What We Don’t Allow (and What We Do) at Homeland Harvest – Toxin-Free, American-Made Products

At Homeland Harvest, we’re not your average online marketplace—we’re America’s most trusted non-toxic marketplace. Every item you see here is carefully vetted to meet our uncompromising standards for safety, quality, and integrity.

We believe your home should be filled with products that are toxin-free, American-made, and designed to support your health—not harm it. That’s why we’re completely transparent about what you’ll never find here… and exactly what we choose instead.

Personal Care – Safe for Your Skin, Inside and Out

What We Don’t Allow:
We reject any personal care products containing:

  • Parabens – synthetic preservatives linked to hormone disruption
  • Phthalates – often hidden in fragrances, known to impact reproductive health
  • Formaldehyde & formaldehyde-releasing preservatives – recognized carcinogens
  • SLS/SLES – harsh sulfates that strip skin’s natural barrier
  • Synthetic dyes – potential allergens with no benefit
  • Triclosan – toxic to people and waterways
  • Petroleum-derived ingredients – replaced with renewable, plant-based sources

What We Do Allow:
Our toxin-free personal care products are:

  • Made with saponified olive, coconut, and avocado oils, mango & shea butters, goat milk, and tallow
  • Naturally scented with pure essential oils or completely unscented for sensitive skinColored with mineral pigments instead of artificial dyes
  • Small-batch crafted, American-made, and fully transparent in ingredient lists

  • Petroleum solvents
  • Synthetic dyes

  • Organic and non organic cotton, linen, bamboo, and wool
  • TENCEL™ blends for softness and sustainability
  • Breathable, natural fibers sourced responsibly
  • Up to 5% spandex or Lycra in some garments for comfort, stretch, and durability—this small percentage is considered safe from a toxin-free perspective because it’s blended into a natural fiber base, minimizing direct skin contact with synthetic material while improving fit and longevity, ultimately reducing waste.

  • Artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
