Have you heard about this?! Toxins in clothes and laundry soap. Microplastics. What are your favorite healthier clothing brands? 👇
Happy Earth is my favorite!
Attorney General Ken Paxton just launched an investigation into Lululemon for toxic “forever chemicals” in their activewear, and what testing revealed truly should alarm every woman who wears leggings!
These PFAS chemicals are heavily concentrated in the crotch region of activewear, which means they’re sitting directly against your most sensitive, absorbent skin for hours at a time. When you add heat from workouts and moisture from sweat, your body becomes a sponge for chemicals linked to hormone disruption, thyroid dysfunction, liver damage, and infertility.
The cruel irony is that while you’re trying to improve your health through exercise, your activewear might be poisoning the most vulnerable part of your body. These forever chemicals don’t wash out, don’t break down, and once they’re absorbed through your skin, they accumulate in your system indefinitely.
This goes FAR beyond Lululemon though, because nearly all conventional clothing contains wildly toxic chemicals when new, then we layer on more toxins with conventional detergents and fabric softeners. The result is that an estimated 99% of Americans wear cancer-causing chemicals daily without even realizing it 😭
