Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Hidden Microplastics In Tea, Shampoo & Everyday Products | Josephine Musco · 12 May 2026 podcast

We have a pandemic in hormone disruption, thyroid, estrogen, you name it.

There is a rise in cancer cases.

And microplastics, nanoplastics are one of those toxins that we can control.

There are other toxins that are at the root of this crisis, but microplastics, nanoplastics are ones that we can actually do something about because they are something we are consuming.

There is a

very clear correlation between the use of plastic the excessive use of plastic and that these hormone disruptions and you know inability to lose weight acne all kind of things that are manifesting in people since the start the start of use of plastic and as we start using plastic more like for example you know women use so many items every day that are leaching plastic in their bodies so

First of all, let me explain what microplastics are and what nanoplastics are because a lot of people watching this aren't familiar with this substance.

So microplastics are particles that are between five millimeters to one micron.

Nanoplastics are below one micron.

So they are not visible to the naked eye.

And there are things that are leaching from anything and everything that's made from polyester, that's made, you know, like skincare.

Not only does the skincare have inside of it

ingredients that are made from plastic derivatives, but they're also stored in these plastic containers.

And when they are transported, the heat is actually causing the leaching of the plastic from the container itself into the product.

Number two, workout clothes.

Those are a major hormone disruptor because people are wearing them, they are working out in them, there's friction.

Our skin is our largest organ.

And when you're working out, what happens, your pores are wide open.

And at the same time, these microplastics are being leached because of the friction and the heat.

So we are absorbing a ton of microplastics and, you know, people do heated yoga, heated Pilates in these workout clothes.
