Q: Why do my new clothes smell?
A: It very well could be a sign of toxins like lead, PFAS, formaldehyde, Azo dyes, Brominated flame retardants, Lead, Pesticides and Phthalates.

Q: Are lead, PFAS, formaldehyde, Azo dyes, Brominated flame retardants, Lead, Pesticides and Phthalates gone if I wash them before wearing?
A: A few of these will wash out. But most of them are part of the fabric & treatment. An example is to consider the dyes used in fabric… they don’t wash away. And many other toxins are part of the fabric permanently.

Q: Do all clothes have these toxins?
A: The better the quality of the clothing, the less toxic they will be. “Fast Fashion” clothes are much more toxic. So the lower the price, the higher chance the clothes are toxic. Fast Fashion brands examples are Shein, AliExpress, Temu, & Amazon.

Q: What are the risks of me wearing toxic clothes anyway?
A: Here’s the short list of health problems connected with these textile toxins-asthma, nausea, cancer, dermatitis, cancer infertility & hormone imbalances. Research suggests that exposure to lead (in clothing too) acts as a neurotoxicant impacting growth, development, and behavior patterns. Let’s go further, these toxins can affect the DNA of our offspring, now called Transgenerational Toxicity.Toxic chemicals can have effects that span up to three generations. UGH! So that means toxic clothing I wear could affect my Great Grandchildren!

Q: What Can I Do To Find Less Toxic Clothing?
A: It’s time to rethink shopping habits & new clothes…
Check the product's ingredient label. If your garment is labeled "undyed" or "natural", it means they do not contain AZO dyes
Look for products with GOTS, and OEKO-TEX certificates..
Choose a reputable brand.
Wash clothes before wearing
Use non-toxic laundry detergents
Change our purchase habits & recycle our current clothes.
