How Toxic Is Your Environment?

Many cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products contain chemicals known as endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are certain substances that affect our endocrine system (a network of hormone-producing glands) by interfering with the normal functioning of hormones. The list of diseases implicated with chemical exposure is long and growing, with studies demonstrating their implication in several types of cancer, infertility, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal conditions and developmental disorders.

Common products to be wary of include:
〰️Dishwashing liquids/powders
〰️Laundry powder
〰️Perfumes
〰️Deodorant
〰️Shampoos & Conditioners
〰️Body Wash & Soap

While this list can seem overwhelming, a good place to start is once you run out of a product, try replacing it with a less toxic option. Low Tox Life and Nourished Life are helpful resources for those starting out on their low-tox journey.
