You’d be surprised how many common household products contain ingredients that are considered to be toxic to humans or possible carcinogens. But who has the time to do a biological research study on every potential product purchase?

That’s why we love www.mightynest.com, a newly launched site that serves as a resource for parents to learn about which products are safe and which chemicals to avoid. This informative site includes a resource center where parents can research by topic (e.g. Building a Healthy Nursery, Cleaning the Healthy Way) or concern (e.g. BPA, Phthalates, Lead) and find tips on simple and effective ways to create a healthier home for their families, a blog where parents can discuss rewards and challenges of maintaining a healthy home environment and even an online store, where non-toxic, eco-friendly products are just a click away.

Kristen Conn, the site’s co-founder, has a passion for educating parents on how to have a healthy home. “At MightyNest, we read labels so you don’t have to. We work extremely hard to bring parents the most informative content and to handpick products that are not only considered the safest in the marketplace, but are also stylish and green.” Safe, stylish and green – how great is that?
