Toxic No More is an educational, hands-on course designed to help participants understand and reduce everyday exposure to unnecessary chemicals found in many commercial skin care, cosmetic, and household cleaning products. The course focuses on practical, accessible alternatives using simple, non-toxic ingredients such as plant butters, carrier oils, essential oils, and other safe household elements. Emphasis is placed on ingredient awareness, safety, and simplicity—not complicated formulas or specialized equipment.

Participants will learn how to create effective products they can confidently use on their skin and in their homes, including basic skin care items, cosmetic essentials, and common household detergents and cleaners. Each session combines instruction, discussion, and guided demonstrations, allowing attendees to leave with usable knowledge and recipes they can easily recreate at home. The course is suitable for adults of all experience levels and requires no prior background in chemistry or product formulation.
