Shop
Want a one-stop shop for healthy products that actually work? I’ve got you covered!
Here are some of my favourites to help you make your transition to a healthier home that much easier.
You can browse them all, or skip to the category you need the most!
Note from Emma:
Unlike most affiliate shops, I am avoiding Amazon. With a poor track record of worker conditions, treatment of small businesses who list with them, and high risk of fraudulent products I cannot support their platform. As a result, I have chosen other avenues in the links below. Thank you for your support!
Online Shopping Resources
These are great places to look for general online shopping.
Healthy Moms Discount Card
Get access to amazing discounts on healthy products and services (many of them are listed in my shop too) with a one-time card purchase! Save $5 off the regular price with code EMMASAVE5 at checkout.
Well.ca
A Canadian one-stop-shop for a wide range of food, housewares, personal care, and cleaners.
Personal Care
Skincare, cosmetics, period products… all of these are simple and important swaps for your healthy home journey. Here are some of my favourites!
Green Beaver Sunscreen
The pump spray and baby lotion are my top picks for the kids. The spray is non-aerosol (I don’t recommend those) and goes on quickly for squirmy littles. The baby lotion is less greasy.
Beautycounter Sunscreen
The lotion and stick are my personal favourites! It goes on nicely, is non-whitening, and doesn’t feel super thick, chalky, or greasy.
Pure Anada Make-Up
From a non-toxic mascara that won’t run to beautifully pigmented eye shadows and skin nourishing foundations, this is my go-to brand for all things make-up.
Thera Wise Natural First Aid Kit Essentials
From the Vapour Rub to Skin Healing Ointment to Acne Treatment, Therawise offers plant-based high performance products free from petrochemicals and other toxins found in most of these products.
Green Beauty Consultations & Products
Maria Velve is an incredible wealth of knowledge (and the only person I trust my face with for photo shoots). If you’re looking to switch to non-toxic, Canadian-made make-up and skincare, Maria is your answer.
Green Beaver Deodorant
This is the first natural deodorant that worked for me - through stress sweats, workouts, and camping trips. It’s my top recommended deodorant to try when you’re switching to natural. They also have a natural anti-perspirant.
Routine Deodorant
I am loving this paste style deodorant. There are baking soda-free options too for sensitive pits.
Diva Cup
Say goodbye to wasteful and expensive pads and tampons, and hello to your new best period friend! I switched to a Diva Cup over 10 years ago and can’t believe I waited so long.
Green Beaver Shampoo & Conditioner
This combo works really well for my curly hair that’s on the dry side.
LIFANCE Skincare
LIFANCE creates powerful, clean formulas with high concentrations of potent botanical ingredients. LIFANCE is designed for all skin types including sensitive and problem skin.

For Babies & Kids
The most important thing to remember is babies don’t need a lot! But for when you need a solution, here are some of my go-tos.
Badger Cloth Diaper-Friendly Cream
This soothing balm is great for sensitive diaper rash-prone skin, and general skin healing.
Green Beaver Baby
The fragrance free lotion, baby wash, and diaper cream are excellent, clean products for your baby’s sensitive skin.
Thera Wise

Naturepedic Mattress Pads
Non-toxic protective covers for crib, bassinet and playpens.
Jackson Reece Unscented Baby Wipes
I used mainly cloth wipes, but for the extra messes or while out and about, these worked the best!

Something for everyone here! My favourite is the shredded rubber - it moulds to your body and you can adjust how much fill you need.

Clothing

TMPL operates under the pillars of Clean (non-toxic fabrics), Conscious (ethically made in Canada), and Performance (wicking, soft, compression, anti-odour, they have it all!).
Logan & Finley
This is my go-to boutique clothing shop for sustainable, made-to-last fashion. From play dates to business they have it all. And owner Julie is an incredible stylist if you’re stuck or need inspiration!

Gorgeous nursing bras, body suits, bralettes, and sleepwear. Ethically and sustainably made in Canada so you can feel and look great.

Books & Resources
Want to nerd out on topics related to health, toxins, and the environment? Here are some of my favourites.

The updated edition combines the original under the same title and the follow-up “Tox-In Tox-Out”. It’s a great read that makes the science and solutions easy to follow.

Not my favourite title, but a great book none-the-less about supporting overall health and detoxification by one of the originals in environmental medicine, Dr. Walter Crinnion.
The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution
This is a must-read for all women. It’s written by one of my go-to experts, Dr. Aviva Romm, and helps you understand your body in ways you never have before. It outlines her 4-week plan to regain balanced hormones.
Let Them Eat Dirt
This is an engaging and interesting read about the importance of the microbiome, and how we can help our kids build strong immune systems. A must-read for all parents.
Sicker Fatter Poorer
A great book filled with easy to understand science and history of hormone disrupting chemicals, and the havoc they’re wreaking on our health. Plus tips on how you can reduce exposure.
