Non-Toxic Product Guide

A Wirecutter-style website focused on reviewing and recommending non-toxic, health-conscious products across all categories of daily life. The business addresses growing concerns about toxic ingredients in everyday products by helping consumers make healthier choices.

Key Points:

  • Core Concept:

    • Create trusted product recommendations for non-toxic alternatives
    • Focus on products that won't "kill you" or harm your health
    • Similar to Wirecutter but with health/toxicity as the primary criteria
  • Product Categories:

    • Water (filters, bottles)
    • Air (purifiers, filters)
    • Food products
    • Cleaning supplies
    • Clothing (non-polyester)
    • Bedding
    • Personal care products (shampoo, etc.)
  • Value Proposition:

    • Simplify decision-making for health-conscious consumers
    • Provide expert-vetted recommendations
    • Save time researching safe products
    • Aggregate recommendations from trusted experts (e.g., "what Huberman and Rhonda Patrick agree on")
  • Market Opportunity:

    • Growing awareness of toxins in modern products
    • High mental tax of researching safe products
    • Even "safe" products often turn out to be problematic
    • Constant need for updated recommendations as new research emerges
  • Business Model:

    • Similar to Wirecutter's affiliate revenue model
    • Potential for premium content/membership
    • Could expand into own product line of vetted items
