Many of the chemicals that migrate from plastic are endocrine disruptors. Here's a list of some of the conditions that can be onset or worsened by endocrine disruptors and how they've changed since the onset of widespread use of plastic packaging:
* PCOS: +28% age-standardized prevalence (global, 1990–2021)
* Autism: +381% identified prevalence (6.7 → 32.2 per 1,000, U.S. surveillance, 2000–2022)
* S***m concentration: −52% (not an increase; Western populations, 1973–2011)
* Total s***m count: −59% (Western populations, 1973–2011)
* Earlier female puberty: age at breast development decreased ~3 months per decade (1977–2013), rather than being expressed as a prevalence percentage.

How EDCs (endocrine disruptors) can influence prevalence of these conditions:

* Hormone disruption
* Thyroid disruption
* Sex-hormone signaling:
* Placental effects: Some EDCs can alter placental function, potentially changing the nutrients, hormones and signaling molecules reaching the fetus.
* Oxidative stress and inflammation
* Epigenetic changes: EDCs can potentially alter gene expression without changing the DNA sequence, theoretically affecting developmental pathways.
* Neuronal development

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can migrate from plastic packaging:

* Bisphenol A (BPA)
* Bisphenol S (BPS)
* Bisphenol F (BPF)
* DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate)
* DBP (dibutyl phthalate)
* BBP (benzyl butyl phthalate)
* DINP (diisononyl phthalate)
* DIDP (diisodecyl phthalate)
* DiBP (diisobutyl phthalate)
* DEHA / bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate
* Nonylphenol
* Octylphenols
* Certain PFAS — particularly from grease/water-resistant food-contact materials

so what do you think is worse? Ingredients or packaging?

Tell me not to do it. 🙈

Before now I was progressively trimming off the hair from when I went fully blonde 2 years ago, but now it's basically gone so I am going to just let it grow (I hope?).

I am taking Fight Hair Loss From Within 💪 daily to support faster growth and keep my hair from getting sparse in the length.

How often should I update?

Maybe you're wondering - why are some people having issues while using Innersense and not others?

To that I would say that chemicals migrating (leaching) from packaging is not something that would happen uniformly from one product to the next.

I choose not to roll the dice when it comes to plastics and so I choose and recommend glass or package-free options. If I have to use plastic, I avoid recycled plastic above all for the reasons described in this video.

I believe that even a formula that isn't clean but was made with the intention of being a personal care product doesn't contain chemicals as potentially harmful as those that can leach from plastic. That is why I think even a brand with a clean formula can accidentally cause more harm than a brand that doesn't even try to be clean if the brand with the clean formula isn't careful enough about their packaging choices.

I am saying maybe Innersense (and maybe DevaCurl back then too) got a bad batch of recycled plastic.

I love you.
