Plastic does not belong here.
It belongs in many things. In bumpers, in pipes, in the housings of useful machines. It does not belong in the soap that touches your skin every morning, in the food that goes into your child, in the powder that washes your sheets.
The shelf began as one observation: that the products we live with most closely are the ones we examine least. ONLIVA is the response — a curated shelf for the categories where plastic should not be a default.
We did the reading so you do not have to.
What we live with
100%
of human placentas tested contain microplastics.
Ragusa et al. · 2020.
0.5%
of human brain tissue weight is microplastic — and rising year over year.
Nihart et al. · Nature Medicine · 2024.
Every
category we sell has either a fully passing product or a Best Available named in full.
The ONLIVA Standard.
The Standard.
Two tiers, both published. Products that meet the rule fully are The Standard. Products in categories where no fully passing version yet exists are Best Available — the cleanest option currently available, with the specific exception named and disclosed in full.
Each product on the shelf carries the tier it earned. The standard is binary, and the exceptions are individually documented.
The standard is the rule. The exceptions are the work.
