Could your perfumes, lotions, soaps, and shampoos really be poisoning you?
It’s true.
More than that, it’s now being said that Fragrance is the New Second Hand Smoke, due to something called Phthalates.
Phthalates are solvents that are often used in cosmetics because they help fragrances last longer and also help lotions penetrate the skin.
Those are nice benefits, but they are known endocrine disruptors that have been linked to:
birth defects
breast cancer
infertility
diabetes
obesity
autoimmune disorders
and also autism and ADHD from exposure in the womb.
What is an endocrine disruptor? Basically your endocrine system (adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, sex hormones, and more) affect just about everything in your body. So if you disrupt them, you disrupt everything.
Fragrance is basically a catch word for all kinds of bad things. It can be labeled as “fragrance” or “parfum” and the real ingredients don’t need to be disclosed and have not been tested for safety.
“Fragrance” can be made up of 1, 2, or even hundreds of chemicals including phthalates.
Oh, and they are not regulated in food or personal care products in the U.S.
Nice……
No thanks, I don’t want these things in my products.
Please read the labels and see what’s really in your products.
