Low-Tox Swaps

The everyday swaps I actually use and love, gathered up room by room. Most are one-and-done — swap it once and stop thinking about it.

A note on links. I went through every product here the way I go through anything as a physician — reading the labels and checking what is actually in it. Some of the links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. I only list things I use myself or would recommend to someone I am working with, and a commission never determines what makes the list or where it ranks.

These are the products I actually use and love, pulled into one place so they are easy to browse. There is no particular order to any of it — grab whatever catches your eye, and come back for the rest whenever something wears out.
