For decades, first aid has looked the same.
Same beige boxes. Same plastic-heavy materials. Same questionable ingredients. Same assumption that we shouldn’t ask too many questions about the products we put on our skin.
At All Better Co., we believe that’s no longer good enough.
That’s why we’re launching Better News, our new blog dedicated to modern first aid, PFAS-free bandages, clean ingredients, and skin-safe everyday care.
This is where we’ll share what we’re learning, questioning, building, and reimagining as we work to create a better standard for first aid.
Because your skin deserves more than legacy thinking.
When we started All Better Co., it wasn’t because we wanted to make “cuter bandages.”
It was because we couldn’t believe how little innovation had happened in a category that touches nearly every household.
We live in a world where:
-
Our food labels are scrutinized
-
Our skincare is ingredient-conscious
-
Our baby products are held to higher safety standards
But first aid products, the bandages, sprays, patches, and kits we use on broken skin — have barely evolved.
Welcome to our space to:
-
Talk openly about PFAS-free bandages, non-toxic first aid, and safer materials
-
Explore the connection between first aid and skin health
-
Break down what “clean,” “natural,” and “gentle” actually mean (and where they fall short)
-
Share behind-the-scenes insights from building a modern first aid brand
-
Offer practical education for families navigating everyday skin situations, cuts, scrapes, bites, burns, rashes, and more
Better News is not a product blog.
And it’s not a medical blog.
It’s a clean first aid + skin health + category rethink blog.
Here’s what we’ll be covering:
1. Modern First Aid Education
We’ll explore how first aid has historically been designed, why it hasn’t evolved, and what a more thoughtful approach looks like today.
This includes:
-
PFAS-free bandages and plastic-free alternatives
-
Bamboo bandages and eco-friendly materials
-
The environmental impact of traditional disposables
-
Why design matters in family first aid kits
-
How first aid can be both functional and beautiful in real life
2. Skin Health & First Aid for Sensitive Skin
Your skin is your largest organ, yet it’s often treated as an afterthought in first aid.
We’ll talk about:
-
Why supporting the skin barrier matters when treating wounds
-
How ingredients can help or hinder healing
-
The difference between simply covering a cut and actually supporting skin recovery
-
First aid for sensitive skin, kids’ skin, and reactive skin
Because first aid should be skin-safe, not just sticky.
3. Clean Ingredients & Non-Toxic First Aid
“Clean” is an unregulated term. So is “natural.” So is “gentle.”
We’ll break down:
-
What these words really mean in first aid products
-
Where brands can be misleading (intentionally or not)
-
How to read labels in the first aid aisle
-
Why non-toxic first aid and ingredient transparency matter
-
What makes a product truly skin-supportive vs. just compliant
This includes deep dives into things like:
-
PFAS in bandages
-
Adhesives and skin irritation
-
Preservatives, fragrances, and sensitizers
So you can make informed choices without needing a chemistry degree.
4. Parenting, Real Life & Everyday First Aid Moments
Most first aid happens in real life, not emergencies.
On playgrounds.
In kitchens.
At camp.
In backpacks.
On vacations.
In the middle of the night.
We’ll share:
-
Real-world scenarios
-
Practical tips for parents and caregivers
-
How to build a non-toxic first aid kit for your family
-
What to keep in your bag, car, and home
-
The emotional side of caring for kids, families, and ourselves
Because first aid is deeply human.
Why This Matters (And Why We Care So Much)
First aid sits at a unique intersection.
It’s:
-
Universal, every household needs it
-
Intimate, it touches our bodies, our kids, our skin
-
Trust-based, we assume it’s safe
-
Under-examined, we rarely question it
That combination is powerful. And it comes with responsibility.
At All Better Co., we’re not interested in being “another option on the shelf.”
We’re here to help redefine what modern first aid can and should be.
From PFAS-free bamboo bandages to plant-powered itch relief to skin-supportive sprays, we’re building first aid that reflects how people actually live today, with higher standards, more awareness, and more care.
