Each day, more and more people are unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals through their personal care products and household cleaning products. In our homes we find ourselves applying these products which contain toxic ingredients to our skin, the largest organ in our bodies. And we are breathing the scent and fumes from household cleaning products, further exposing our bodies to toxic ingredients that affect our health in very negative ways.
Some people have become so sick from their beauty products that they have been diagnosed with MCS, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
The only way we can limit our exposure to such toxins in the home is by having a bit of information at hand which will facilitate us in the choices we make daily.
Just because it’s on a store shelf, doesn’t mean it is safe
It will most probably disturb you greatly to know that:
- Fifty four percent of the personal care products violate safety recommendations.
- Nearly 70% of all products reviewed were found to have products tainted with impurities that may be linked to cancer and other health problems.

Great, now what do you do?
We all want our homes and workplaces to smell good. We subconsciously let scents directly affect our mood. Typically, this is a good thing, except when we are inhaling toxic cancer causing chemicals disguised as innocent air fresheners. Many health hazards were discussed in part 2 of this series. If you have not yet read it, I encourage you to do so before reading about the safe, organic, non toxic choices below. 
Air fresheners are a huge business. We all want our homes, cars and workplaces to smell fresh and clean, vibrant or relaxing. So, when we’re shopping and smell a fragrance like vanilla, or one that reminds us of our childhood home or garden, instinctively we reach for it and put it in our cart, because the smell made us happy, or maybe relaxed. Not once do we stop to read the list of ingredients in that scented candle or spray air freshener. After all, if it says “vanilla” or “lavender”, we expect we are in fact smelling real vanilla or lavender.
We, John Q. Public, believe that our government and Medical monitoring agencies have out best interest at heart, and will protect us and keep us safe from harm. Sadly, that it not the case many times. Many of the household cleaning products we use in homes are actually health hazards.
