Instead of looking for products that have certain modern conveniences that require these types of chemicals to manufacturer, I think a better path for people who want to avoid exposure is avoiding these types of unnecessary modern conveniences. There's nearly no reason to use a non-stick pan when cooking, there are many techniques to get nearly as effective cleaning and release from pans which are made from cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel without the health risks. There's nearly no reason to use spray waterproof coatings on clothing, when you can instead use inherently waterproof layers or buy clothing from natural fibers with tight weaves, or use traditional methods of waterproofing like wax treatments. There's nearly no reason to use almost any product you find in a cosmetic store because you can choose to simply wash your face regularly, use simple moisturizers and sunscreens (although sunscreen is its own chemical minefield), and go through the necessary mental conditioning to accept yourself as you are (which is generally healthy anyway).
I appreciate the link, but I wish people would do a better cost/benefit analysis when weighing modern conveniences that are enabled by disastrous population level and environmental consequences.
In the past three years or so, I’ve been making more and more conscious decisions to avoid conveniences and do things a more traditional way, because they work, and with more known side effects.
Hear hear, I only use two: toothpaste and soap.

Absolutely, I'll choose physical shade/cover over sunscreen any day of the week.
