About

Hey, my name is Derek and I’m excited that you’ve joined us!

As an environmental scientist, my education and career have been devoted to understanding and addressing the impact of chemicals and toxins on our environment and health.

Having earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science from the University of Oregon and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science from Johns Hopkins University, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the harmful effects of various chemicals.

My professional work experience spans roles in toxicology and government environmental laboratories, providing me with a unique and expert perspective on how toxic chemicals infiltrate our daily lives.

From personal care products to cookware, clothing, and cleaning supplies, harmful substances are often lurking in everyday items.

Alarmingly, many of these chemicals have not been adequately studied for their long-term effects on human health or the environment.

In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly exposed to a stream of new materials and products. This creates a scenario where we are unknowingly participating in a massive experiment with potentially devastating consequences for both our health and the planet. 

Despite this challenge, I firmly believe that everyone deserves access to safe, non-toxic products.

This belief fuels my mission: to research, test, and review non-toxic alternatives to help individuals make informed decisions. 

By providing detailed, unbiased information about safer products, I aim to empower consumers to protect themselves and their families while supporting a healthier environment. 

My ultimate goal is to offer peace of mind through trustworthy guidance in navigating the overwhelming array of product choices in today’s market.

So join us on our mission at NonToxicOnly.com and feel free to share our content with your friends and family to look out for their health and wellbeing.

Sincerely,

Derek Ma, MSc
