At The Well Collection, we believe that what you bring into your home and put on your body should be as pure as nature intended. That’s why we make this promise: Our products will never contain phthalates—ever.
But what exactly are phthalates, and why should you avoid them? These sneaky chemicals are everywhere, hiding in plastics, beauty products, cleaning supplies, and even food packaging. Yet, despite their widespread use, research has linked them to serious health risks for both humans and pets.
What Are Phthalates?
Phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates) are a group of synthetic chemicals used to make plastics flexible and to help fragrances and lotions stick to your skin. Because they don’t bond tightly to the materials they’re added to, they easily leach out into the air, water, and even food—making exposure nearly unavoidable in modern life.
Where Are Phthalates Hiding?
These harmful chemicals are commonly found in:✔ Personal care products – perfumes, lotions, shampoos, and deodorants✔ Household cleaners – laundry detergents, air fresheners, and all-purpose sprays✔ Plastic products – food containers, shower curtains, vinyl flooring, and children’s toys✔ Food packaging – plastic wraps, takeout containers, and even some food-processing equipment
Why Are Phthalates Dangerous?
Extensive research has shown that phthalates can wreak havoc on the body, leading to:
🚨 Hormone Disruption – Linked to fertility issues, developmental delays, and early puberty
🚨 Pregnancy & Infant Risks – Associated with low birth weight, birth defects, and preterm labor
🚨 Cancer Concerns – Some phthalates are classified as potential carcinogens
🚨 Neurological Effects – Linked to ADHD, behavioral problems, and cognitive impairments in children
🚨 Respiratory Issues – Can worsen asthma and allergies, especially in young children
And it’s not just humans at risk—pets are also vulnerable to the harmful effects of phthalates, which can cause hormone imbalances, organ damage, and increased cancer risk.
