Chemical Air Fresheners V Natural Diffusers

Hello again, I’m on a bit of a rant this month.

I want to help you get that toxic stuff out of your house.

As we move into Autumn and inside our houses again we want them to smell great and help us feel great.

BUT

Are we causing ourselves chemical overload by inhaling in harmful chemicals and pollutants?

Who do you know with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, Cancer?

The sad thing is, we're contributing to the issue daily by using toxic cleaners, fragrances, body products, lawn care, and garden sprays and fertilizers.

Did you know there are 100+ chemicals in artificial fragrances?

It’s not meant to be like this.

We all want our homes and cars to smell good, right? But are some of the products we are using harming us and our health? The research now is showing YES!

Assortment of means for cleaning isolated

There is some very sneaky labeling of chemical fragrances.

We are surrounded by household cleaners, laundry products, air fresheners, sunscreen, shampoo, soap, body wash, deodorant, body lotion, makeup, facial cream, skin toner, serums, exfoliating scrubs, and perfumes—all with unnamed artificial fragrance blends.

What are these air fresheners made of? Chemical toxins!

When looking for air fresheners it is wise to read the labels to see what they do contain.

• respiratory irritants
• endocrine disruptors
• neurotoxins
• allergens
• environmental toxins
