Conventional laundry detergents often contain a slew of irritating ingredients, including dyes, thickeners, and toxic fragrances that can wreak havoc on skin—menopause or not.
Sodium lauryl sulfate, for example, is a commonly used harmful surfactant that can strip away the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation, particularly for women experiencing menopause.
Toxic fragrance is also a top skin irritant in big-name laundry detergents. And the harmful chemicals used to make that mountain fresh or lemon scent can stick around, even after the rinse cycle, exacerbating skin reactions.
Many toxic fragrances also include known endocrine disruptors like phthalates, which can throw off hormone balance and make menopause symptoms worse.
Your clothes are like a second skin. So what you wash them in matters. If you’ve noticed changes in your skin as estrogen declines, try Truly Free Home Laundry Wash.
Available in an unscented and essential oil-based scented option, our gentle laundry detergent is made with plant-powered ingredients, essential oils, and never any sulfates, phosphates, chlorine, or toxic fragrances, making it a natural choice for sensitive skin during menopause.
And instead of harsh sodium lauryl sulfate, our formula uses sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, an organic salt that’s ultra-gentle and removes dirt and grime without irritating.
For best results, detox your washing machine with Truly Free Home's Laundry Machine Cleaner first to remove trapped bacteria, mold, and harsh laundry detergent residue hiding in your washer.
Finding relief during this major hormonal shift might be as simple as changing your laundry routine.
