@lisalucier I had to retire very suddenly as I had severe coughing, chest tightening and weakness. I didn’t realize what a big role all the products played. At this point I’ve removed all scented products, candles detergents etc. which helped a lot. I’m also eliminating the products with preservatives etc and my skin is much better as well. I was using Tide unscented and switched to the unscented company and that helped as well. I’m sure there are other good detergents. For my hair I use unscented Philip Adam and for soap I found a very pure olive oil soap from Greece called Papoutsanis. I make cream out of organic shea butter blended with sweet almond, jojoba and rose oils. I clean my house with baking powder/vinegar/borax. If anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear them! I have no connections with any company

@drsharon, are you using the Mayo Clinic skinSafe app? It's free and a gamechanger. If you have chemical allergens identified through a patch test, your physician can enter them into the app to filter out suspect products for you. Truly a lifesaver! Household brands I use: Mrs Meyer's, Method, and Biokleen. Personal care brands: cerave, Cetaphil, vanicream. Best wishes. And check out that app!
