🧠 HORMONE-SAFE CLEANING: 4 Ingredients Your Body Doesn’t Want to See Again

Fatigue, irregular cycles, migraines, or mood swings? You might think it’s just stress… but part of the problem could be hiding in your cleaning cabinet.

Certain ingredients in conventional cleaning products have been linked to endocrine disruption, affecting hormones in both men and women. This guide breaks down: ✅ 4 common ingredients to avoid
✅ Their health risks backed by scientific studies
✅ How to recognize them on labels
✅ And what to do instead

1. Glycol Ethers (e.g., Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether)

🧪 Linked to: Reproductive toxicity (Study)
📊 NIH study: Chronic exposure showed reproductive effects in 25% of frequent users.

🔍 Look for: “glycol ether,” “dipropylene glycol,” or “propylene glycol” on ingredient lists.

2. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats: ADBAC / DDAC)

🧪 Linked to: Hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, asthma
📊 PubMed clinical studies: Up to 3x increased risk of respiratory symptoms and thyroid changes.

🔍 Look for: “benzalkonium chloride,” “quaternary ammonium,” “ADBAC,” “DDAC.”

3. Ethoxylated Alcohols Contaminated with 1,4-Dioxane

🧪 Linked to: Possible endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity (Study)
📊 EPA reports show contamination up to 600 ppm in household cleaners.

🔍 Look for: ingredients ending in “-eth” (e.g., laureth, myreth, ceteareth), or labeled as "ethoxylated."

4. Synthetic Fragrances with Phthalates (e.g., DEP, DBP)

🧪 Linked to: Hormonal symptoms, irregular cycles, low testosterone
📊 In a 2016 study, 40% of women using fragranced cleaning products reported hormonal symptoms and migraines.

🔍 Look for: “fragrance” or “parfum” with no disclosure of components.

⚠️ Key Hormonal Risks Associated:

• Irregular menstrual cycles

• Early menopause

• Infertility

• Thyroid imbalance

• Low testosterone in men

✅ What You Can Do Today
