// a healthier alternative for germ-free travel //
When Clay and I sit down on an airplane, the first thing we do is pull out our Thieves wipes. We wipe down the trays, the armrests, our seat belts, and even the screen. I love having this tool to protect our health while we travel.
Why Thieves? Why not Wet Ones or Clorox wipes? Why not anti-bacterial?
I’m so glad you asked {wink}.
Here’s why:
- Wet Ones contain both fragrance and parabens. Fragrance is a word for hidden phthalates which are endocrine disrupters. They are probable reproductive or developmental toxins and have been linked to cancer, organ damage, and immune suppression.
- Clorox wipes–I can’t even find a list of the ingredients of these online. Looks to me like they aren’t proud of what’s inside. My guess? More of the same harmful chemicals hidden behind a false facade of health benefits. For shame.
- And regarding anti-bacterial–First of all, anti-bacterial soap has not even been proven to be more effective than regular soap and water! Plus, over time, anti-bacterial products can actually be harmful to your immune system.
All Young Living products–including but not limited to Thieves wipes–are made with:
- 100% therapeutic-grade essential oils
- no additives, no preservatives, and no chemicals.
So you can feel good about truly bolstering the health of yourself and your loved ones.
