Non-Toxic Swaps to Make This Fall
October is here which means it’s time to switch over to all things fall!
You can still have all the smells and flavors of fall WITHOUT the toxins. Keep reading to see my favorite non-toxic swaps to make!
Fall Candle
Plant Therapy Warm Pumpkin Spice Candle
This is from my favorite company for essential oils, so I was excited to see candles! Made with soy and coconut wax + their essential oils.
Fate Naturals Candles (code: KARLY10)
I wanted to keep this blog post to majority swaps that can be found on Amazon but I can’t talk about fall candles without mentioning my personal favorite from a small business that I love supporting.
These are so much better than a traditional lighter and make lighting candles more fun :)
Fall Drinks
Always avoid natural flavors, but if you see “organic natural flavors” that is completely different and approved!
Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
I’ve been loving this matcha powder mixed with oat milk + the liquid monk fruit listed below.
Organic Liquid Monk Fruit - Pumpkin Spice
This has all real food ingredients and can be used for baking or sweetening coffee too.
Laird Superfood Instant Latte - Pumpkin Spice
Laird Superfood Non-Dairy - Pumpkin Spice
Fall Hand Soap
I have the fluted one, but I’ve also linked a more affordable option. The key here is to get glass or stainless steel instead of plastic.
Plant Therapy Fall Festival Essential Oil Blend Set
Comes with Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint Latte, & Autumn Breeze
3rd party tested! Which is what you want to look for when shopping for essential oils.
Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap - Unscented
DIY hand soap:
Fill 1/3 of the container with Dr. Bronner’s unscented soap
Add about 20 drops of your essential oil of choice
Fill the rest of the way up and shake to mix
P.S. This only works with a foaming hand soap pump, not a regular one.
Attitude Liquid Hand Soap - Apple & Spices
My favorite fall-scented hand soap! Grab it when it’s in stock because it goes fast.
Air Fresheners
Aim to avoid all synthetic fragrances when looking to make your space smell yummy. The word “fragrance” is a blanket term for over 3000 different chemicals that we know could be possible carcinogens or can mess with our hormones.
Grow Fragrance Plant Based Air Freshener - Ginger Pumpkin
Spray this in the air, or on your linens, it smells SO good.
Enviroscent Scent Stix + Stand - Honeycrisp Apple + Cardamom / Vanilla Bean & Pumpkin Chai
When these run out you can buy more sticks and they’re super affordable.
Enviroscent Non-Toxic Room & Home Air Freshener Plug-in - Vanilla Bean & Pumpkin Chai
A great swap for glade plug-ins or those wallflowers from Bath & Body Works. You can also get refills for these so you don’t have to buy the wall plug in again.
Fall Lip Combo
Jane Iredale Lip Pencil in the color Spice
The perfect neutral mauve pink. I used to use the Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk and this is very similar!
Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain P-H Activated in the color Forever Peach
This lip balm adjusts to your own PH so it looks slightly different on everyone. It’s a stain so it lasts a long time!
Cold & Flu Relief
Get these if you need cough drops.. no nasty ingredients or dies and will actually HELP your immune system rather than masking symptoms.
Beekeeper’s Naturals Propolis Throat Spray
I like to use this daily (4 sprays in your throat) to help boost my immune system. It also helps numb your throat a bit if you’re sick and have a sore throat.
Take this if you start feeling a cold coming on. Thorne does 3rd party testing too which is a must.
Matys Vapor Rub for Adults and Kids
Use this instead of Vick’s vapor rub when you need a chest rub. Vick’s is made of petrolatum which is derived from petroleum oil (yuck!).
You can use this on kids 2 years and up!
Fall Snacks
Lesserevil Organic Pumpkin Spice Popcorn
I love this brand. I’m still dreaming of the flavor they came out with last Christmas.
YumEarth Halloween Organic Sour Littles Chewy Candy
A great swap for Halloween candy!
