Who is interested in a room by room, low tox home guide? Think everything from water filters and mattress to candles and hand soap, one swap at a time 🤍
Our kids pajamas, our mattresses, and couches, are drenched in infertility-causing flame retardants because of government incompetence
Instead of regulating indoor smoking back in the ‘50s, the government thought it would be a better idea to saturate our homes and children’s clothes with chemical flame retardants.
We know these chemicals are toxic and cause cancer and infertility. Yet the Flammable Fabrics Act is still in effect today.
Of course 1 in 4 couples struggle to conceive. Of course 1 in 2 people get cancer in their lives. Of course the majority of people have 1 or more chronic illness. Our homes are FULL of toxins.
What can we do? Choose certified organic clothing, mattresses, couches, and even carpet. At the very least choose OEKO-TEX Standard 100 products which bans the worst flame retardants.
Opt for natural materials like wool which is naturally flame resistant, look for statements from manufacturers that say “This product contains NO added flame retardant chemicals” or contact them if it is unclear.
