Roots ‘n' Fruits is a health and wellness blog and affiliate marketing business promoting other businesses that create non-toxic products in plastic free product packaging. The affiliate businesses and Amazon products are researched to be made with high quality 100% natural ingredients/materials and zero synthetic chemical ingredients/coatings.
Plastic free product packaging is our standard because research exposes that plastic product packaging is leaching endocrine disrupting microplastics, nanoplastics and toxic chemical additives into the product at room temperature and higher. If avoiding endocrine disrupting harmful ingredients matters to you, product packaging matters to guarantee the integrity of the product content.
Some of the partnering businesses on our website may have glass spray bottles with plastic spray handles or glass bottles with a glass dropper and plastic handle. Unfortunately for some liquid products, it is impossible to find completely plastic free product packaging, but the majority of the product packaging is plastic free.
Roots ‘n' Fruits also holds strict standards for itself when it comes to promoting clothing and home textiles. We have curated a list of businesses that sell clothes and home textiles made from only organic natural fibers with plant dyed or undyed options. Research tells us everything you put on your skin goes directly into your bloodstream, and we have made it easy to find the absolute healthiest clothing and home textile brands avoiding synthetic fibers and chemical dyes.
Another reason plastic free businesses are highly prioritized is because eventually all single-use plastic products will degrade in the environment into microplastics/nanoplastics and pose risks to the environment, wildlife, and humans.
We have a dedicated category for conscious consumers named Plastic Free that guarantees the products and shipping materials are 100% plastic free.
Roots ‘n' Fruits seeks to alleviate the researching burden on the average consumer in search of high quality non-toxic natural plastic free products.
At least in America, there is a cultural attitude to adopt a non-toxic lifestyle once a health issue onsets instead of taking a preventative approach to safeguarding our health. It has become the consumers responsibility to understand the ingredients behind products and determine for ourselves if the ingredients and packaging are truly safe for our health. For example, manufacturers and businesses of consumer products can use the blanket term fragrance to include any mixture of 3,500 chemicals which can be known carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, petrochemicals, and allergens. This is just the tip of the iceberg discovering how toxic many consumer products may be for our health.
While it is impossible to eliminate all toxins from our daily lives and we should not live in fear, we can strive to create more natural environments in our homes and workplaces for our optimal health.
