What is the purpose of this guide?
Every day, we are surrounded by chemicals that are more or less harmful to our health. These products have become so common in our lifestyle that we no longer pay them significant attention. Nonetheless, in cosmetics, soaps, children’s products, household products, and even the walls and floors of our homes, many toxic substances are present. Some of these substances are likely to cause irritation, endocrine disruption, or, more seriously, contribute to the development of sensitization (multiple chemical sensitivity) or cancer. Long-term exposure to all of these toxic substances is a concern. The purpose of this guide is therefore to provide information on substances to avoid in everyday products and to propose healthier, eco-friendly alternatives available on the market. We have also provided links to healthy do-it-yourself recipes. It is essential to act for your health and your loved ones’ while considering your impact on the environment. Let’s take back control of the ingredients we use, stay informed and live a healthier life together.
