Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your hormones — mimicking, blocking, or scrambling the signals your body relies on. They show up in plastics, packaging, and, surprisingly often, in the clothes we wear every day.
How clothing exposes you
Skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs. Add warmth, sweat, and friction from a workout, and fabric finishes can migrate onto and into the body. Common offenders include plasticizers like phthalates, BPA used in some synthetic coatings, and stain- and water-repellent treatments.
What to look for
Choose certified organic natural fibers, avoid 'performance' finishes you do not need, and skip wrinkle-free and antimicrobial treatments. At BODA, every piece is held to the Non-Toxic 7 — a standard that keeps these chemicals out from the first stitch.
