You may inhale these chemicals by breathing indoor air and some of them can be absorbed through the skin. Long-term exposures to certain chemicals found in household cleaners have been linked to serious health problems like pregnancy complications, breast cancer, birth defects, asthma and allergic reactions.
