The Risks and Impacts of Conventional Detergents on Skin Allergies and Asthma

Skin allergies and asthma affect millions of people around the world. It is estimated that skin conditions like eczema, hives and dermatitis, affect 10–30% of children and 2–10% of adults. Alarmingly, this is as much as a two- to three-fold increase in prevalence measured over the last several decades.

Avoiding triggers becomes vital for managing symptoms and maintaining daily wellbeing. Unfortunately, many everyday products like laundry detergents can provoke allergic reactions and asthma attacks when not carefully chosen.

The Struggle with Conventional Detergents

Navigating the world of skin allergies and asthma can be tricky, especially when everyday products, like laundry detergents, are packed with harsh chemicals and fragrances.

Common triggers of skin allergies:

Fragrances – Artificial fragrances added to give detergents a pleasant smell are among the top triggers of skin allergies. The synthetic compounds used in fragrances can cause irritation, rashes, hives and contact dermatitis in individuals with sensitive skin.

Dyes – Brightening agents and dyes used to make clothes appear whiter and more vibrant contain chemicals that sensitize skin. They are known to provoke allergic reactions manifesting as redness, swelling, itching and inflammation.

Harsh chemicals – Detergents use powerful cleaning agents like optical brighteners, enzymes, surfactants and alkaline builders that strip fabrics aggressively. However, these chemicals also strip the natural oils of skin, damage the moisture barrier and trigger immune reactions in those prone to allergies.

Overall, the chemical ingredients found in most conventional detergents make them a poor choice for people dealing with chronic skin allergies, eczema, asthma, and contact dermatitis. Using these products often aggravates their pre-existing conditions.

Your Laundry Detergent Should be Chosen as Diligently as Your Face Creams

Consider this fact: Our skin – the largest organ in our body – is enveloped by residual detergent left behind in our clothing. We are in constant contact with nasty toxins that lay on our skin all day long. Shouldn’t you go to as much trouble (if not more) choosing your laundry detergent as you do choosing your anti-aging creams.
