The Hidden Dangers of Synthetic Fragrances in Soap
Fragrance plays a significant role in your soap, but not all scents are created equal. Many soaps use synthetic fragrances, which can be made from a cocktail of undisclosed chemicals. While they may smell great, these synthetic scents could be harmful to your health.
What’s Inside Synthetic Fragrances:
• Chemical Exposure: Synthetic fragrances can contain hundreds of chemicals, including phthalates, which are known to interfere with hormone function. Over time, exposure can lead to reproductive and developmental issues.
• Skin Irritation: People with sensitive skin often react to synthetic fragrances with irritation, itching, or inflammation.
• Environmental Concerns: Many synthetic fragrances release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to indoor air pollution and can be harmful when washed down the drain.
