It sits by the sink in millions of homes. Known for cutting grease and saving wildlife in oil spills, Dawn dish soap has earned trust as a household staple. But new lab tests just revealed a darker side.

Scientists have found that at least four ingredients in Dawn are linked to cancer in long-term exposure studies. These include known irritants and chemical preservatives that disrupt hormones, inflame tissues, and in some cases, have been labeled as potential carcinogens by international health bodies.

The problem is not just in one bottle. It is in every wash. These ingredients are not rinsed away completely. Tiny traces remain on dishes and surfaces, eventually making their way into our food and bodies.

Independent researchers flagged substances like methylisothiazolinone and sodium laureth sulfate as red flags. These are chemicals used for fragrance, foaming, and preservation. Over time, exposure builds up especially in people who do the dishes daily or use the product on baby bottles, food containers, or pet bowls.

Even more concerning is the lack of transparency. Most consumers never check ingredient lists for cleaning supplies. Many do not know manufacturers are not required to list every chemical on the label. That leaves a gap between perception and reality.

Dawn is not the only brand under scrutiny. But it is the most recognized. The one people trust. Which is why this discovery is so alarming.

Health experts now urge consumers to switch to safer alternatives. Look for unscented, non-toxic soaps or natural cleaners with simple ingredient lists. Better yet, make your own using baking soda, vinegar, and castile soap.

Your dishes may look clean. But if the soap leaves a toxic trail, the cost is invisible and long term.

In a world where we fight to reduce cancer risks, rethinking what we use every day is essential. The kitchen sink should not be a hidden source of harm.

Patchouli, often associated with the 1960s, has a distinctive musky, earthy, and exotic scent. It's also known for its skin benefits, helping to minimize the look of wrinkles and dry, cracked skin.

Porch settin with my Milo Girl. She will be 18 in August. She has slowed down a lot, but still will stroll outside on her own.
I’m diffusing citronella behind me so I can enjoy these times.

“I have always taught NOT to create your own blends. Either use Gary’s blends or LAYER oils as Gary taught us to do.” - Frances Fuller 🌈🔥💜🦋🎶

🌟🌟This is Gary’s final message to us, written just a few weeks before his passing. (Thank you Gailann Greene for sharing) 🌟🌟

“It seems that the more we grow and the bigger we become, the more other people try to take advantage of what we have. In the past few weeks, I have learned about other people who are giving out my oil recipes, making light of how to blend oils, and thinking they can show you a cheaper way to have the same formula. Anyone can take the oil ingredients off the label and think they can recreate what is in the bottle, but it is not quite that simple. Obviously, for people to go to all that effort, they must think that what we have is really great; but to do this, they have to be guessing about a lot of things.

Over the years, as I have formulated blends, I have discovered that the order of combining the oils greatly affect the efficacy of the blend. Sometimes, a few of the oils are blended and then put in the cool room for 24 hrs to homogenize together. Then that part of the blend is brought to room temperature before I add the rest of the oils to complete the blend. Sometimes individual oils have to be combined in a certain order because of their particular chemical compounds in order to achieve the desired aroma and effect. With some blends, as few as two oils have to blended before the other oils can be added.

I have not met anyone who goes to this degree of exactness or who has the expertise to create a “perfect” blend for a particular reason. Creating an oil blend is quite an art, which for me has taken a lifetime of experimenting and learning.

So, beware when individuals tell you how many drops to combine for any blend; they are not only guessing at numbers, but they are missing the art of blending, for which they have little or no knowledge.”
