Synthetic fragrances are one of the biggest daily sources of hormone disruption.
And the worst offenders aren’t occasional exposures, they’re the ones we wear on our bodies and breathe in all day long.
Things like laundry detergent, perfume and cologne, shampoo, and body lotion.
Our bodies were never designed to withstand this kind of constant chemical exposure in products that we wear all day.
The good news is these are also some of the easiest swaps you can make to support your hormones and overall health.
Here are a few simple ways to reduce fragrance exposure:
1️⃣ Switch to unscented laundry detergent (fragrance-free, not “clean-scented”)
2️⃣ Skip perfume and cologne for daily wear, or switch to natural essential oil-based fragrances.
3️⃣ Choose unscented or naturally scented shampoo and conditioner
4️⃣ Swap body lotion for fragrance-free options, or only all-natural options.
5️⃣ Be cautious with “natural” products, because fragrance is still fragrance, even when it sounds clean
You don’t have to do all of this at once. Pick one thing and start there and the small changes will add up.
If you’re wondering whether fragrances are affecting your hormones, that’s exactly what we help uncover.
