Episode notes
Choose Clean Makeup To Avoid Heavy Metals
- Avoid conventional makeup that may contain heavy metals like lead plus parabens and phthalates.
- Choose organic or natural cosmetic brands to limit transdermal and oral absorption of toxins from lipsticks and cosmetics.
Use Simple Natural Personal Care Products
- Use chemical-free moisturizers, shampoos, and soaps to reduce transdermal absorption.
- Look for products without triclosan, SLS, or antibacterial agents; brands like Dr. Bronner's offer gentler options.
Replace Scented Candles And Air Fresheners
- Stop using scented candles and chemical air fresheners; they release carcinogenic inflammatory compounds.
- Swap to essential oil diffusers or beeswax candles for scent without toxic airborne chemicals.
