Welcome to Cultivate Cleaner

The primary goal of Cultivate Cleaner is to share information about chemicals and ingredients in personal care and household products, and provide steps to limit exposure, so that we can live a cleaner life. It starts with awareness and some simple facts about the lack of regulation in the United States. Most of us don't know that the FDA does not regulate these products and that testing before going to market is optional

Cultivate Cleaner also promotes overall health and wellness, in moderation. Everyone needs a donut once in a while and we must be realistic about our personal lifestyles, capabilities, and expectations

Cultivate Cleaner Jewelry is on this site, sold at Helen Thomas, Simply Smashing in Andover and Newburyport Massachusetts, Andover Farmers Market, and at Cultivate Cleaner at Etsy. Designs are not always the same online or in person

I am also open to pop ups, markets, and fairs

Jewelry is simple and modern or bright and colorful. Color can immediately change your state of mind

As much as possible I source materials from small US based businesses. I also seek out vintage, recycled, fair trade, "clean" items, and those that support underserved groups. I love working vintage beads and recycled materials into my work

All items come wrapped for gift giving in eco-friendly packaging and throughout the holidays a gift card for you to fill out is included

I provide group and one on one presentations/ consultations about chemicals contained in personal care and household items. My focus is on increasing awareness of the health risks that chemicals in personal care products present, especially for those who are at risk of breast cancer, which sadly, is all women. I partner with like minded organizations on clean beauty and related topics

I am not a licensed or trained health provider but I have received training on toxins, wellness, and nutrition and have worked professionally in the health and human services space for nearly 25 years. My goal is to share information so that individuals can then do future research and/or speak with their healthcare professionals about their own risks and develop a more targeted action plan. The first step is knowing
