Simple Swaps to Lower Your Toxic Exposure

Why it Matters

Minimizing exposure to everyday toxins—especially endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates—is a crucial step toward protecting your family’s long-term health. EDCs can interfere with the body’s hormonal system, impacting everything from metabolism and fertility to brain development and immune function. Phthalates, commonly found in plastics, fragrances, and personal care products, are particularly concerning because they're linked to hormone imbalance, reproductive issues, and developmental problems in children. At Low Tox Swap, we believe that small, informed changes—like choosing phthalate-free products—can make a meaningful difference. Our mission is to help you navigate everyday choices with confidence, one low-tox swap at a time.

Who
we are

Guides not gurus—we’re just a family trying to make better choices. As parents working in public health and technology, we were shocked at how hard it was to find clear, trustworthy information about everyday products and the toxins they can contain. Like many families, we wanted to reduce our exposure to harmful toxins but quickly found ourselves overwhelmed. That’s why we started Low Tox Swap: to document our journey, share what’s actually working in our home, and help others make low-tox living feel doable, not daunting. We're here to make it easier for you to find safer, smarter products for your family and the planet.
