A shocking list of chemicals and synthetic materials known to cause endocrine disruption, impacts on the heart and reproductive systems, diabetes, some cancers, and birth defects, to name a few.โ ๏ธ
Having these toxins in intimate contact with your body, specifically the skin around your ge****ls, for around 5 days every month is severely harmful to your health, as the skin around this area is highly permeable. Items that come in constant contact with your skin are absorbed into your bloodstream and distributed throughout your body.๐
