HOW I MAKE MY CHOICES

When choosing products for my family, two factors play a key role: 1) safety for my family and 2) effect on environment. If the product passes these two things, THEN it is helpful if it actually works! I have spent LOTS of time and money finding the products that I like and that work for my family.

Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a non-profit dedicated to human health and environment.
