Have you heard the word “Greenwashing?”

This term is coined as a deceptive marketing technique used to brand and describe products making them appear “green”, “natural”, “healthy”, or “safe”.  But in (a very sad) reality not only are these products unsafe but actually can be harmful to ourselves and our families.

Many of these products contain chemicals and ingredients that have been proven to be carcinogenic, endocrine disrupters, cause asthma, contain irritants, and more!

So how can you differentiate between a greenwashed product and a clean/ safe product?

You can read labels… or! There are a few apps out there that can make this tedious process less frustrating!

The two I have been using for years are called think dirty and healthy living EWG.

1. Sign up for free
2. Scan the barcode or search for your product using the search bar
3. Each app has a rating system and will rate your product with how toxic/ clean it is!

The Healthy Living even has a spot to check food labels!

Stay tuned for my amazon list of my favorite clean products I’ve been using for years now!
