Welcome to SMORES!

Our bodies are naturally designed to heal themselves when provided with the right environment—and this reflects the natural world too. We possess true resilience, but somewhere along the way, the balance was disrupted. The loss of wildlife, the presence of toxins in our waterways, and the invasion of forever chemicals and microplastics have left us questioning what is safe and what we can do.

That’s where SMORES steps in. We’re here to help restore balance by empowering people to understand that our health is deeply intertwined with the health of the planet. By returning to balance, we can heal both.

At SMORES, you’ll discover how simple it is to detox, live healthier, reduce your environmental footprint, and even save money in the process.

SMORES was created as a one-stop shop for stewardship, aiming to improve the health of both our ecosystems and our homes. We promote easy yet impactful ways for each of us to contribute to a healthier planet and healthier lives.
