The Big List of Things That Suck - No.33 - FRAGRANCE
According to the National Academy of Sciences, more than 95 percent of the chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum, including toxins that have been linked to allergic reactions, among other things. More and more people are claiming “fragrance sensitivity” responsible for migraines, sinus attacks and more, yet since the industry is self-regulating, there’s no hard data calculating this cause-and-effect.
Where to find it: There are over 5,000 different fragrances used in household products like shampoo, laundry soap, cleaners and even foods.
Suck less: If you see the word “fragrance” on a label, put that baby back on the shelf.
