Products Free of Phthalates

Why Avoid Phthalates?

Phthalates are plasticizers added to PVC plastics to make them flexible, found in food packaging, vinyl flooring, personal care products, and synthetic fragrances. They are among the most ubiquitous endocrine disruptors in the modern environment. Research links phthalate exposure to reduced testosterone, impaired sperm quality, early puberty in girls, pregnancy complications, and developmental delays in children. Because phthalates are not chemically bound to plastics, they migrate continuously into food, air, and skin contact.
