“What you eat affects your body” is common knowledge. But did you know that what you wear does too? From perfumes to earplugs, every item that touches your skin influences your health. That’s because our skin isn’t just a barrier — it’s a sponge, absorbing the chemicals it contacts.
Take foam earplugs, for example. They’re cheap, convenient, and widely used for sound sleep and noise reduction. But most conventional foam earplugs contain harmful substances like PFAs and PVC. These chemicals don’t just cause minor skin irritation; they can lead to more serious, invisible harm over time.
