This Earth Day Natural Haven Makes it Easy to Have a Low-Tox Home

The Santa Barbara-based company rids the home of toxins that can lead to numerous health issues for all, especially babies, children, and elderly

Santa Barbara, Calif., February 19th,  2025 – This Earth Day – April 22nd – is the perfect time to do some spring cleaning while incorporating choices that protect both the planet and one’s health. Natural Haven can help one do just that. With Natural Haven’s expertise, transforming a home into a healthy, wellness-focused space has never been easier. Based in Santa Barbara, Natural Haven is dedicated to helping individuals and families cultivate healthy, non-toxic home environments to support vibrant health. Through personalized consultations, Natural Haven founder, Karen Bloom, guides families through the process of detoxifying their homes, by identifying “problematic” products and recommending safer alternatives to create non-toxic living spaces that support their well-being. Bloom’s passion for non-toxic living was born from her experience as a consumer protection lawyer, as well as the knowledge she gained from the personal experience of healing from a chronic illness (lyme disease and mold toxicity) that was made more manageable by lowering her daily toxic load.  

By making purchasing decisions that are better for the planet, people can also benefit their health. Natural Haven empowers families to create healthier homes through non-toxic product consulting in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas. The typical home often contains a surprising variety of toxins, like formaldehyde, PFAS, and flame retardants, that can be hidden everywhere from cleaners, furniture, and children’s toys. Daily exposure to these toxins can overwhelm people’s natural detoxification process and cause adverse health effects, often contributing to chronic illnesses and autoimmune disorders. These chemicals also harm the environment, ending up in soil, water, air, and the food chain during manufacturing and disposal.

 “As a consumer protection lawyer, as well as from my own personal experience, I’ve seen how everyday products can negatively impact people’s health. We all want our homes to be safe havens that support our health, not environments that are making us sick. This is especially true for new parents welcoming a baby or someone who is dealing with a challenging health issue,” says Bloom. “Unfortunately, companies use toxic chemicals without knowing the effect on consumers' health — or, worse than that, using them while knowing the effect — and they actively mislead consumers about the safety of products through ‘greenwashing.’ That is why I created Natural Haven because it can literally be a full time job to find safe alternatives.”

Natural Haven simplifies the process and removes the guesswork out of creating a healthier home, while helping to protect the environment. 

Natural Haven offers:

• Room-by-room detox makeovers 
• Expert advice on safe home decor and cleaning products
• Simple lifestyle tips for everyday health improvements
• Help for new parents to create non-toxic nurseries 
• Baby registries 
• Assessment of products already in the home
