I might be eating fabric softener

🌿 Don't you think it's safe because it smells good?

Used in commercial softeners and detergents

microcapsules.

Did you know that small particles of plastic that trap scent?

I wanted to be told, "It smells good."

When I was using fabric softener.

However, for many years I had a headache and rough skin.

Upon examination... the cause was "scent grains."

That's the microcapsule.

Every time you give off a scent, both to your body and to the earth

It was a small burden.

adhere to clothes when washing,

When rubbed or heated, it bursts and emits a scent.

But with the grain, the scent

It also penetrates our bodies and environment.

⚠️ into the body with breathing

⚠️ drains into rivers and oceans

⚠️ accumulated in fish, eventually to the table,、、、

In addition,

🏥 headache, nausea, dermatitis

🏥 Chemical Sensitivity

It may also be the cause.

I thought "good scent = peace of mind."

But after knowing this fact,

We decided to stop and review our fragrant life.

Not only food but also daily necessities

Choose healthy for your body and environment 🌿

... Read more私も以前は柔軟剤の香りが好きで、よく使っていました。しかし、いつの間にか頭痛や肌のかゆみが続くようになり、原因を探っていたところ柔軟剤に含まれるマイクロカプセルが関係していることを知って驚きました。 マイクロカプセルは香りを長持ちさせるための小さなプラスチックの粒で、衣類に付着した後、こすれたり熱が加わることで弾けて香りを放ちます。しかしこの粒子は呼吸を通じて体内に入り込み、また排水によって川や海に流れ込み、魚を通じて私たちの食卓にも戻ってくることがわかりました。 私自身の生活では、柔軟剤の使用をやめたことで頭痛や肌トラブルは徐々に改善されました。香りづけのために化学物質を使うことが、思わぬ健康リスクや環境問題に繋がっているという事実は、多くの人にとってまだ知られていないのではないでしょうか。 また、香りのある生活が安心感をもたらす一方で、「香害」と呼ばれる体調不良や化学物質過敏症を招くこともあります。私の家族でも香りの強い柔軟剤や洗剤を使わなくなってから、みんなの健康状態が良くなりました。 今では無添加や自然由来の成分にこだわった洗剤や柔軟剤を選ぶようにしており、香りはあえて控えめにしています。日用品を通じて体や環境に優しい選択をすることは、家族の健康を守るうえでも大切だと実感しています。 皆さんも柔軟剤の香りに潜むリスクを知り、暮らしの中で見直すきっかけになれば幸いです。香りの持続を楽しむためだけに、健康や環境への配慮を後回しにしない工夫をぜひ検討してみてください。
