Episode 48: Naturally Inspired with Krissy Ballinger

Sustainable You

Krissy Ballinger has always been passionate about health, the human body and the planet. When she learned about the crazy number of ingredients in her cleaning and body care products, she decided to use this ‘universal nudge’ to do something about it. Valuing simplicity over convenience, she created her own products using natural and simple ingredients. She started on this journey with the intention of changing her family’s lives for the better, but continues on it because she needs as many people as possible to know that there is another way. Her DIY recipes can now be found online, and she has published several books, helping people to realise that avoiding store-bought, potentially harmful products not only benefits your own body, but also those around you, and of course, the planet. Check out her recipes and more at www.krissyballinger.com.au or on Instagram You can add your name to her petition calling for transparent labelling laws on cleaning products here.
