»» When working towards eliminating toxic exposure, transparency on your labels is VITAL!
❌ “Fragrance” is a loophole that needs to be avoided. There are NO laws requiring the ingredients in fragrance to be disclosed to consumers and it’s always a toxic storm that compromises your health.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝟯,𝟭𝟲𝟰 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.
»» Plugging those individual ingredients into the EWG database tells us that… 1 in 20 earned a “high” hazard score (7-10 of 10), and 1 in 6 rated at least a “moderate” hazard score (3-10 of 10). 25 of them scored a 10, the highest toxicity rating.
