About the Author
Sarah UmmYusuf is a published author, non-toxic living advocate, and the founder of Nature’s Nurture. As a wife and mother of three, she’s spent over 15 years helping families ditch harmful chemicals—one simple swap at a time. When she’s not reading product labels or whipping up another cleaning recipe, you’ll find her homeschooling her kiddos and drinking way too much coffee.
I believe protecting your family from harmful chemicals doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Anyone can do it, one small step at a time.
My Story
When I became pregnant with my first child in 2010, I dove into research to prepare for bringing a new baby into the world. As I read article after article about the countless chemicals hidden in everyday products—many with names I couldn’t even pronounce—I was shocked to realize how harmful these products could be to our health.
I felt overwhelmed and anxious at the thought of exposing my precious baby to these toxins. I knew I had to make a change, but I didn’t know where to start.
Then, in the final month of my pregnancy, I needed to wash my baby’s clothes. That’s when I tried making my own laundry detergent. To my surprise, it worked! That small success gave me the confidence to start replacing other household products, one step at a time.
I started documenting everything online — every recipe, every swap, every lesson learned. What began as a personal journal quickly grew into a resource that families around the world were using to make their homes safer.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve developed and tested hundreds of DIY recipes for cleaning products, personal care items, and home wellness solutions. I’ve written a book — Journey to a Non-Toxic Home — to help even more families make the switch without the overwhelm. And I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) what actually works and what’s just marketing hype.
Today, I have peace of mind knowing I’m protecting my family from many of the harmful chemicals found in conventional products.
I’m here to help you find that same peace of mind.
