PRODUCT LABEL READING

Quickly find out if that product you're wondering about is truly safer!

Clever labeling claims can be confusing (not to mention deceptive!). And then there are the "hidden toxins" that can contaminate a product, but aren't required to be listed on the label. Other claims such as "Paraben-Free" (just because it doesn't contain parabens doesn't mean it doesn't contain other toxins), "#1 Dermatologist Recommended" (this term means nothing), to name a few, are just as confusing.

It can take dozens of hours of research to figure out which ingredients are toxic, or if a product is truly safe.

Instead of hours and hours of research, why not ask an expert and get an answer quickly? If you've ever wondered if a product you're using has toxic ingredients or if you're wondering what to buy at the store, this is a fast way to find out. All product labels are carefully reviewed and vetted by award-winning toxin expert and author Tonya Harris, MSHN, BCHN.

FAQs

After I purchase, what's next?

After you checkout, you will receive an email with next steps. You will enter information about the products you are inquiring about in a simple Google Form (product name, links, or a photo of the label if you have it). After the information is received by the Slightly Greener team, Tonya will respond with an email that contains notes about the product and ingredients, as well as a video as she goes through the product label.

Why do you charge for multiple products at a time? Can I just do one?

Our experience is that most people want more than one product looked at, so this process allows for that.

What kind of products can I submit?

Foods and beverages, cleaning products, and beauty/personal care products.

Should I book a label reading or a consult? I'm not sure.

If you are just curious about a product, choose the 3- or 5-product option. If you have specific questions regarding health concerns and ingredients to avoid, or if you want to ask questions about a line of products or have specific health goals, the phone or Zoom consult is recommended. (Please note that Tonya cannot diagnose or dispense medical advice. Do not go off any medications without consulting your healthcare provider.)

What if I still have questions after my label reading and I would like a consult?

Simple! Just hit "reply" on the answer email you receive, and let us know! We'll apply your payment to the consult price. We'll send you an invoice and after payment is made, you'll receive a link to schedule the consult.

Are there any other options so I can learn how to read labels?

Yes! Tonya's book, The Slightly Greener Method: Detoxifying Your Home is Easier, Faster, & Less Expensive Than You Think (Sourcebooks, 2021) contains information on ingredients to avoid, how to find hidden toxins on the label, and has over 100 safer recommended brands listed. A dedicated book website has downloadable cheat sheets of ingredients to avoid so you can take them with you when you shop, or to make it easy to check labels on your own. The Slightly Greener Method is available wherever books are sold.
