Have you ever thought twice about what you spray on your skin?
Have you ever considered the possible damages you are doing to yourself, your family or the water system when you use heavily fragranced laundry detergent?
Have you ever thought – what are those fragrances made of?
No matter what your answer is, you need to read this book to gain a greater understanding as to why we need to cut back on fragrances in our lives.
Kate Grenville couldn’t work out why every time she had a book launch migraines would come on until someone suggested to her – have you ever considered the smell in the air?
After doing has done extensive research on the Fragrance industry, Kate Grenville has brought us this easy to read and understand book.
As you will discover, the fragrance industry is regulated by the people who make them so with no rules on informing the consumer about the ingredients in each bottle (they are trade secrets!), we really don’t know what we are spraying on our skin, washing our clothes in or spraying in the air to freshen it up.
This book is easy to read, there is no over the top jargon or unnecessary statistics. It is told to us in words we need so that we can understand how the air we breathe affects our health.
After reading this book it really made me think – why does the market tell us our air needs to smell like roses or that we must smell of the latest perfume? Why do our clothes need to be washed in lemon scent and bathroom cleaners smell like oranges?
There are so many things we need to question and so many ways we can live healthier lives and have less impact on those around us.
What fragranced product can you ditch?
