It started as a quiet nudge thirty-five years ago—one of those feelings you can’t quite explain. My skin would randomly freak out. My allergies were worse inside than they were outside. And I wasn’t alone. Friends were dealing with all kinds of weird health issues that didn’t add up. I kept thinking, What if those crunchy people talking about detoxing your home weren’t so crazy after all? What if our safe spaces—our homes—were full of stuff slowly chipping away at our health?

So, I got curious. I started reading labels. Googling ingredients I couldn’t pronounce. What I found was honestly quite shocking. Endocrine disruptors in everyday lotions. Carcinogens hiding in my favorite candles. “Fresh lemon” sprays that were actually chemical soup in a pretty bottle. That’s when it hit me—it’s not about one product or one bad day. It’s the build-up. Every spritz, every swipe, every breath. And once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. That’s when this became more than curiosity. That’s when it became a calling.

Hello. I’m Char Schuster, Aromatherapist, Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master, and owner of The Good Life. Good Earth. Company. Most importantly, I am an Advocate for non-toxic living.

I empower myself—and others—to make small, meaningful changes that add up to a healthier life. Not perfect. Not extreme. Just conscious. I started swapping products. I learned to read labels.

Becoming an Advocate for non-toxic living isn’t about preaching or perfection. It’s about offering people a choice, especially those who are unaware of their options. It’s about helping others reconnect to the wisdom of simpler living. It’s about reducing the toxic load on our bodies, our homes, and our planet. It’s about paying attention.

Because once you know, you can’t un-know.

I do this work because everyone deserves to feel safe in their own space, to breathe deeply, and to trust what touches their skin. I believe change starts small—one product, one room, one candle at a time. And I want to be part of that ripple.

On this site, you will find a curated selection of products that I consider the best of the best, promoting better wellness, all free of toxic chemicals and rooted in aromatherapy. Try swapping out a candle or body oil option. If you’re not satisfied, let me know. I use these products daily, and I know they are “made safe”. I would not recommend them otherwise.

It all started with Aromatherapy.

In the late 1980s, I became a certified aromatherapist. At the time, aromatherapy wasn’t a buzzword. It wasn’t on every label or woven into wellness marketing. It was niche, almost underground. But I was captivated. The idea that pure plant oils—distilled from flowers, roots, leaves, and resins—could support physical health and emotional balance felt both ancient and revolutionary.

I learned to respect the intelligence of nature. Aromatherapy taught me to pay attention to what we breathe, absorb, and surround ourselves with. It showed me how closely our health is tied to the environment in which we live. And it gave me a deep respect for how even the smallest choices—a room spray, a body oil, a candle—can impact our well-being.

Becoming an Advocate for non-toxic living now feels like a full-circle moment. I’ve spent years learning, experimenting, and making intentional choices. I want to share what I know—not from a place of fear or perfectionism, but from a place of empowerment. Because once you know what’s possible, once you feel the difference in your own body, you want that for everyone.
