Fragrances

Condition
Toxic chemicals in perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, and detergents that are like permanent tattoos - they never go away once embedded in homes, clothing, and bodies. Forever fragrances are a major health threat.
  • Floating metals: Air fresheners contain floating metals that poison the air
  • Dryer dust exposure: Dryer dust is exhaust in outside air from dryers in homes using conventional laundry products, colognes, perfumes, scented candles, and air fresheners. This is extremely toxic when any fragrances are used in the home, and neighbors get exposed.
  • Dryer exhaust is toxic combination: Dryer exhaust is a combination of the air fresheners in the home plus perfumes, colognes, scented candles, cosmetics, and body products saturating all of the clothes being laundered combined with the fragrances of laundry detergents and fabric softeners used, all blowing out with hot air and polluting the environment.
  • Fragrance labeling loopholes: Fragrances are unidentified chemicals. One loophole in the chemical industry: fragrances don't have to list the multiple chemicals within them. When you see the word 'fragrance' in a list of ingredients, you're looking at corruption—a host of different chemicals that won't be listed as ingredients.
  • Fragrances don't dissipate: Fragrances are unlike other toxic chemicals—many toxic chemicals have a shelf life and dissipate over time. Rain can dilute certain outdoor toxic chemicals. But rain cannot thin out a toxic chemical saturated with fragrance. Fragrances are created to last extremely long and not dissipate. In many cases, fragrance is unstoppable.
  • Fragrances harbor mold: Fragrances can become mold-harboring. A film begins to develop from burning scented candles or using plug-in air fresheners, and that film collects on every fabric and fixture inside the home, trapping particles of dust and debris. Trapped in the film, this debris can harbor moisture, creating a perfect situation for mold to grow.
  • Survival instinct suppression: Fragrances numb the senses, taking away instinctual survival abilities - can't smell mold if dowsed in air freshener
  • Permanent saturation: Fragrances saturate closets, bedrooms, houses, cars, clothing and become a permanent fragrance ball
  • Fulfillment center contamination: Fulfillment centers and warehouses are shipping out products such as clothing that are saturated with air fresheners, contaminating the products that arrive at our homes and workplaces.
  • Clean products still contain fragrances: Many people in the health scene are using clean makeup, clean hair care products, clean skin products. Meanwhile, these products all have either fragrances or natural fragrances or perfume in them. If you saw those chemicals being put into a fragrance in a chemical factory with hazmat suits, you would be shocked.
  • Common fragrance exposure sources: Plug-in air fresheners, scented candles, aerosol-can air fresheners, spray-bottle air fresheners and mists, cologne and aftershave, perfume, car air fresheners, incense, scent diffusers, scented body lotions/creams/sprays/washes/deodorants, scented shampoos/conditioners/gels/hair products, scented laundry detergent/fabric softener/dryer sheets, cosmetics and makeup.
  • Scented candles saturate walls: Scented candles and plug-in air fresheners saturate walls. Even if the person using them moves out, anyone who moves into the home or office afterward has to contend with this lingering scent.
  • Fragrances accelerate existing mold: Someone often uses fragrance in the first place to cover the smell of mold or mildew in a space. Where mold is already present, adding fragrance products such as air fresheners or scented candles can accelerate the mold.
  • Fragrance industry goals: The fragrance sector of the chemical industry has a set of goals: (1) keep their chemicals in mass production, (2) condition and train people to believe they need synthetic fragrances, (3) take away any future chance for someone to know what nature really smells like. We're coming to a time when we'll only be surrounded by contaminating fragrances.
  • Natural fragrance loophole: Using a product that lists 'natural fragrance' is not a way out. There are still chemical industry fragrances in natural fragrances. The chemical industry is allowed to call a fragrance 'natural' if there's one single essential oil added to the mix of industrial chemicals.
  • Hidden labels for fragrances: What you'll find listed in scented products are 'fragrance' or 'natural fragrance' or 'perfume' or 'parfum'. You will not see the list of chemicals in that fragrance or perfume. Even if it says 'naturally derived,' it still doesn't get a free pass.
