This mission became personal in a very ordinary moment.
One night after sending my ESL students home from church, I was wiping down tables with a popular disinfecting wipe. I wasn't wearing gloves. And I realized: these chemicals were going through my skin and into my body.
Then I thought about home.
How often do we clean the kitchen, wipe down the counters, wash dishes, do laundry, brush your teeth, wash our hair, use skin products, and handle household products? The smells, the splashes on our skin, and the tastes...
Over time, that exposure adds up.
That moment changed the way I looked at the products used in my home. I began looking for safer and more natural options that were still effective, affordable, and simple to switch to.
That's why 1MillionFamiliesChanged was created--to help families become more aware, make better-informed choices, and feel more confident about the products they use every day.
