A note before you start

Fragrance free at Low Tox Stays means no parfum, no artificial fragrance and no essential oils. Tier 1 hosts may use products that contain essential oils while making the switch — these are marked on the list. From Tier 2 upward, essential oil free is the standard across all products. If you are unsure where your current products sit, the list below is a good starting point. Always check current ingredient labels as formulations change.

Use plain wool dryer balls with no added essential oils. Do not add essential oil drops to dryer balls — this is a common cause of reactions. Available at supermarkets, Kmart and online.

Category 03

Personal care.

Personal care is the hardest category to get right. Even products labelled fragrance free can contain protein derivatives that cause reactions in people with specific allergies. For this reason we recommend hosts at Tier 2 and 3 either provide the products below or communicate clearly to guests that personal care is not provided and guests should bring their own. Many guests with chemical sensitivity prefer to bring their own products regardless.
