What Are Xenoestrogens?
Many people have never heard of xenoestrogens before so we've broken it down for you. 'Xeno' means foreign, and 'Estrogen' simply describes a female hormone. When put together in one word, xenoestrogens are man-made chemicals that act like estrogen and impact your body's hormonal balance in a detrimental way. In other words, they are foreign chemicals, found in everyday products, that disrupt your body's estrogen balance.
Many of chemicals today also interfere with testosterone production. These antiandrogens cause imbalances in both male and female hormones. Hormone disrupting chemicals have various names such as environmental estrogens, hormone disruptors, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), endocrine disruptors, xenobiotics, xenohormones, obesogens etc.
Xenoestrogens are chemicals such as:
-
Parabens
-
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and its derivatives
-
Phthalates
-
Propylene Glycol
-
Triclosan
-
Fragrance
-
BPA
-
BPS
-
And many, many more...
What's the Issue?
The problem with estrogen mimicking chemicals or antiandrogens is that they are commonly used in personal body care and beauty products as well as household cleaners. When you're exposed to hormone disruptors through daily routines, these chemicals fool your body into believing xenoestrogens are your own estrogens or block testosterone production which then causes a variety of hormonal issues.
These may include:
The purpose of these chemical hormone disruptors in personal care products is to create lather, keep the body clean and fresh smelling, as well as make scents last longer. They are found in many natural skin care brands including baby products In household cleaners they provide exceptional lather, antimicrobial cleaning power and long lasting aromas.
