About Us
Toxic Ingredients and Your Health
The European Union bans over 1,300 ingredients from being used in skin care. The US bans only 30.
For far too long, personal care and household companies have been putting ingredients in their products that cause harm. Who wants to willingly put themselves at risk for cancer? What about neurodevelopment disorders or lung toxicity? You deserve to know what's in your products. You deserve to be healthy.
What We Do
How can you distinguish those products that are clean from the toxic ones? At Balance Apothecary, you don't have to. We do the research and find only the safest products. Every purchase funds businesses that avoid toxic ingredients in their products. We are a one stop, clean shop for personal care and household products. Our research utilizes information and rankings provided by EWG.
Personal Experiences
Our blog is compiled of personal experiences meant to share knowledge, promote personal growth and balance in life. They are for educational and entertainment purposes. They are not meant to diagnose any medical conditions. Please speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about your health.
Passionate About Health
We are woman-owned, started in the US, by a mom who watched her first born son struggle with various unexplained behavioral, neurological and speech issues. After doing much research on her own, she found out that phthalates present in the majority of cosmetics caused pre-frontal cortex damage to her son's brain, and hundreds of ingredients are known to cause cancer. She is on a mission to spread information that isn't made easily accessible so that no other child suffers irreversible brain damage.
Be The Change
Together, we can support businesses that use natural and effective ingredients that won't cause harm to our bodies. By choosing cleaner products, we are creating change in our country. Our bodies matter. Our minds matter. Our earth matters. What we do now affects not just us. It affects the entire future. The Environmental Working Group and Beautycounter have lobbied for higher standards in beauty products. We can help them push for legislature that bans more toxic ingredients in the US.
