About Modern Natural Living

Modern Natural Living exists to answer one question: which household products are actually free of plastic, PFAS, and BPA — and which ones just say they are?

Why This Site Exists

"Non-toxic" is not a regulated term. Brands can print it on anything. Meanwhile, PFAS ("forever chemicals") have been detected in the blood of 97% of Americans, and microplastics shed from synthetic materials into the food we eat and the water we drink. We started this site after discovering how many products marketed as "clean" failed basic scrutiny — hidden plastic gaskets, "BPA-free" plastics that simply swap in BPS, and PFAS-free claims with no lab results behind them.

So we built the resource we wished existed: a small, carefully vetted directory where every single product has been screened against three non-negotiable standards — Zero Plastic, PFAS-Free, and BPA-Free.

How We Work

  • We research brands through certification databases (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GOLS, EWG Verified), published lab results, and materials disclosures.
  • We require third-party testing — not just marketing claims. If a brand can't prove it, it doesn't get listed.
  • We reject far more products than we accept, and we remove products that reformulate or let certifications lapse.
  • Our full process is documented in our methodology, and every certification we rely on is explained in our certification glossary.

How We Make Money

Modern Natural Living is reader-supported. When you buy through links on this site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we recommend — many brands we list have no affiliate program at all. Read our full affiliate disclosure.
