This is a really hot topic as of late. Many people have been unaware of the toxins that are used in personal care items, even those that are labeled as being organic or natural. Read the labels and you will find chemicals such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), cocamide DEA, and sodium lauryl sulfate, which make cancer causing agents when they are used together. Read labels carefully and use truly natural products, or make your own personal care products at home.
There are dozens of recipes online that will tell you exactly how to do this with ingredients that are readily available.

I was unaware of any of these potentially cancer causing products! This is deeply concerning. I am going to rid my house of these items.

There are a lot more then air fresheners and scented products. Non organic foods contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms) that can and will cause cancer. Fragrance is in shampoos, skin care products, soaps and candles. Fragrance (FOs) are synthetically made chemicals scent compounds. Even if they are are labeled “ natural ” they often have fragrance in them. The only way to know for sure is to look in the in ingredients for Fragrance. Also be be careful about laundry detergent. Look out for dioxane, Nonylphenol ethoxlate, color, stabilizers and alcohol ethoxlate. all of these things are known to cause cancer and may cause cancer.
