"a deeply personal health scare..."
Our co-founder Jill’s journey began with a deeply personal health scare—an allergic reaction on her face that wouldn’t go away. After a battery of tests, she discovered she was highly sensitive to propylene glycol, a chemical found in many conventional and even so-called "clean" beauty products.
The realization was a wake-up call: even products marketed as safe often weren’t. As Jill dove into ingredient lists, online databases, and research studies, she found just how widespread these chemicals were—and how little transparency existed.
Determined to find safer solutions, Jill began building her own database of truly non-toxic alternatives, starting with Amazon and Etsy. She tested and reviewed countless products and began to recognize patterns: brands that cut corners, ingredients that were repeat offenders, and products that genuinely delivered healthier results. What started with skincare soon expanded to haircare, household items, and beyond. Jill’s experience became a guiding force in The Tribalist’s mission to make sustainable living both accessible and practical.

"options that not only lasted but also avoided the health risks associated with synthetic coatings."
Similarly, during the pandemic, our co-founder Vipul became frustrated by costly, disposable nonstick cookware that quickly lost its effectiveness. Beyond their poor durability, he learned that many nonstick coatings especially those made from PTFE or PFOA can release toxic fumes when overheated and may leach microplastics or forever chemicals into food. His research led him back to durable, healthier materials like cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper options that not only lasted but also avoided the health risks associated with synthetic coatings.
Earlier in life, shaving sparked a similar realization. The cycle of disposable razor cartridges and canned shaving cream felt wasteful and unnecessarily expensive. Digging deeper, Vipul discovered that many shaving creams contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other chemical irritants that can harm sensitive skin or disrupt hormonal balance. He switched to traditional shaving soap, a brush, and a double-edge razor—enjoying a healthier shave with less waste and fewer questionable ingredients.
