I'm looking to rid of toxins

fuddle

I'm looking to remove as much I can toxins from the products I use, both in the home and personally.

How would I go about doing this?

Paraben free seems to be the buzz words. Is that what I have to look out for?

Thank you for the help in this. I'm actually shocked at the level of ignorance I have over this. I actually don't know where to start.

I think it depends on what you mean by toxins, as lots of natural products are toxic - mercury for example Mineral make up is usually paraben free.

I can recommend using lemon juice to get rid of limescale and stains on worktops. Bicarbonate of soda mixed with a little water makes a good oven cleaner. Don't just assume that buying something with an eco label means it is natural, or better for the environment - the latter is usually only marginally so.

Thank you for the info. I note a lot of the things I have been looking at have an inflated price tag.

What drives me is purely health. I want to consume and apply to my body things that will not add to to already toxic world we live in. I'm thinking giving my body a fighting chance against cancers - that's my angle and reason to want to purify a little more.

I like that you suggest natural ingredients for cleaning. I have been finding a lot of tips in Oldstyle. I'm also trying to look into Lush products. On the surface they look fine but I can only go by what they tell me on their website. I need to look into that more.

I appreciate your feedback, thank you
