Curated detergent and fabric care swaps for safer laundry days
Laundry Detergent
Mainstream laundry detergents are one of the biggest sources of hidden toxins in the home. They often contain sulfates (like SLS/SLES) for foam, synthetic fragrance, optical brighteners, and phosphates. These can irritate skin, disrupt hormones, and pollute waterways when washed down the drain. Fragrance molecules cling to clothing fibres, creating a “clean smell” that can actually expose you to phthalates and VOCs all day long. Optical brighteners are also non-biodegradable, and many detergent surfactants harm aquatic life even at low concentrations.

Deodorants
Conventional deodorants and antiperspirants often rely on aluminum salts to block sweat glands, along with synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and petrochemical-based ingredients. While these formulas stop sweat, they also interfere with your body’s natural detox process and can disrupt the skin’s microbiome, leading to irritation, clogged pores, or increased odor over time.
Some also contain triclosan (an antibacterial banned in some regions) or phthalates, which are linked in research to hormone disruption and endocrine interference.
