Plastics are everywhere and they are making us sick.

​

A 2022 study in Environment International found microplastics in the blood of 77% of participants. It shows up in our lungs, stool, and even the placenta. 

 

Children are now born into the world with plastics already in their system.

 

How is All This Plastic Entering Our Bodies?

​

Textiles made from polyester, nylon, and acrylic are among the largest contributors to microplastic pollution. When we wash these synthetic fabrics, microfibers are released into wastewater and flow into rivers and oceans, where they accumulate in marine life and re-enter our food systems. In fact, synthetic clothing accounts for roughly one-third of all microplastics in the ocean.

A Summary of Known Health Risks of Plastic Exposure

​

Scientists have identified several concerning effects linked to microplastic exposure:

​

• Chronic inflammation and irritation in organs and tissues

• Cellular oxidative stress

• Immune system interference

• Transport of toxic chemicals into the body attached to plastic particles

​​

Take a look at just a small sampling of the scientific literature detailing the tragic health risks we now know that plastics pose to each of us today and to children in the future.

Wool Is, Thankfully, Not Plastic.

​

Genuine sheepskin, obviously, does not release microplastics into the environment. Sheep and sheep's wool are part of the environment. They are part of nature you can bring back into your life. Sheepskin is:

​

• Completely biodegradable — breaks down naturally without polluting

• Naturally antibacterial and breathable — perfect for sensitive skin

• Durable and long-lasting — reducing waste over time

​

Soft, safe, and sustainable, sheepskin doesn’t hurt you. What it will do is deliver comfort, quality, peace of mind, and zero microplastics.

 

You don't need to be bedridden or suffering with discomfort to enjoy the benefits of sheepskin. You just have to want to live a life that keeps plastics out of your air, water, your family’s bodies, and the environment.
