While it is impossible to avoid phthalates completely, we can drastically decrease our exposure by avoiding plastics to the best of our ability, especially in the
kitchen (replace plastic storage containers with glass ones), avoiding synthetic fragrances (assume that any
product that lists «fragrance,» «perfume» or «parfum» as an ingredient contains the chemical), purchase phthalate - free makeup, eat organic
whenever possible (to avoid phthalates in pesticides), and finally, by avoiding the use of scented candles and air fresheners with synthetic scents (pure essential oils are a healthier alternative).
