SafeorToxic Writing Team

While modern laundry detergents are effective, many contain synthetic chemicals that can be highly toxic if ingested, inhaled, or left on the skin. Ingredients like surfactants (SLS), synthetic fragrances, and optical brighteners are common triggers for chronic allergies, contact dermatitis, and respiratory issues. To ensure safety, look for fragrance-free, plant-based detergents and always rinse clothes thoroughly.
