About the Foundation
Toward ToxicFree lives and a ToxicFree world.
The ToxicFree Foundation is a private non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the toxic ingredients in personal care products, cosmetics, household cleaning products, food additives, and packaging.
01 — Why we exist
Through extensive research, we are finding that many products contain toxic ingredients that go on and into our bodies every day, and are then passed on to our environment with toxic consequences.
02 — How we work
Three ways we’re changing that.
Through on-going public education, increased research, and diligent corporate and government oversight.
Increased research
Follow the science.
We dig into the ingredients used in cosmetics, personal care, and household products, and publish what we find, including our report on manufacturing aids.

Corporate & government oversight
