For October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Vibrant Body Company is introducing what it calls "the world's first 'clean' bra designed specifically for women's breast health, wellness and comfort." On top of having a comfortable design that's supportive of the physical body and self-confidence, the design promotes well-being by being made without potentially harmful chemicals and dyes.
Just as there is a list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen for crops that are grown with the most and the least pesticides, The Vibrant Body Company created a Dirty Laundry List that reveals the five most commonly used chemicals in the production of intimates and clothing pieces—it includes formaldehyde, flame retardants and chlorine bleach. While fabrics containing these chemicals are legal in the US, they are banned in many places of the world.
