non-toxic cleaning products

Like you, we want safe and healthy products for our family and it’s alarming to know that many of the ingredients we are exposed to each day are so dangerous. We are very excited to create a new product category: Non-Toxic Living where we can offer you products made without harmful chemicals: NO parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or dyes, triclosan, sulfates, PEG’s or carcinogenic contaminates. All the products are gluten free and NO animal testing.

We are impressed with the quality and commitment to safety and think you will be too. At this time, we have a few items available, but as an Ava Anderson affiliate, we can assist you with a custom order, including a wide range of non-toxic products for body, baby, and home.

Have you been looking for a safe, organic deodorant that REALLY works? Us too! We LOVE this product! No aluminum, no parabens, no harmful chemicals.

easter bunny basket filled with art supplies

eco Easter basket giveaway

Getting ready for Easter is so much fun, but we cringe at the thought of all the plastic and trashy toys. It’s a much better feeling to fill a basket with eco friendly goodies: natural art supplies, wooden tops, whistles, yo-yos, notebooks, and other little treats that won’t break easily or end up in the garbage. We filled this adorable felt bunny basket with all sorts of Easter goodness and can’t wait to give it to one of our fans.

To win this eco Easter basket, simply leave a comment and let us know one small way you’ve chosen to be green for spring. Winner will be selected Friday, March 15th. Good luck!

We have a WINNER: congratulations to jengd!

Have a great weekend!
