PX 70 (Laundry Detergent)

PX 70 is a strong detergent that may cause intolerance due to surfactants, phosphates, and synthetic fragrances. Avoid it for 8 weeks, use cleaner alternatives, and support detox pathways to reduce symptoms and improve your tolerance.

🚫 What is PX 70 (Laundry Detergent)?
PX 70 is a synthetic laundry detergent, often used in commercial or industrial settings. While specific formulations can vary, it typically contains surfactants, phosphates, optical brighteners, enzymes, and artificial fragrances. These ingredients help break down stains and clean fabrics—but may trigger skin irritation, respiratory issues, or chemical sensitivities in some individuals.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to PX 70?
Your sensitivity to PX 70 may come from its chemical makeup and how your body reacts to lingering detergent residues:

  • Surfactants (like SLS or SLES) – Break down oils but may strip natural skin barriers, leading to dryness, itching, or rashes.
  • Fragrances & dyes – Can trigger headaches, sneezing, skin irritation, or breathing issues.
  • Phosphates – May be irritating to skin and hard on the liver to detox.
  • Preservatives (like formaldehyde releasers) – Can provoke immune reactions in sensitive individuals.
  • Residue buildup – Even after rinsing, small amounts remain on clothes and bedding, leading to chronic low-level exposure through skin contact or inhalation.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • Avoid PX 70 for 8 weeks – Switch to a hypoallergenic or natural detergent to reduce chemical exposure.
  • Rinse clothes thoroughly – Use an extra rinse cycle to help remove residue.
  • Use dryer balls instead of dryer sheets – These are often another source of fragrances.
  • Wear natural fibers – Synthetic fabrics may hold on to detergent residues more stubbornly.
  • Track reactions to other laundry or cleaning products – You may be sensitive to multiple related compounds.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with PX 70 Sensitivity?

💊 Supportive Options:

  • Glutathione – Supports detoxification and helps neutralize chemical residues.
  • Vitamin C – Reduces oxidative stress and supports skin and immune function.
  • Quercetin – Helps calm histamine and allergic-type reactions.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids – Reduces inflammation and skin irritation.
  • Probiotics – May support skin and gut health in cases of chemical sensitivity.

🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to PX 70 but Not Other Detergents?

  • Stronger industrial ingredients – PX 70 may contain more potent surfactants or fragrances than household detergents.
  • Fragrance load – Higher concentrations can trigger more intense reactions.
  • Phosphate or enzyme sensitivity – Not all detergents use these ingredients.
  • Residue retention – Some detergents leave more residue behind, which continues to irritate your skin or respiratory system.
