Why this kit is unique
This kit is designed specifically for women and couples planning a pregnancy. During the preconception phase, many people choose to minimise exposure to unnecessary chemicals, especially substances that may interfere with hormonal balance.
Each product has been selected because it:
• avoids many commonly debated ingredients in conventional cosmetics (such as parabens, phthalates, and certain synthetic fragrances)
• relies on plant-based ingredients whenever possible
• carries recognised natural or ecological certifications where available
• uses minimal packaging or solid formats to reduce plastic waste
• reduces unnecessary water transport through concentrated formulas
This way, the kit supports both your well-being and the environment.
Who is this kit for?
• Obviously, for women and couples planning to conceive
• People who want to reduce exposure to unnecessary chemicals
• Anyone seeking natural, eco-friendly daily products
• Expats in the Netherlands looking for trusted European natural brands
🌱 Why eco-labels matter
Many products in this kit carry trusted European certifications such as:

ECOCERT / COSMOS
Ensures natural ingredients, environmentally responsible production, and restrictions on synthetic chemicals.

NATRUE
One of the strictest international standards for true natural cosmetics, focusing on transparency and natural raw materials.

EU Ecolabel
A European certification guaranteeing reduced environmental impact throughout the product’s life cycle.
These labels provide independent verification, helping consumers choose products that are safer for both people and the planet.
♻️ Designed with sustainability in mind
This kit also reduces environmental impact through:
• solid bars instead of liquid products where possible
• concentrated cleaners that reduce water transport
• biodegradable ingredients
• minimal plastic packaging
By replacing everyday products with more natural and concentrated alternatives, you reduce waste and unnecessary transport emissions.
Why a hormone-friendly home environment matters for fertility
When preparing for pregnancy, nutrition and supplements are often the first focus. However, research increasingly shows that the everyday environment can also influence hormonal balance and reproductive health.
Many daily products — including cosmetics, cleaning products, plastics and fragrances — may contain substances known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These chemicals can interfere with the body’s hormonal system by mimicking, blocking or altering natural hormones. Because hormones regulate processes such as ovulation, sperm quality, implantation and early fetal development, limiting unnecessary exposure during the preconception period can be a sensible precaution.
What institutions say about a hormone-friendly environment
Public health organisations increasingly highlight the importance of awareness around these substances. The Dutch public health institute RIVM explains that certain chemicals can influence the hormonal system and that reducing exposure where possible can contribute to a healthier environment. Dutch consumer platform Milieu Centraal also advises paying attention to ingredients in cosmetics, plastics and cleaning products. Netherlands’ Government information platform “Zwanger” encourages prospective parents to make conscious choices about lifestyle and environmental exposures before pregnancy. At Zwangerwijzer, you can fill in a questionnaire and instantly receive practical information and tips.
At the European level, both the European Chemicals Agency and the European Food Safety Authority assess substances that may interfere with the hormone system as part of European chemical safety regulation.
Preconception and nature-conscious choices
For this reason, the Preconception Home Kit focuses on products that minimise unnecessary synthetic fragrance, avoid common hormone-disrupting ingredients where possible, and prioritise natural or certified ecological formulations. Many of the products also reduce plastic packaging and unnecessary water transport through concentrated or solid formats.
The goal is not perfection, but a gentler, more hormone-friendly home environment during the important months before conception — supporting the foundations of preconception health alongside nutrition, lifestyle and personalised care.
