The Scent of Clean Or The Scent of Chemicals?

The Scent of Clean Or The Scent of Chemicals?

When “Mountain Fresh” Means a Chemical Wasteland. We’ve been conditioned to think that the smell wafting out of traditional detergent bottles is the scent of clean. But the dirty truth: we’ve been duped!  Those so-called “lavender fields” and “mountain fresh spring” aromas? Just a bunch of chemicals. At best, they mask odors; at worst, they can wreak havoc on your skin, health, and planet. Big yikes!

Text Message - Fresh or Chemical Wasteland

⚠️Phosphates: Can irritate skin and disrupt hormonal balance. When they enter waterways through wastewater, they can create algae blooms that choke marine life.

⚠️Synthetic Fragrances: Can trigger nasty problems like respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritations, even endocrine disruptions. Oh, and they’re toxic to marine life, too.

⚠️ Non-biodegradable Surfactants: These substances stick around the environment like a smelly houseguest. They also, you guessed it, harm life underwater and can irritate our skin.

⚠️1,4-Dioxane: A probable cancer-causing (!) byproduct of detergent manufacturing can be found in many old-school liquid detergents.

(Check your labels :))

We’ve also been taught to use hot water to truly clean grime. Not only does hot water wreck performance fibers in your leggings, sports bras, and moisture-wicking clothes, but it’s also a gut punch to the planet. Washing in cold water uses less energy and is just as effective at cleaning what you cherish.
