Conventional cleaning products are filled with chemicals that can be very harsh on human (and animal) body systems. After using these products, their gases/synthetic fragrances and chemicals can remain in the air and on surfaces for long periods, leaving the air and surface quality inside our homes poor. Many of these chemicals are added to personal care products, which we then apply to our skin, allowing them to sit on and be absorbed into our bodies. Our bodies are amazing, and can adapt to and deal with many different toxins, but the short and long-term burden to our bodies is not yet fully understood. If we can reduce or eliminate the amount of exposure to some of these toxins, it is a great start to living a healthier life.
