About

Laurence, founder and editor of Naturaler

Hi, my name is Laurence Smith and I’m the founder and editor of Naturaler.

This site was launched in 2017 with the goal of answering several questions:

  • How can you live a more natural lifestyle in the modern world?
  • How can you protect yourself from the harmful chemicals we’re exposed to on a daily basis?
  • How can you limit the impact you have on the environment?

And…

How can you do all of this without rejecting modern technology and going to live in the woods?!

This site is for those who are looking to make more natural and eco friendly choices without giving up modern technology.

Trying to do this though can be overwhelming and expensive. It can be hard to know where to start, and which ‘natural’ products are legitimate and which aren’t.

On this site, we research the most natural and eco-friendly products in the UK and recommend the best. We try our best to give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

Our Principles

Here are the principles we try to follow:

  1. To be honest. There’s a lot of hype and ‘greenwashing’ in the natural and organic products industry. We try to research products thoroughly and tell you if they’re really natural or not. We will also tell you if there is no clear benefit to switching to a natural product.
  2. To be scientific. We look at the latest scientific research surrounding natural products to give you the most accurate information possible. Whenever writing about potential health effects of products or particular chemicals, we link to high-authority resources such as medical journals and the NHS so you can check what the experts say.
  3. To be clear. You shouldn’t need a PhD in chemistry or nutrition to understand our site. We try to give you the information you need to know in the clearest and most concise way possible.

We take accuracy very seriously, so if you find anything information to be incorrect, please contact us.
