Using fragrances in our homes may smell good, but many of those products are toxic air pollutants. Companies that make fragrances go largely unregulated, and they don’t have to specify what’s in their products or how they can be harmful to your health.
Essential oils are a non-toxic alternative to many home and medicinal items. They are wonderfully versatile, and can be used for air purifying, medicinal purposes, air freshening, supplementation, cleaning, pain relief – the list goes on and on. Science says that you can even personalize the vibe of your space by selecting which scents you use, depending on how you feel and how you want to feel! Need some energy? Look for some orange essential oils! The process of intentionally selecting oils for your space can be a fun act of self-care.
Not all essential oils are made equal, though – many oils are extremely diluted, or even mixed with toxic chemicals. They can be marketed as a wellness item when in reality, they aren’t – at all. Here are some of the non-toxic oil brands that we trust.
Note: Essential oils can be unsafe for pets and children, so we encourage you to research before use.
