Friends don’t let friends use toxic products!
This Galentine’s Day, show your besties how much you care with a handmade, non-toxic linen and room spray. Unlike synthetic air fresheners filled with hidden chemicals, this DIY version is plant-based, safe, and smells amazing—without harming your health, pets, or little ones!
The Hidden Dangers of Synthetic Fragrances
Most commercial air fresheners, candles, and sprays contain synthetic fragrance—a fancy way of saying a mix of undisclosed chemicals. These can include:
- Phthalates – Linked to hormone disruption and reproductive issues.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation.
- Formaldehyde – A known carcinogen found in many air fresheners.
Why risk it when you can make your own non-toxic, natural spray in minutes?
