Skin healthy clothing

Many of us are unknowingly dressing in fabrics that can harm our health, materials like polyester, nylon and chemically treated fabrics often coated in toxic substances including formaldehyde, bleach, flame retardants, phthalates and chemical dyes. For some reason this is especially true for workout gear, the very clothes that should be healthy to exercise in.

Many of the chemicals in clothing contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) that can affect our endocrine systems negatively impacting our wellbeing. It’s most important to consider the clothes that touch our skin directly, underwear, sleepwear and workout gear. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen are wonderful alternatives to synthetic materials, especially if organic, naturally sourced and untreated.
