According to the US National Academy of Sciences, 95 percent of the ingredients used to create fragrances are derived from known toxins, such as aldehydes, benzene, and petroleum.Hardly a week goes by at ION LIFE without someone calling us about extreme chemical sensitivity. I wonder... have we advanced to the sort of consciousness about the effect of perfumes on those around us - to the same degree as we have with cigarette smoke?
It's quite amazing. When we walk around Cape Byron in the early morning, we often pass female walkers, sometimes with their morning splash of expensive fragrance. We can smell it a good thirty metres away! The power of chemicals!
