Low Tox

The Kitchen Edit

Low tox swaps for the room you use most.

Reducing your toxic load in the kitchen can happen slowly, one swap at a time.

When your chopping board wears out, your dishwashing tablets run out or your blender needs replacing, that's a chance to be a little more intentional about what you bring home. I look at the materials and ingredients first. A leaf on the label tells me more about the packaging than what's inside.

That’s the idea behind my Low Tox Kitchen Edit. Here are a few of my favourites and one upgrade on my wish list.

Why I chose these products

Our Place

My pans get used daily. I'm picky about air fryers, and the Wonder Oven earned its spot because it has a stainless steel interior and a chromed steel basket. Our Place says the accessories are made without PFAS.

Seed & Sprout and KitchenAid

The Seed & Sprout chopping boards are the best I’ve used, and I love the quality of their glass storage. I also chose a KitchenAid blender with a glass jug for my morning smoothies.

Soapnut Republic and Koh

Soapnut Republic is one of my favourite finds. Their range uses soapnuts, and the story behind it stuck with me. Co-founder Bobby accidentally drank bleach when he was 2. When he and Kim had kids of their own, that experience shaped the cleaning products they wanted to make. I’ve also included Koh’s dishwashing tablets as a low tox pick. I reserve “low tox” for practical swaps like this and steer clear of absolute claims like “no tox”.

Beautiful Water

I already have a whole-house water filter and a separate reverse osmosis filter at my kitchen sink. The Beautiful Water whole-house system is my dream upgrade.
