Summary
Sulfates in shampoo. Aluminum in deodorant. Synthetic fragrances in skincare and household products. Emilie Toups, of Toups and Co Organics, today explains what to watch out for on the products we put on (and around) our bodies. She covers how the aforementioned chemicals can disrupt our hormone function and overall health. She explains how her journey to heal her daughter's eczema compelled her to research toxins. And she offers insights on simple swaps like fragrance-free laundry detergent in place of those with artificial "springtime" fragrance, tallow or emu oil instead of lotion, and how we might even ditch our shampoo products altogether.

| 0:27.4 | these products that are being put out on the shelf. |
| 0:29.7 | And I really think that's a two-edge sort |
| 0:31.9 | because most of your options for organic, clean, |
| 0:36.6 | really great products, talking not greenwashing, |
| 0:40.0 | but really clean, nourishing products |
