Dear Friends,
While many consumers these days are really wanting to choose cleaner products, deciding which ones to purchase can be a challenging endeavor.
Many companies do their best to confuse people about what attributes matter, and some products also perform better than others in a variety of ways.
The Living Clean website is designed to help consumers to get the information that they need to make good decisions, based on looking at the ingredients or composition of the products as well as on my own subjective experiences with them.
My hope is that the reviews on this site will make it easier for people to choose the right products to meet their needs – thus resulting in greater satisfaction and less waste.
I have started out by looking in a really in-depth way at makeup and skincare products, and soon will be adding information about personal care products, dog foods, human foods, supplements, camping supplies, and other products.
I hope you will share your own experiences with products in the comments sections.
In addition, please consider signing up for occasional email newsletters from Living Clean in a Dirty World.
Thanks very much for visiting the Living Clean site – I’m really happy you’re here.
Love,
Lisa Petrison
About This Website
The Living Clean in a Dirty World shopping website is designed to provide guidance to those seeking out products that are relatively low in toxicity and that provide generally positive user experiences.
The products are curated by Lisa Petrison, who has been focused on helping people to improve their health by avoiding toxicity since 2008 and who heads the Paradigm Change organization.
Her Living Clean in a Dirty World blog site discusses a variety of topics of relevance to those who are working to pursue a more natural lifestyle with less exposure to harmful toxicity.
Lisa is the author of several books, including A Beginner’s Guide to Mold Avoidance (co-written with Erik Johnson).
She also runs the Paradigm Change website (focusing on issues related to toxic mold illness) and the Mold Avoiders Facebook group (designed for the discussion of all topics of interest to those pursuing the mold avoidance approach described in the “Beginner’s Guide” book).
In her former life, Lisa worked as a business school professor, as a marketing consultant to a variety of large companies, and as a reporter covering the advertising industry.
She holds a Ph.D. in marketing and social psychology from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University as well as B.S./M.S. degrees from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern.
A Note From Lisa
Products that I have tried or researched and that I have not found to be acceptable from a toxicity standpoint have been omitted entirely from the discussions on this website.
However, since a goal of this project is to introduce people to a range of options in terms of price and functionality, some products discussed on this site may not be appropriate for everyone.
It’s my hope that all individuals making their way to this site will find at least a few options from each product category that meet all of their own needs and wants from a variety of perspectives.
Most marketers now offer affiliate programs in which Internet content creators may earn commissions if people who are referred to the companies’ sites by clicking on links end up making purchases.
I participate in quite a few individual affiliate programs as well as in the Sovrn/Viglinks program (which automatically converts regular links into revenue-generating links).
Reader comments about products discussed on this website are very welcome.
Thoughts may be shared either by posting them in the comments section at the bottom of this page or by sending them directly to me at the following email address:
