Have you ever thought that brushing your teeth, washing your face, taking a bath, washing your hair, and washing clothes every day, these seemingly daily small actions, are actually exposed to various chemicals unknowingly?
Have you ever thought that brushing your teeth, washing your face, taking a bath, washing your hair, and washing clothes every day, these seemingly daily small actions, are actually exposed to various chemicals unknowingly?
Many cleaning products contain petrochemical ingredients. Although they can help us stay clean, these ingredients may pose a potential threat to our health. Imagine that these chemicals enter our bodies through the skin. Long-term accumulation may cause allergic reactions, such as urticaria or psoriasis, or even more serious health problems, such as coughing and asthma.
Transdermal toxins refer to toxins that can enter the human body through the skin, dissolve in the blood and lymph, and cause harm to the body. Many products in daily life, such as toiletries, detergents, cosmetics, mosquito repellents, and medicines applied to the body, may contain these toxins. These chemicals are usually small molecules and are easily absorbed through the skin and deposited in the body. This process is called "transdermal absorption."
The harm of transdermal toxins to the body mainly includes the following aspects:
- Disruption of hormone balance: Some chemicals can interfere with the hormone balance in the human body. For women, they can enter the uterus, and for men, they can enter the testicles, thereby disrupting the hormone balance and causing infertility.
- Cause cancer: Some studies have shown that long-term exposure to transdermal toxins may increase the risk of cancer.
- Cause skin diseases: Transdermal toxins may cause skin diseases such as skin allergies.
- Other health problems: Transdermal toxins may also cause gynecological diseases, affect reproductive health and other health problems.
For our health, we should consider choosing environmentally friendly brands of cleaning products. These products usually do not contain harmful petrochemical ingredients, but use safer and more natural formulas. Although they may be slightly more expensive, considering the value of health, this is an expense worth investing.
Choosing environmentally friendly brands is not only to protect the environment, but also to protect ourselves and our families. Let us move towards a healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyle together!
