I’ve got a confession: I used to trust detergents—until I learned they’re packed with endocrine disruptors. These chemical mimics throw your hormones off-kilter, and that’s not something anyone would want. I can't even walk past the chemical detergent aisles without feeling a headache now!
Toxins in Detergents
-
Endocrine Disruptors:
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs): Breaks down into hormone-like compounds—banned in the EU but still in some imports. - Phthalates: Adds long lasting “fresh scent”—linked to reproductive issues and allergies.
-
Surfactants:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): Very harsh on the skin (and hair), and strips away natural oils—Please check your soaps and shampoos too!
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES): Often contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a carcinogen. - Phosphates: Harms our rivers—banned in many cleaners but check labels!
- Synthetic Dyes & Fragrances: Up to 100 chemicals per “scent”—triggers asthma, headaches, or worse.
