Harmful Chemicals In Household Products? Cancer In YOUR Bathroom? ...

Would You... Wash their hair and brush their teeth with  brake fluid, engine degreaser or antifreeze?

You probably are
and don't know it!

Knowledge is Power FACT: We believe raw ingredient containers emblazoned with "danger" warning labels & "skull-and-crossbones" symbols hold nothing one would want in a morning shower or a child's bath. FACT: Many ingredients were given special exemption from bans when the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed in 1938. The FDA can't order them removed from the market even if proven harmful.

FACT: Many commonly used products contain potentially harmful ingredients, which are made up of very small molecules that may penetrate the skin, enter the blood stream, and build up in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and tissues.

FACT: We were astonished to find that potentially unhealthy, toxic, and damaging chemicals are included in many cosmetics, lotions, and treatments applied day after day to the skin and hair.

FACT: These potentially harmful ingredients are still commonly used because they are cheap, easily diluted, and universally available - a woefully inadequate recipe for producing personal "care" products.

FACT: There exists a real need for more healthful alternatives to the existing slurry of generic, mass-produced personal care products.

FACT: Scientific research is discovering that many chemicals in personal care products may actually pose potentially serious long-term health threats when used over an extended period of time, as the skin absorbs like a sponge.

FACT: Over 884 ingredients were "grandfathered in" for use in personal care products and are suspected or proven to be cancer-causing agents, carcinogens, toxins, dioxins, irritants, and contaminants found commonly in personal care products.

FACT: Researchers, like Dr. Samuel Epstein, M.D.,  have identified numerous chemicals in personal care products that are toxic and carcinogenic; meaning that they can potentially cause cancer.

Do A Quick Check Of Your Labels

• Alcohol: Implicated in oral, tongue and throat cancer.
• Aluminum: Skin irritant. May be related to nerve damage and brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s.
• Colors (coal tar dyes): Carcinogens, often contaminated with lead and arsenic. May cause eye damage. 
• Bentonite or Kaolin: Used to suffocate forest fires. May provide a suffocating barrier to the skin.
• Benzoic or Benzyl: Contains enzene rings and toluene, potential cancer causing agents, endocrine disrupters, and may also cause birth defects.
• Coal Tar Dyes: Do you eat crude oil? If you eat foods which contain synthetic dyes ("food color") then the answer is yes.  These artificial colorings - which are found in familiar supermarket foods, medications, and some non-foods such as toothpaste and mouthwash - are synthesized from petroleum.  They were originally made from coal tar oil, and are still referred to in the industry as "coal tar dyes."  (Source:  U.S. Food & Drug Administration) 
  What's wrong with a little petrol in my diet?
  Scientists have found that these chemicals can trigger a wide number of behavior, learning and health problems. FD&C color or D&C color, may cause potentially severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks, headaches, nausea, fatigue, nervousness, lack of concentration, and cancer.
• DEA or TEA (Diethanolamine): Foam-boosting surfactant. A potential carcinogen that may form carcinogenic nitrosamines.
• Dioxins: A by-product that results from the process used to bleach paper at paper mills. Dioxin-treated containers sometimes transfer dioxins to the product itself. Recently in the news because it has been added to the list of known carcinogens.
• Flavoring or Fragrance (Artificial): Some can be potentially carcinogenic and may cause brain damage.
• Fluoride: Poison. Merck's index, the main reference book of the pharmaceutical profession, lists the industrial uses of fluoride compounds as "an insecticide, particularly for ants and roaches." Under the heading "Human Toxicity", the index says "Severe symptoms result from ingestion of 0.25 to 0.45 grams and death results from ingestion of 4 grams.
• Formaldehyde: Poison. A toxic, colorless gas that is an irritant and a carcinogen. When combined with water, formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant, fixative, or preservative. Formaldehyde is found in many cosmetic products and conventional nail care systems.
• Hair Color:  Studies have linked hair coloring with certain cancers. Hair colorings made from coal-tar were given special exemption from bans when the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed in 1938. The FDA can't order these removed even if they are proven harmful. 
• Laureth (ethoxylated), or PEG: May contain dioxane, a potential cancer-causing agent, estrogen mimic, and endocrine disrupter.
• Lye: Mixed with animal fat in soaps. Serious burns result if contact is made with skin before it is diluted. Very drying to skin and bar soap breeds germs.
• Propylene Glycol: Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney and liver abnormalities in animal studies. May inhibit skin cell growth and be irritating to the skin.
• Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate (SLES/SLS): Could contain nitrosamines and dioxane (potential carcinogens). May damage children’s teeth; contain endocrine disrupters, estrogen mimics; and possibly cause hair loss. Builds up in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain. Could retard healing, cause cataracts, roughen skin, and lead to improper eye development in children under 6 years. May cause mouth ulcers.
• Sodium Fluoride: Has been shown to be a potential carcinogen.
• Talc: A carcinogen that causes ovarian cancer in mammals.
• Toluene: May be an endocrine disrupter, potential cancer-causing agent, and also may cause birth defects.

Our Mission & Promise

For over a decade, we have actively sought supplies of safer  natural ingredients from sources around the world, sparing no expense to include the best in our products. We have embraced a philosophy of "researching the research" to formulate top-quality products that other companies may believe are too difficult and too expensive to produce and distribute. Every year, our professional, international team of biochemists and herbologists review thousands of studies and reports generated by the scientific community. Then, gleaning the best from this comprehensive body of research, we formulate unique products that we sincerely believe are characteristically safer and more effective than existing industry standards. In fact, according to many of the world's leading scientists, researchers, and industry watchers, our products are believed to be among the most powerful and potentially beneficial formulations ever offered in the personal care industry.

 Preferring to make products that people really want, products that were once too difficult or impossible to find, we will never settle for the "good enough is good enough" philosophy of others, a business philosophy that has yielded a multitude of marginal products different in packaging but nearly identical in content. Instead, we will always go the extra mile, investing our hearts, souls, and resources in supplying the products that people really need and deserve.
