11 Ways Women Can Reduce Environmental Pollutants at Home

It’s no secret that there are key biological differences between the female body and the male body. But did you know that may include how your body processes environmental pollutants? From personal care products to household products, this hefty chemical load we all carry could pose health risks. And women may be at higher risk than men.

Women are exposed to an average of 168 chemicals a day from personal care products. From shampoo to cosmetics, moisturizers and even feminine hygiene products, the things that touch your body may contain undesirable chemicals. Worse, these chemicals could end up IN your body. Many of these pollutants bind to and are stored in the body’s fat cells. Becuase women have more fat cells then men, this may pose increased risks to hormonal health. 

Environmental pollutants come from other sources too, like food and water, household products and fragrance. Switching to organic foods and clean label personal care and household items can significantly reduce exposure to controversial chemicals.

To help reduce your exposure to environmental pollutants, Modere Household and Personal Care categories offer clean label alternatives to the products you use daily. They’re formulated without 1000s of controversial ingredients. They’re non-GMO. And we offer several biodegradable and graywater-safe formulas. Keep reading to discover our top 11 picks for home, body, face and oral hygiene, and more.
