By selecting products that don’t contain harmful chemicals you are making smarter decisions for yourself and your family.
Fragrance – Synthetic fragrances can be highly allergenic. Companies do not have to list the chemicals used in fragrances. They contain large quantities of toxins and chemicals not disclosed. Fragrance-free means that fragrance chemicals have been added to the product to mask the natural aromas of the ingredients.
Phthalates – Phthalates are synthetic chemical compounds mainly used as softening agents and to create fragrance. Look out for your plastics – squeeze bottles, shower curtains, soft plastics. Carcinogens, mutation agents.
Parabens – Parabens are synthetic compounds used as a preservative in most beauty products. You can find them listed as methylparabens, propylparabens, butylparabens, and ethylparabens. Parabens cause many allergic reactions and skin rashes. They are implicated in a multitude of health problems and are know to be estrogenic and potentially cancer causing. Parabens have been found in breast tissue, replicated in dna and stored in fat cells.
PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) – a water soluble polymer used as an emulsifier and plasticizer. Impurities in these materials have been cited as potentially
Acrylamides – thickeners used for a variety of cosmetic purposes. In personal care products they act as stabilizers to add richness and body. However the material may be a possible human carcinogen because of its potentially harmful impurities. It is already a restricted substance in European cosmetics.

Myreth – ethoxylated compound used in various surfactants such as Sodium Myreth Sulfate.
Methylisothiazolinone – antimicrobial agent found in some shampoos and hand creams and widely used in industrial settings inhibits the development of particular neuron structures that are essential for transmitting signals between cells. prolonged exposure to low levels of methylisothiazolinone (MIT) may have potentially damaging consequences to a developing nervous system.
