Have you ever stopped to think about what “fragrance” really means?
“Fragrance” isn’t an ingredient.
It’s a blanket term that can represent hundreds of undisclosed chemicals in a product.
Many synthetic fragrance chemicals have been studied for their potential to act as endocrine disruptors. This means they may interfere with the body’s normal hormone signaling. 😳
Over time, reducing unnecessary exposure to synthetic fragrances is one way many people choose to lower their overall chemical burden (also known as body burden in the wellness community)
Possible concerns associated with exposure to certain fragrance chemicals include:
• Headaches or migraines.
• Skin irritation and sensitivities.
• Respiratory irritation.
• Allergic reactions.
• Hormone disruption from certain fragrance ingredients.
• Worsening of asthma symptoms.
Our bodies are exposed to fragrances every day through:
😵💫 Personal care products.
😵💫 Laundry detergents and fabric softeners.
😵💫 Air fresheners and scented products.
😵💫 Household cleaners.
😵💫 Cosmetics.
😵💫 Lotions, shampoos, perfumes, and deodorants.
Awareness and knowledge are powerful when it comes to making better choices.
Reading labels, asking questions, and making simple swaps over time can make a meaningful difference in reducing your everyday exposure.
