3 Simple Kid-Friendly Swaps to Reduce Toxins (That They'll Actually Like)

Let's be real-switching to low-tox living feels overwhelming, especially when you've got picky little ones in the mix. But here's the good news: you don't have to overhaul everything at once. These three DIY swaps are safe for kids, fun to use, and effective. Even better? They help you ditch toxins without a fight!

1.Bubble Bath with Real Bubbles

Why it matters: Store-bought bubble baths often contain SLS, synthetic fragrance, and parabens-none of which belong on sensitive skin.

What we use instead:

• Castile soap

• Vegetable glycerin

• Lavender or chamomile essential oil (kid-safe only!)

• Xanthan gum for bubble retention

Pro Tip: Add to running water for maximum bubbles, and use a bath bomb mold to turn it into fizzy fun.

2.Vanilla Toothpowder for Kids

Why it matters: Many kid toothpastes are loaded with fluoride, saccharin, and artificial dyes.

What we use instead:

• Calcium Carbonate

• Bentonite clay

• Xylitol (safe in small amounts)

• Vanilla bean powder

• A touch of cinnamon or clove (optional age 5+)

Tastes like a treat, cleans like a champ!

3.Herbal Immune Popsicles

Why it matters: These popsicles aren't just a treat-they're a kid-friendly way to deliver herbal immune support during cold and flu season.

What we use instead:

• Elderberry tea-rich in antioxidants.

• Marshmallow root-coats and soothes (perfect for sore throats).

• Lemon balm-gentle antiviral and calming effects.

• Raw honey (for 1+ years only)

• Freeze in silicone molds

Perfect for teething, tummy aches, or just a healthy after-school snack
