In today's episode:This week on Freedom From the Desk ... Formaldehyde: What You Might Be Using Every Day (Without Realising)What we’re exposed to every day matters more than we often realise!Honestly, this is a topic that isn’t always talked about in everyday language! Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, and where they can show up in common household and personal care products.This isn’t about fear.It’s about awareness.Because health isn’t just about what we eat, how we move, or the supplements we take, it’s also shaped by what we bring into our homes and use daily.In this episode, we unpack:• What formaldehyde is (in simple terms)• The difference between formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives• Where it can appear in everyday products• Why it doesn’t always show up clearly on labels• The difference between high exposure and everyday exposure• How small, repeated exposures can add up over time• Simple, practical ways to start making more informed choicesBecause real change doesn’t come from doing everything at once - it comes from small, intentional shifts over time.____________________ACCESS YOUR Free Resource: Additives Cheat SheetOther names mentioned: DMDM hydantoin imidazolidinyl urea diazolidinyl urea quaternium-15bronopol____________________Hi, I’m Nicola Brunton.
