Personal Care & Allergies
Personal Care & Allergies Shampoos, soaps, lotions, deodorants, makeup, hair dyes, sunscreens & more — everyday essentials hiding toxins like PFAS (forever chemicals in 1,700+ products), formaldehyde releasers (carcinogen), phthalates/parabens (hormone disruptors), 1,4-dioxane traces, and synthetic fragrances. Common allergens trigger rashes, eczema, asthma: fragrances (top culprit), preservatives (quats, MI/MCI, parabens), dyes (PPD), essential oils (limonene/linalool), propylene glycol. Check breakdowns, EWG ratings/hazard scores, and switch to non-toxic: fragrance-free/hypoallergenic, EWG Verified® brands (e.g., Attitude, Think Dirty picks, or plant-based like castile soap, aloe vera, coconut oil), or DIY gentle options for sensitive skin, reduced irritation, and family-safe routines.
