About Plastic Detox

Plastic Detox exists for one reason: to help you reduce your daily exposure to microplastics and harmful chemicals using clear, evidence based guidance.

Why This Site Exists

Microplastics have been found in human blood, lungs, brain tissue, and placentas. The research is clear that exposure is widespread and growing. What is less clear is what to actually do about it.

Most information online is either too academic to act on or too sensational to trust. Plastic Detox bridges that gap. We translate peer reviewed research into specific, practical swaps you can make today.

Our Editorial Standards

Every claim on this site is backed by published, peer reviewed research from institutions including:

The New England Journal of Medicine
Nature Medicine
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Environmental Science & Technology

Our research library contains over 35 studies with direct links to each source so you can verify every claim yourself.

How We Select Products

Products in our store are selected based on:

Material safety. We only recommend products made from materials that do not leach harmful chemicals. No PFAS coatings, no BPA plastics, no synthetic fragrances.
Independent verification. We prioritize products with NSF certifications, GOTS organic certifications, or third party lab testing.
Real user feedback. Every product has strong ratings from thousands of verified purchasers.
No paid placements. Companies cannot pay to be featured. Our recommendations are based entirely on research and product quality.

How We Are Supported

Plastic Detox is an independent project. We are supported through affiliate commissions when you purchase products through our links. This costs you nothing extra. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we recommend or how we rate them. We frequently recommend products from brands we have no affiliate relationship with if they are the best option.

Our Commitment

We will never exaggerate health risks to drive clicks.
We will correct errors promptly when we find them.
We will always link to our sources so you can check our work.
We will update our recommendations as new research emerges.
