Caryn's Environmental Allergies Explained
She is not allergic to you, but the hazardous chemicals you might be wearing
Caryn has an allergy to hazardous chemicals and unfortunately most people wear some every day.
They hide out in the unregulated fragrance so this is one of the number one ingredients in any product to avoid.
Most all commercial bath and bodycare products and laundry products containing the ingredient “fragrance” or “scent” or “perfume” or “parfum” will have a good quantity of hazardous ingredients in it.
If you are wearing this ingredient when you visit or see Caryn – stand back 5 or more feet and let her know not to approach too closely!
Do an air hug rather than risk getting it on her.
Don’t ride in her car or sit on an uncovered surface in her home or the car.
Good stuff for Caryn
Products that Caryn knows are safe for her:
Pangea ~ all products ~ face creams, facial cleansers, scrubs, masks, body lotions
Avalon Organics ~ shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, body soaps, shave cream – all products
Earth Mama, Angel Baby ~ all products ~ shampoo/body wash vanilla orange and nonscents varieties, all balms and lotions (if you use this shampoo, it is castille-based and a diluted vinegar rinse will help detangle the hair and improve shine and bounce), the orange deodorant is great
Aubrey Organics ~ organic hair spray, facial creams, men’s stock City Rhythms lotion, aftershave, shave balm, body lotion, sunscreen
She is unsure about the deodorant
California Baby ~ all products including shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, sunscreen, bug repellent
Seventh Generation ~ laundry soap especially free and clear, dryer sheets and liquid fabric softener, dish soap, auto dish soap, hand soap
Arm and Hammer Free and Clear laundry detergent ~ they are making a Sensitive scented product that is not likely to be nontoxic
Biokleen laundry soap
Charlie Soap laundry soap
Sonnet, Seventh Generation, Sun and Earth, Pure Home Dish Soap
Badger ~ all products (except bug balm on her skin, but fine for in the air/near her) including sunscreens (the damascus rose face sunscreen is delightful), balms, face oils, shave balms, oils and soaps
Any toothpaste
Essential Oils that are steam distilled and free of chemical additives like Young Living. DoTerra, Aura Cacia, Neal’s Yard, Now seem to be fine.
Rainbow Henna
Nourish Unscented line ~ Unscented body lotion, Unscented deodorant
Schmidt ~ Unscented Deodorant, Tea Tree Deodorant (some of the other options seem to be a bit intense and she wonders if they are totally pure, but they don’t have a strong negative impact)
Terrible stuff for Caryn
DEET and pesticides including Avon Skin So Soft
Axe and other commercial deodorants
Tide, Bounce and commercial laundry products with fragrance in silicone beads
Perfume, aftershave, cologne, scented oils, perfume oils
Botanically-inspired rather than botanically-derived (don’t get fooled)
