Using washing powder is convenient, familiar, but not all powders are the same. Some can cause allergies, reduce immunity. It is better to choose washing powders from natural plant components.
An indispensable assistant that is required every day is washing powder for everyone. Its active components do an excellent job of washing, however, spraying in the air, remaining on the tissues and penetrating the skin, they harm health. In the West, they have long studied this problem and began to use environmentally friendly powders that have a safe composition. Some of these powders can be bought from us.
The most common type of allergy to household chemicals is a reaction to washing powder.
Harmful to ordinary powders
Our country has launched the production of washing powders under the brand name of world brands (Henkel, P&G) containing anionic surfactants (a-surfactants) and phosphates in high concentrations. A-surfactant is the main active component of the powder, which, when in contact with the skin, is absorbed through it into the blood, distributed throughout the tissues, accumulates in them, changes the composition of the blood and reduces immunity. For safety, the powder of anionic surfactants should be no more than 3-5%. But most a-surfactant powders sold contain 5-15%. Phosphates enhance the dangerous effects of a-surfactants on the human body and pollute the environment. Optical brighteners are harmful. They remain on the laundry after rinsing and create the illusion of clean laundry. Contact with skin may cause irritation.
Rinsing should be carried out in hot water, because surfactants and phosphates at a temperature below 50 ° C are practically not removed.
