Why does CLEAN matter?
• Within 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals, such as those found in cleaning products, traces of these chemicals can be found in every organ in the body.
• 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological
disorders.
• The average American uses about 25 gallons of products with hazardous chemicals per year in their
home...a major portion of these can be found in household cleaning products.
• No health information is available for more than 80% of the industrial chemicals in everyday-use products.
• Today 300 synthetic chemicals are found in every one of our bodies.
• Research shows that even newborn babies have synthetic chemicals passed on from their mothers.
• Since 1901, cancer rates have increased from only 1 in 8,000 Americans, to 1 in 3 today!

in more than 73,000 products, that have been linked to cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.
Our Skin’s Role in Hormones!
• Nearly 100% of post-menopausal estrogen is produced in the skin!
• The skin functions as an endocrine organ, producing hormones for the body.
• Hormones produced by the skin include IGF-1, Thyroid hormones, Human Growth Hormone, & various neurotransmitters.
• The skin has its own feedback loop that regulates hormone function.
• Substances applied to the skin are processed through this hormone factory & feedback loop.
• Approximately 60-95% of what is applied to the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Cosmetics lack regulations & may contain hormones & endocrine disruptors.
“Although Congress has since then given the FDA the power to ensure that food additives, color additives and pesticides pose “no harm” from repeat exposures, Congress has not given the agency the same authority to regulate the chronic risks posed by chemicals and contaminants in
Instead, the FDA largely relies on the personal care products industry to regulate itself.”
cosmetics
Body Burden & How it Happens
• Dermal Absorption: Skin contact with chemicals, like those in personal care products, cosmetics, or cleaning agents.
• Inhalation: Breathing polluted air, which may contain toxins from industrial processes, vehicle emissions, or indoor air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Ingestion: Consuming contaminated food & water, such as pesticides found on fruits & vegetables or chemicals in drinking water.
• Occupational Exposure: Certain occupations expose workers to high levels of toxins, such as those in manufacturing, mining, agriculture, or healthcare.
• Environmental Exposure: Living in proximity to industrial areas, waste sites, or heavily polluted regions can lead to exposure.
• Bioaccumulation: Some toxins, like mercury & persistent organic pollutants (POPs) can accumulate in the food chain. When we consume contaminated seafood or animal products, these can accumulate in our bodies over time.
• Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, alcohol consumption, and the use of recreational drugs can introduce harmful substances into the body.
• Plastic & Microplastics: These may contain additives or pollutants that leach into food or water, contributing to body burden.
• Personal Care Products: Some personal care products contain chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin & contribute to body burden.
• Exposure in the Womb: Pregnant women can transfer toxins to their unborn children, leading to an early-life body burden.
In addition to the risks posed by intentionally added ingredients, cosmetics can be contaminated with
including arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel.

Under the current law, the FDA has little authority to review chemicals in cosmetics and other personal care products. Personal care products companies do NOT have to register with the FDA, provide the FDA with ingredient statements, adopt Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMPs, report adverse events to the FDA, or provide the FDA with access to
safety records.
