Yesterday, I chatted about sulfates in shampoo and how sulfates can affect our health. One of the number one places you will find icky toxic sulfates? Laundry detergent. Yep- the unfortunate truth is that many popular household cleaning products are not clean at all. (Hint: if you google “sulfates laundry detergent”, check out the first two ads that automatically pop-up…)

In case you missed the point yesterday, sulfates in our shampoos, soaps and cleaners are real. bad. news. They are cheap and cheerful for manufacturers, and even consumers, but the price is very high for our health. Many people complain about reacting to different types of laundry detergent- from minor skin irritation to serious allergic reactions. The likely culprit? You guessed it: sulfates. Let’s say it together, peeps “keep them sulfates away from me!”
