⁠CLICK to ⁠⁠GRAB YOUR GUIDE
In this episode, Robin and Sharon dive into the importance of understanding toxic ingredients in cleaning products especially when it comes to breast cancer prevention. They discuss harmful substances like phthalates, triclosan, and formaldehyde, and why fragrance-free alternatives are critical for a healthier home.
Sharon shares personal experiences in transitioning to safer products, while both hosts offer practical tips like switching to natural cleaning solutions and using essential oils. This conversation highlights how small, intentional changes can make a big difference in long-term health.
Key Takeaways:
Fragrance in products can be harmful endocrine disruptors.

Phthalates often hide under the term 'fragrance.'

Triclosan is a common antibacterial agent to avoid.

Switching to glass containers can reduce BPA exposure.

Bleach can cause upper respiratory issues and should be replaced with safer alternatives.

Formaldehyde is a carcinogen commonly found in household products—it's essential to avoid it for long-term health.

Vinegar is a simple, effective, and safe cleaning agent that can replace many toxic chemical cleaners.

Essential oils not only enhance cleaning but improve air quality with their natural properties.

Making small changes over time leads to significant health benefits—start with one product swap at a time.

Awareness and education are key to making informed, healthier choices for you and your family.

A few helpful apps for identifying safer alternatives:
Think Dirty: An app that scans personal care products and rates them based on toxicity, making it easy to choose safer options.
