#Fragrance/Chemical Allergies

[detectivewigglesaiart]

I am literally homeless EXCLUSIVELY because ableds and disabled people without allergies cant be bothered to apply their toxic fragrance in their bedroom instead of the shared bathroom and make other equally minor changes, and disabled people whose disabilities aren't worsened by the selfishness of others and dont even prevent them from being around others are STILL out here like "uwu dont worry, ableism is NEVER your fault, it's totally fine to murder people with MCAS to spare yourself minor inconvenience"

the disability "community" is a myth. Only those with the privilege to safely interact with others get ANY help, sympathy, or even basic visibility. MCAS is a huge component of long covid so it now affects millions more (it affected 15% of the population before covid, 5x as common as autism, for example) but because no one else in the disability community can even acknowledge our existence, we'll never have any accessibility whatsoever.

Most people with MCAS have no idea they have it because of all the constant forcible erasure from other people. That means they'll never know they could be 100% fine if the people around them weren't incapable of empathy

Synthetic scents are so bad that they’re even being called the new second-hand smoke. 95% of chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum (fossil fuel). These include things like benzene derivatives (carcinogenic), aldehydes, toluene, and many other toxic chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions. -> 5 Serious Health Dangers of Synthetic Scents

deodorant

how often do you use this product you know so little about? let me educate you.

deodorant is a personal hygiene product designed to reduce or mask body odour caused by sweating and bacterial overgrowth. it makes the skin more acidic and less attractive to bacteria that cause odour. deodorants often contain antimicrobial agents to kill odour-causing bacteria and fragrances to mask any residual odour.

there are also antiperspirants, which are a subclass of deodorants. antiperspirants prevent sweating by blocking sweat glands, reducing the amount of perspiration that reaches the skin.

picking the right deodorant for your skin type

sensitive skin: look for deodorants labelled as hypoallergenic or formulated for sensitive skin. these usually contain fewer irritants and are free from alcohol and fragrances.

dry skin: opt for deodorants with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or glycerin to prevent further dryness.

'regular' skin: you have more flexibility and can choose from a wide range of deodorants, including those with added fragrances.

consider natural options

if you prefer to avoid synthetic chemicals, look for natural deodorants that use ingredients like baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils.

allergies

before committing to any new products, do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any allergic reactions.

reviews

reading reviews can give you insights into how well a product works for others with similar skin types. some brands also offer sample sizes, so you can try them out before buying a full-sized product.

end notes

reply with which deodorant you prefer and why. these kinds of topics are often avoided, but it is important to have a general understanding.

i hope you found this interesting! ❤️ nene

AITA for asking my mom to stop using scented bath salts?

For background, I am 35 and live with my mom and stepdad in an apartment. We split rent and utilities equitably. I am disabled and spend most of my time in my room. I have the bedroom that has its own bathroom and the rest of the apartment is functionally theirs. I have the use of the kitchen and can go hang out in the living room etc. but they control the space and it contains their belongings almost exclusively. In other words, my room is the only place that's really "mine." My mom has always enjoyed heavy fragrance products (perfumes, plug-ins, etc.) and knows I hate them. I do NOT have an allergy or any medical issue pertaining to them, I just find the smells very unpleasant and in strong enough concentrations a bit nauseating. I mostly accept her doing scent stuff in the main apartment as it doesn't affect my room, but lately she has been taking baths with a scented bath salt (in their bathroom, not mine) that has an intense, overpowering "clean" scent. I have compared it to Lysol, not sure what it's actually supposed to smell like. For reasons I cannot identify, it invades and permeates my room (even with door closed) like no other smell, at an intensity that wakes me up if I'm sleeping, makes it hard to even think straight, hurts my sinuses, and stays like that for hours. I can mitigate this somewhat by opening my window and running the fan but of course it's the middle of winter and 20 degrees outside. So I asked her to stop using this product, and suggested the same brand's fragrance-free variety. After a bit of back-and-forth she agreed to stop but said "I hope you appreciate the sacrifice I'm making, because I really like the way that bath salt makes me smell. So I'm basically giving up my happiness for yours." I said "There are lots of other ways you could make yourself smell nice, right? Maybe a body wash or lotion?" (Note: she has, for my entire life, loved and used lotions, body washes and similar products freely.) She said "No, I don't want to use those. I wanted to use the scented bath salts. But I'll stop so you can have things your way." I keep thinking about her framing this as an equation by which either I could get what I want (room not reek of chemical fragrance) or she could get what she wants (smell how she wants) and she gave up hers so I could get mine. I let the argument go because she'd agreed to what I wanted, but now I'm back and forth between thinking I'm being selfish and thinking she's being melodramatic and manipulative. It seemed more to me like asking a neighbor to turn down their very loud music (are they sacrificing their enjoyment for yours if they comply? or were they just doing something annoying and stopped when asked? is there a difference?) but maybe that's a false equivalence. AITA for getting my mom to stop using the bath salts to get her desired smell because it makes my room miserable?

What are these acronyms?

Story at-a-glance

Mamavation tested 65 diapers from 40 brands for PFAS "forever chemicals". 23% of products tested showed indications of PFAS, with organic fluorine levels ranging from 10 to 323 parts per million

Both disposable and reusable cloth diapers were found to contain PFAS. 17% of disposable diapers and 30% of reusable cloth diapers/accessories tested positive for organic fluorine above 10 ppm

PFAS chemicals are linked to numerous health issues, including reduced immunity, allergies, developmental problems, and increased cancer risk. Pregnant women and babies are particularly vulnerable to these effects

The study found issues with OEKO-TEX certification, as some certified products still contained PFAS. The certification's testing methods may not detect all forms of PFAS, including PTFE (Teflon)

Mamavation recommends looking for diapers that use total chlorine-free (TCF) processing, avoid fragrances and lotions, and for cloth diapers, use natural materials like organic cotton or hemp instead of synthetic waterproofing

Contact Dermatitis/Allergy Help?

After two years of red patches and swelling and flaking around my eyes I finally got approved for patch testing. (And yes, stopping my rare eye makeup use was the first thing I tried.) I found out I react badly to 3 chemicals which are apparently pretty common in health and beauty stuff as well as cleaning products.

Methyldibromo Glutaronitrile (MDBGN), Benzoic Acid, and Balsam of Peru, if that means anything to anyone?

I'm having trouble finding shampoo and conditioner that doesn't have any of them, especially since I guess one doesn't have to be listed and can just be included under fragrance?

Any suggestions for brands or places to look? I tried vanicream and it didn't actually clean my hair at all so couldn't use it regularly.

[battlestarbones]

I'm trying to get around my contact allergy to something in men's antiperspirant/deodorant (I suspect a common Manly fragrance chemical given that I can use a women's scented one) by using unscented antiperspirant and then layering Native-brand deodorant-only on top of it. I figure the crossover in fragrance chemicals used between the normal brands and the "natural" brand will be low enough I might get away with it!

Tips from a recovering nail biter

My lil tip for nail biters who wanna quit - scented cuticle oil. Well, cuticle oil in general, but scented cuticle oil is even better.

If you can't deal with any added fragrance, try oil blends with stronger natural scents like rosehip or essential oils (whichever ones you can tolerate, I know not all are sensitive skin/nose friendly). The idea is to pick a scent that's pleasant but not associated with food. Those fruity and bakery scents are nice but may encourage you to nibble if you already have trouble keeping your hands out of your mouth. The idea is to condition yourself to associate that particular scent with "hands away from mouth". I like typical perfume scents, so I went with jasmine and rose.

I make my own cuticle oil. It's easy, cheap and there are dozens of recipes online. Most of them are jojoba-based, but feel free to add other oils or ingredients for added benefits. If you wanna keep it simple, jojoba oil straight from the bottle will work wonders all by itself.

Try to keep some kind of cuticle balm or oil on your person at all times. Treat it like chapstick for your nails. Rub a little on your nails every time you remember, you really can't do it too much. Keep your hands clean, but don't excessively expose them to water or harsh chemicals. Use gloves when cleaning (extremely important, borderline non-negotiable), and groom your cuticles daily.

Nail hardening polishes aren't bad but they're not the best. They can help protect your nails in a pinch, but they tend to overcorrect, making your nails more prone to breaks. If you can, I recommend getting a few mani supplies instead, like polish and orange sticks/a cuticle pusher. You'll want a barrier over your nails at pretty much all times. I'm biased toward gel, so I recommend a base coat, a topcoat, and a rubber builder gel. Normal polish is perfectly fine if you don't wanna fuss with UV or have an allergy. Just get a top, a base, and whatever color you want to wear whether it's nude or something fun. I don't care if you're masc or a man. You don't need a color on your nails if you don't want it but you will need something. Top coats come in matte if you don't like shine. If you're going with gel you have to use a rubberized base coat. Most biters have thin, flat nail beds that need support as they grow out. Rubber base gels provide protection and flexibility.

Rubber base coat + (whatever color you want) + top coat = profit.

Soak the polish off and replace it when it grows out (every week or two for me, but it depends on how fast your nails grow), but make sure to give your fingers a day or overnight to breathe between sets (if you wear anything heavier than a few coats of polish). Darker colors like deep reds or black can stain pretty fast, even with a base coat. Don't be alarmed if you remove your polish to see that they're brownish. You're fine. You haven't given yourself some horrible nail disease.

If you're starting off with broken skin, protect it. Wear a bandage over your boo-boos until they've healed up. Get a pair of nippers and get into the habit of using them to clip off hang nails or peeling skin. Don't let me catch you biting them off with your teeth. No, it's not fine just because it isn't your actual nail.

Controversial, but I don't recommend running to the nail salon in your first month of recovery. Fake nails are amazing for protecting your real ones as they grow out, but if you've just decided to stop biting, I'd wait a while before getting a set. 2-4 weeks at least. You'll want to begin the process of breaking your muscle memory before spending upwards of 50 bucks on a set that you'll just be tempted to eat off. Fake nails are not a replacement chew toy, they're a shield. I also recommend that you keep them as short as you can, just barely longer than your natural nail if not the same length. It may be tempting to go for those sexy stilettos or 2-inch coffins but trust me, life is different with longer nails. You have to work your way up to that length. Even a few millimeters can make a huge difference in how you function and you don't want to risk damaging your natural nails.

I also use Hard as Hoof cream before bed and after every shower and hand wash - that's really important. You'll always want to oil up your fingies. It's about 8 dollars USD and I thiiiink you can get it at drug stores. I get mine on Amazon. It really is a wonder product for your nails and really nice on my dry ass knuckles too.

I've been a nail-biter for over 25 years and this is the farthest I've ever gone without a relapse. Seeing my bell-shaped nails slowly return to a normal shape has been so reassuring. I always believed I'd gnawed myself into ugly nails forever, but nature is finally healing.

No matter how bad your nails look, recovery is possible! Be friendly to yourself. If you've been biting for years, you won't recover in 2 weeks. It's a process, and I believe in you.

HOW TO HELP YOUR DOG DEAL WITH SEASONAL ALLERGIES

For some people, seasonal allergies are a real pain. Whether you’re bothered by a runny nose, itchy eyes, or endless sneezing, it can be a tough time of year to endure.

Just like their human parents, some dogs suffer from the aggravating effects of seasonal allergies as well. Besides chemicals such as those found in household cleaning products, cigarette smoke and certain perfumes, dogs can also be allergic to natural, seasonal substances. This can include plant and tree pollens, mold spores, dust, feathers and fleas.

A dog’s allergy symptoms are generally similar to those experienced by humans: the immune system overreacts to one or more offending substances, leading to itchiness and irritation. Your dog may lick or scratch themselves, develop irritated eyes, or sneeze repeatedly. Some dogs experience itchy, swollen skin, while others suffer from diarrhea and vomiting. In certain cases, a secondary infection may develop.

Here are a few things you should do to help control any discomfort your dog may be dealing with due to seasonal allergies and reduce the risk of more serious problems.

ADAPT YOUR DAILY WALK ROUTINE

If possible, avoid walking your dog in the early morning or late afternoon, when pollen levels are typically highest. Steer clear of fields and parks where offending plants are common.

When you return home, wipe your dog’s body and paws with a moist cloth or a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free grooming wipe from your local pet store. This will remove excess pollen and other allergens from your dog’s fur and skin without the hassle of a full bath. Pay special attention to the paws, as the sensitive skin here is often affected by allergens.

Some pet parents soak their dog’s paws in apple cider vinegar to remove pollen and other substances. If using this method, mix 2 parts water with 1 part apple cider vinegar.  Another solution is to put boots on your dog’s paws to prevent them from stepping in irritants and then tracking them into your house.

CLEAR THE AIR… AND OTHER SURFACES

Inside your home, regularly change air filters to cut down on airborne allergens that enter through open doors and windows. Running an air conditioner or a dehumidifier will help remove moisture from interior air, making it harder for mold to grow in your home. Minimize the amount of time your dog spends in damp environments, such as basements, bathrooms, or laundry rooms, as these places are more susceptible to mold growth. Vacuum at least once a week, and remember to clean curtains and rugs that may have picked up dust and pollen.

Protect your dog from backyard dangers. Many popular veggies like onions, garlic, tomatoes, and chives are poisonous to dogs and should be fenced off to prevent your furry friend from getting into them.

DON’T SLEEP ON IT

It's important to keep the surfaces your dog sleeps on clean, as they can quickly become covered in allergens. To achieve this, wash them in hot water every week. To make the task easier, consider putting towels or blankets on top of beds and chairs, and make sure to keep any offending substances away from the surface underneath. Also, don't forget to wash any soft toys your dog plays with regularly.

JUMP IN THE BATH

To prevent dry and itchy skin in dogs, it is recommended to bathe them more often with the advice of a veterinarian. While washing their fur, use a gentle, hypoallergenic anti-itch shampoo that contains a soothing ingredient like oatmeal, aloe, or evening primrose oil. Some dog owners prefer to give their pets a 10-minute soak in a bath mixed with a gentle moisturizing oil.

SUPPLEMENT YOUR DOG’S DIET

Consider giving your furry friend a natural dietary supplement like fish oil or a fatty acid such as omega-3 or omega-6 oil to alleviate itchiness and promote healthy skin. Coconut oil has also been shown to be effective in suppressing allergic reactions and improving skin health. To ensure your dog's overall well-being, it is essential to keep their drinking water and bowl clean and free of any contaminants.

FURTHER TREATMENTS

If your dog is constantly licking, scratching, or chewing, and has red, irritated skin or hair loss, it's best to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Depending on the severity of the problem, a professional can provide more aggressive treatments such as antihistamines, steroids, or allergy shots, which are also known as immunotherapy.

To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and numbuz:n in exchange for my honest review.

This product contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and is fragrance-free.

This sunscreen has a very lightweight, hydrating lotion texture and is tinted green.

It blends out very easily and feels like nothing.

It leaves skin very smooth and not tacky or sticky as it dries down, which it does very quickly.

There is no flashback, it's very invisible and you can't detect any white residue on the skin.

It also wears very well and layers well, I was out in the sun for most of the day and did reapply every few hours or so.

It also wears very well under makeup, no pilling up or shifting of the makeup.

Recommended use is to take an appropriate amount and apply it evenly onto the skin. It's designed for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic, oxybenzone-free, octinoxate-free and fragrance-free. After using, this sunscreen is really impressive. The packaging is great in that the applicator is very controlled and keeps it from distributing too much product. The sunscreen itself is very gentle, soothing, hydrating and lightweight. It doesn't pill or bunch up or leave any kind of white cast. It's a great moisturizer on its own but it layers over other skincare very well. The ingredients are very sensitive skin friendly and there are no irritants, or fragrances (artificial or otherwise) and it has strong and effective UV filters. It's also very safe around the eyelids and eyes, I didn't notice any irritation in that area or any kind of tingling. The protection is long-lasting and it keeps your skin even toned, even after being out in the sun for a while. Some aspects are water resistant but this product is not marketed as such so this wouldn't be safe against sweat either. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially to people who need a gentle formula.

What I like: this sunscreen is so hydrating and plays well with other products. It doesn't pill or bunch up or leave a white cast and there's no fragrance. It's got great ingredients minus any irritants and it's very hydrating and makes a great moisturizer on its own. It's also safe around the eyes and doesn't cause any irritation. What I don't like: honestly, nothing, it's a great product.

Pros:

Hydrating

Gentle

Soothing

Fragrance-free

Sensitive skin friendly

No white cast

Wears well under makeup

No irritants

Moisturizing

Cons:

None

Would I buy this?

Yes

Harmful Social Media Skincare Trends: Viral Doesn't Mean Safe

By Olivia Dawson

Social media platforms have undeniably become powerful tools for disseminating information and influencing trends, including in the realm of skincare. However, with the rise of platforms like TikTok, the proliferation of skincare advice from self-proclaimed experts and dermatology doctors has also become increasingly prevalent. Unfortunately, not all information circulating on social media is accurate or safe, and many harmful skincare trends have gained traction, often promoting practices and products that contain toxic chemicals. In this article, we will investigate the potential dangers of following these trends blindly and highlight the importance of seeking reliable skincare information from trusted sources.

The Influence of TikTok's Dermatology Doctors and Wannabe Experts:

TikTok has emerged as a breeding ground for skincare trends, thanks in part to the influence of self-proclaimed dermatology doctors and aspiring skincare experts. While some of these individuals may have legitimate qualifications, the vast majority lack the necessary expertise and medical training to provide accurate advice. They often rely on sensationalized content, quick fixes, and trendy products to attract viewership. It is essential to recognize that not everything that goes viral on social media is safe or effective when it comes to skincare.

Toxic Chemicals in Skincare Products:

One of the alarming aspects of social media skincare trends is the promotion of products containing toxic chemicals. The desire for quick results and flawless skin often leads individuals to experiment with potentially harmful ingredients without considering the long-term consequences. Substances such as hydroquinone, mercury, and certain synthetic fragrances have been linked to various adverse effects, ranging from skin irritation and allergies to more severe health issues, including hormonal disruption and organ toxicity. Despite these risks, social media influencers often endorse and popularize such products, further perpetuating harmful trends.

Harmful Skincare Practices:

Beyond the dangerous products themselves, social media platforms can also be responsible for promoting harmful skincare practices. For instance, the trend of DIY skincare recipes using household ingredients, while seemingly cost-effective and convenient, can lead to detrimental outcomes. Lemon juice, baking soda, and toothpaste are commonly suggested ingredients in these recipes, but they can cause skin irritation, inflammation, and even chemical burns. Moreover, excessive exfoliation, encouraged by some influencers, can disrupt the skin's natural barrier function, leading to increased sensitivity, dryness, and a compromised skin barrier.

The Importance of Seeking Reliable Sources:

In the age of social media, it is crucial to approach skincare trends and advice with a critical mindset. Instead of relying solely on influencers and TikTok dermatology doctors, it is essential to consult reliable sources such as board-certified dermatologists, skincare professionals, and reputable scientific studies. These experts possess the necessary knowledge and training to provide evidence-based recommendations that prioritize your skin's health and safety. Moreover, they can evaluate your unique skin type, concerns, and medical history to offer personalized guidance.

Promoting Responsible Skincare:

To safeguard yourself from the harmful effects of social media skincare trends, it is important to adopt a responsible approach to skincare. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Verify credentials: Before following skincare advice from an influencer or self-proclaimed expert, research their qualifications and credibility. Board-certified dermatologists and trusted skincare professionals should be your primary sources of information.

Read labels: Always scrutinize the ingredient lists of skincare products you consider using. Familiarize yourself with potential toxic chemicals and opt for products with safe and proven ingredients.

Listen to your skin: Pay attention to how your skin reacts to new products or practices. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.

Prioritize evidence-based information: Seek out reputable sources, such as scientific studies, professional skincare journals, and trusted skincare authorities, for accurate and reliable information. These sources undergo rigorous scientific scrutiny and provide evidence-based recommendations.

Consult a dermatologist: If you have specific skin concerns or conditions, it is best to consult a qualified dermatologist. They can assess your skin's needs, recommend appropriate treatments, and guide you towards safe and effective skincare practices.

Embrace a holistic approach: Remember that skincare is not solely about the products you use. It also encompasses lifestyle factors such as a healthy diet, hydration, stress management, and adequate sleep. Taking care of your overall well-being will contribute to healthy skin.

Educate yourself: Take the initiative to educate yourself about skincare ingredients, common skin concerns, and the science behind effective skincare practices. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions and protect yourself from potential harm.

While social media platforms can be valuable sources of inspiration and connection, it is crucial to approach skincare trends with caution. Viral skincare practices and products promoted by self-proclaimed experts and dermatology doctors on platforms like TikTok may not be safe or reliable. Many of these trends involve the use of products containing toxic chemicals or encourage harmful practices that can damage the skin. To prioritize your skin's health and safety, it is vital to seek information from trusted sources, such as board-certified dermatologists and reputable scientific studies. By adopting a responsible approach to skincare, you can protect yourself from the risks associated with harmful social media skincare trends and maintain a healthy, radiant complexion.

This organic baby wash is crafted with natural ingredients that gently cleanse, hydrate, and protect your little one’s delicate skin, making it the best body wash for infants.

Why Your Baby’s Skin Needs Special Attention

A baby’s skin is thinner and more fragile than an adult’s, which makes it prone to irritation, dryness, and sensitivity. Regular skincare products, especially those containing harsh chemicals, can lead to rashes, allergies, and discomfort. This is why it’s essential to use a body wash specifically designed for infants—one that is mild, gentle, and free from harmful ingredients. Choosing the right product helps maintain the health and softness of your baby’s skin.

Nisargah Baby Body Wash: A Gentle Formula for Sensitive Skin

Chamomile Extract: This natural anti-inflammatory ingredient calms and protects the skin from redness, irritation, and rashes.

These ingredients work together to cleanse your baby’s skin without stripping away its natural oils, leaving it feeling fresh and nourished after each bath.

Free From Harmful Chemicals: A Safe Choice for Your Baby

One of the standout features of Nisargah Baby Body Wash is its clean, chemical-free formula. It contains no parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, or dyes, which are often present in conventional baby washes. These chemicals can cause dryness, irritation, and disrupt the natural balance of a baby’s skin. Nisargah’s organic approach ensures a gentle, toxin-free bath experience for your little one.

Moisturizing Cleanse Without Stripping Natural Oils

Infant skin can easily lose moisture, which is why maintaining its natural oil balance is essential. Nisargah Baby Body Wash provides a gentle cleanse while preserving your baby’s skin’s natural oils. Unlike many conventional baby products, which can leave the skin dry, Nisargah’s formula ensures your baby’s skin stays soft, smooth, and hydrated after every wash.
