How your home can support your wellbeing
At Gentle Recovery, we talk about nurturing our three homes – body, mind and the physical environment around us. Low-tox living supports this third home: your actual home.
Scientific research links endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) – found in everyday cosmetics, plastics, and cleaning products – with hormone disruption and increased risk of hormone-sensitive cancers.
This page is here to help you:
- Reduce toxic burden on your body
- Support hormonal balance, create a safer, calmer home space
This is not about fear or perfection. It’s about thoughtful, empowering choices – starting small, with products that genuinely support your well-being.

These carefully chosen kits and bundles are designed to offer gentle, hormone-friendly alternatives.
Green cleaning kit
Cleaning products are one of the most overlooked sources of everyday chemical exposure. These swaps are a simple but powerful way to reduce synthetic fragrances and harsh ingredients in your home.
- OnGuard Cleaner Concentrate (PDF) – A highly concentrated, essential oil-based surface cleaner that’s effective and non-toxic.
- OnGuard Laundry Detergent (PDF) – A gentle but powerful detergent free from synthetic fragrances and dyes.

Tip: use a glass spray bottle for your homemade cleaners – plastic can degrade and introduce microplastics.
Personal care & skincare
Your skin absorbs what you put on it — which is why gentle, hormone-friendly ingredients are so important during recovery. These products support your skin barrier without harsh preservatives or synthetic fragrance.
- Veráge™ Skin Care Collection (PDF) – A nourishing, plant-based skincare system designed for daily use.
