These Sustainable & Non-Toxic Brands Are Made in the USA

I’ve been recommending that Americans buy products made in the USA when possible for a while now. Why? Well, a more localized supply chain:

• cuts down on carbon emissions (sometimes by a lot!)
• can be more transparent and easier to monitor for human rights violations
• can provide jobs, support local economies, and counteract some of the globalization that’s occurred over the past several decades.

But with all of the recent volatility around tariffs, even more people are looking to buy American-made products. Since tariff charges are almost always passed along to the end consumer, products that are not made in the US are probably going to go up in price. (I just recently paid an $8 tariff surcharge when I ordered a replacement filter for my AirDoctor.) Because of the way these tariffs are disrupting supply chains, there is also some concern about non-American-made products even being available at all, or potentially being backordered.

So, when I asked newsletter subscribers what topic you wanted me to prioritize for the next free guide, I wasn’t too surprised when you voted for a guide to non-toxic and organic brands that are made in the USA.

So in this article, I’m going to give you a list of non-toxic, organic, and sustainable brands that are made right here in the States.

I’ve broken the guide into two main sections:

• the first list consists of companies that not only assemble their products in the USA, but also source their materials (or at least the majority of their materials) from the States as well. (Because remember: even if a product is technically “made in the USA,” you could still experience a price hike if their materials are sourced elsewhere.)

• The second list consists of brands that assemble their products in America, but use mostly globally-sourced ingredients or components.

This guide contains product recommendations and we may receive compensation if you purchase through certain links. As always, we only make recommendations that are genuine! Featured image credit: Harvest & Mill

Myth-Busting What “Made in the USA” Does and Does NOT Mean

Before we get into the list of companies, let’s clarify some of the common misconceptions about what “made in America” does and does not mean.

“Made in the USA” usually means less environmental impact.

There is a lot of transportation that happens in an average supply chain… Raw materials may be grown in one place in the world, then flown or shipped somewhere else to be milled or processed, somewhere else to be dyed, somewhere else to be assembled, and somewhere else to be stored and shipped—and that’s all before it’s shipped to you.

That’s a lot of emissions and a lot of air pollution. When a product is manufactured more locally, from start to finish, it’s generally healthier for everyone. It’s not always possible, of course, but it’s cool when a brand can make it happen!

“Made in USA” does not automatically mean higher quality.

Sure, it’s true that a lot of products made overseas are lower quality, whether we’re talking about fast fashion or cheap plastic toys.

But that’s not to say that other countries can’t produce long-lasting, durable, high-quality products, because they absolutely can. Most “luxury” fashion brands, for example, are made overseas.

“Made in the USA” does not automatically mean “made ethically.”

A lot of people think that “made in the USA” = “fair trade” and that “made in China” (or somewhere else) = “made with slave labor.”

While it’s certainly true that the United States tends to have stronger labor laws and more transparency than many other countries, we can’t make blanket statements like this.

There are sweatshops in America. And on the flip side, there are plenty of factories around the world treat workers fairly.

“Made in the USA” often means more expensive.

Sure, most of us would like to buy locally-made products as much as possible, but that’s not always possible if we’re on a budget. The truth is that the cost of living in America is higher than it is in places where a lot of products are made, like Vietnam, China, or Mexico, and therefore companies have to pay workers more. Since labor costs are so much higher in the U.S., the final product price is going to be higher too.

Some things simply cannot be made in the USA.

I have heard from so many brands (large and small) that simply cannot source or make their products or materials in the U.S. It’s not an option.

Some materials, like hemp, silicone, or latex, simply cannot be sourced from America at this time.

One small fashion brand even told me they had to switch from manufacturing in America to India because their orders kept getting bumped and delayed for larger brands. (Not cool!)

As you can see, “made in the USA” does not always mean “BETTER,” and “made overseas” does not always mean “cheap”, “toxic”, or “bad.” No matter where a product is made, it can be made ethically or not ethically, high-quality or low-quality. It just depends on the specific factory and team making the product.

All-American Non-Toxic & Sustainable Brands

Alright, now let’s get to the lists. As I said before, I’m giving you two separate sections. This first list includes brands whose products are not only assembled in the USA, but also source the majority (if not all) of their materials/ingredients/components from American vendors as well.

360 Cookware

According to their website, over 85 percent of 360’s stainless steel cookware production and components originate primarily in the USA. There are a few pieces they have to source from South Korea or China, but their goal is to get back to 100% American-made in the future. (I do think it’s cool how they have the breakdown of where each piece is sourced from on this page.)

360 caries pretty much every kind of cookware or bakeware you could want or need, from pots and pans to slow cookers, cookie sheets, loaf pans, and more.

American Blossom Linens

American Blossom Linens makes bedding and bath towels out of US-grown cotton. This company has been around for 122 years (!!) and they are now one of the oldest textile manufacturers in the USA.

This family-owned business is based in Georgia. Their yarn and fabric suppliers are mostly based in North and South Caroline, and they are members of the US Cotton Trust, which is a voluntary sustainability program and traceability platform for U.S. cotton.

A lot of their options are undyed. Using naturally colored cotton eliminates the need for fabric dyeing which saves water, prevents pollution, and keeps even more toxic chemicals out of our fabrics.

Anchor Hocking

If you want some American-made non-toxic food storage or glassware, Anchor Hocking is a great brand to check out.

They offer glass food storage (similar to Pyrex), glasses & mugs, bakeware, mixing bowls & measuring cups, pantry storage containers, and more.

A few of their products are made in China, but the vast majority of them are made in the USA. Their primary manufacturing facility is in Lancaster, Ohio (where they started), but they also have facilities in other states, including Indiana, Florida, and Georgia.

If you want to read an interesting account of Anchor Hocking, and how globalization and private equity have negatively affected American towns such as Lancaster, I recommend the book Glass House by Brian Alexander.

Aquanui

These water distillers are built by hand in Lincoln, Nebraska. They say they source from U.S. suppliers whenever possible; their stainless steel sheet metal, for example, comes from U.S. producers. 

They offer a variety of sizes, from countertop to 12-gallon distillers. Our contributor, Jeanne, has had an Aquanui for many years and is very happy with it! It does require an initial investment, but you don’t need to replace the filters like you do with other water filtration methods. It can remove/reduce a lot of contaminants, including PFAS, VOCs, and more. (You may want to remineralize it though, similar to reverse osmosis.)

California Cloth Foundry

This brand carries mostly-plastic-free clothing that’s made in the USA out of regenerative cotton.

Although not 100% of their materials are sourced from the U.S., the majority of them are. They use Texas-grown organic cotton, and they dye their fabrics using US-manufactured finishes made of plants and minerals, like chestnuts and madder root.

The California Cloth Foundry team says they prioritize working with American manufacturers and partner vendors who pay fair living wages as measured by the local workers, not a federal governing body outside that community.

---

Clara & Fritz

While not all of this brand’s ingredients are sourced locally, they do get all of their tallow (which is their star ingredient) from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef raised on U.S. farms. Their products are then put together by hand in their studio in Mullica Hill, New Jersey.

Nicole, the founder, also tries to partner with other small, local artisans when possible. For example, this gorgeous Heirloom Vanity Tray was handcrafted by artist and educator Danielle Klim in her Collingswood, NJ studio.

They carry soaps, cleansers, moisturizers, balms, and more.

---

Earth Harbor

Earth Harbor’s skincare products are made in Georgia and Utah.

They say they source from a range from small independent farmers and herbalists to larger cooperatives, predominantly from within the United States. They even go as far as sourcing their packaging locally and working with local farms to repurpose waste.

They make a lot of cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and other face/body care products. I really like a lot of Earth Harbor’s stuff… Stay tuned because I have a full review coming soon!

Field Company

Field Company’s cast iron cookware and bakeware is all 100% made in the USA with facilities in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. They use gray cast iron, steel, and recycled iron sourced from vendors in the USA.

Personally, I love cast iron. I use it every day. It’s a great investment because it can last generations. It can be a bit heavy and you do have to learn how to care for it (I promise it’s not that difficult!), but once you get the hang of it, it’s one of the best non-toxic cookware options.

Field Company offers pans, griddles, skillets, dutch ovens, and more.

---

GDS Cloth Goods / ebb

GDS’ main offering is a reusable coffee filter made of organic cotton. (You can see mind pictured above—it’s been reused many times!)

Their cotton is organically grown in Texas and milled in South Carolina. (For their aprons, they also use some upcycled cotton sourced from Guatemala.)

All of their products are sewn in the United States, either at small, family-owned Bay Area factories, or in-house at the GDS studio. The workers at their partner farms, mills, and sewing factories are all paid a living wage and work in safe conditions, and the GDS team works closely with them in order to ensure transparency.

Harvest & Mill

Harvest & Mill uses 70% less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional clothing brands as well as 50% less water consumption. Therefore they’ve been able to produce 100% carbon-neutral clothing (thanks in part its support of the Garcia River Forest reforestation project and the Capricorn Ridge Wind Farm).

Perhaps their biggest accomplishment, though, is their all-American supply chain, which is five times smaller than traditional supply chains. They use regenerative cotton that’s grown in the United States, work with textile and sewing factories in America, and support local farmers, all helping to sustain and rebuild local communities.

In addition, Harvest & Mill produces clothing with all-natural and non-toxic dyes. This gives their clothes a natural, unique look that is as healthy for the environment as it is beautiful. They offer tees, tanks, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, and more.

It may not be the most affordable option on this list, but if your budget allows for it, Harvest & Mill is one of the “cleanest” clothing brands on the market, both in terms of human and planetary health.

Liberty Tabletop

Liberty Tabletop says they are the only manufacturer of stainless steel flatware in America. Not only are their forks, spoons, and knives made in the USA, but they also purchase their stainless steel from U.S. steel mills and melt it in America as well.

Our contributor, Lauren, has a set of Liberty Tabletop silverware (pictured above) and she says she now always reaches for her Liberty silverware over her old set.

Her short review:

“It’s sturdy, comfortable, and made from 18/10 stainless steel. It’s not heavy but feels solid and well-made, and I truly feel like these will last a lifetime. I honestly think I’ll build on this set over time. I chose the classic, clean Betsy Ross style, which I don’t think will ‘go out of style’ ever.

From an environmental standpoint, Liberty Tabletop is American-made, and powered mainly via hydropower from Niagara Falls. Not only is this supporting USA manufacturing but it’s saving on thousands of miles of emissions from shipping overseas.”

Meliora

I love this cleaning brand; it’s one of the few that is locally-made, low-waste, and non-toxic.

Meliora told me that about 70% of their spend on raw materials is on US-made packaging and ingredients. For example, their baking soda comes from Wyoming and Colorado, and their soap boxes and paper canisters come from the Midwest.

The other ~30% of their ingredients (including the coconut oil and essential oils) come from places like Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Turkey. I really like how you can find out where everything comes from on this page.

My Green Mattress

This family-owned business makes their mattresses in La Grange, Illinois (outside of Chicago) and tries to source as much of their material from America as well.

The steel components for their springs come from Hickory, North Carolina, the fabric comes from the Southern U.S., their cotton comes from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and foam is sourced in Omaha, Nebraska. (I’m assuming the latex originally comes from overseas because it has to.)

Naturepedic

These organic mattresses are made in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, mostly by the Amish community who live there.

They try to source as much of their materials from the States as they can. They get their raw organic cotton batting from a collective of organic growers in Texas. Some of their fabrics and wooden foundations are sourced stateside as well.

Certain materials that cannot be obtained from America (like latex) are sourced overseas.

Stonelight Candle

Denise, the founder of Stonelight Candle, told me that in addition to her candles being poured in the U.S (Long Island), she also sources all of her materials from U.S.-based suppliers. She says that around 65-75% of the ingredients and materials she uses are sourced from the U.S., including wax, wicks, labels, and packaging. Some components, such as essential oils, may be imported by the suppliers.

---

Toups & Co

Toups & Co. is an all-natural personal care & cosmetics brand based in Alabama, where their products are made. Not only is Toups & Co. a small, family-owned brand, but they also try to source their ingredients from small, family-owned farms as well. (They even started a grant program to support the next generation of regenerative farmers!)

Although a lot of their ingredients (such as the tallow) is sourced from the U.S., not all of it is. Their essential oils, for example, are sourced globally.

Made in the USA Brands That Use Globally-Sourced Materials

The following brands are assembled in the United States, but they mostly use materials that are sourced from other countries. (Either that or I couldn’t find out where their ingredients come from. I’ve reached out to many of these brands and will update this article as I get answers!)

Activist Skincare: This low-waste skincare brand makes all of their goodies in their LA-based studio. They try to source their ingredients from the U.S. as much as possible. For example, their cucumber and calendula hydrosols are organically grown by small farmers in Oregon and their lavender hydrosol is made from lavender flowers from an organic farm in Washingtom. Here’s my full review.

Medley: Their furniture is made in California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Illinois out of globally-sourced materials.

Natasha Tonic: This low-plastic women’s swimwear brand cuts, sews, and dyes their pieces in the Los Angeles, California, USA. It’s not clear where exactly they source their fabrics from, but it’s probably not America since it’s still really difficult to get American-grown hemp.

Natural Home By The Futon Shop: Most of their furniture is made in the USA. They say they source materials that are harvested locally & whenever possible. For example, the organic cotton they use in their mattresses and futons is American. However, they do use a lot of other materials and it’s not clear where they are all sourced from.
