Safe Suds Company by Addy Horton

Please give a brief synopsis of you and your business! 

My name is Addie Horton and I am 16 years old! I sell low toxic cleaning products and am continuing to experiment with different cleaners to expand my brand!

What inspired you to create your brand? 

The world is full of toxins that are not good for us and these chemicals disrupt many things in our body. I want to be able to use better products that I know are safe yet efficient!  

How long have you been making your own homemade cleaning supplies? 

I started making my own laundry detergent back in June of 2025! I am continuing to try, and experiment with different products!

When did you decide to make your products into a business and why? 

I Started thinking about selling products back in November and then in January I started to bring that thought to life! I wanted other people to be able to find natural cleaning products that they know they can rely on! It was also an easy way for me to make some income as I am at home more often than not! 

Why did you choose to make these products non-toxic?

I wanted simple ingredients that cut out harmful side effects as mentioned earlier! I’ve struggled with fatigue and some hormonal imbalances, I also struggled with POTS syndrome for years and I noticed that once I started eating more natural foods, along with reading and changing the ingredients that I was putting on and around my body, everything started to change! When you begin to understand that the products you clean with, the things you eat, and the clothes that you wear are a direct tie to your health, you can’t help but begin to take action to be the healthiest version of yourself, and that’s just what I’ve started to do! I knew that if I was the one who was making the cleaning products that I was in direct charge of what was going into everything. Therefore I am being in direct charge of my health. The benefits are really amazing and my hope is that everyone can begin to make small changes for their health one cleaning product at a time! 

What would you say is the overall mission of your brand? Do you hope to bring more attention to the necessity of clean products? 

I just really hope that everyone can begin to understand and take charge of the cleaning products that they use and see that the way that most people feel is not the normal and that we have so much more potential!
