Are you looking for environmentally safe, non-toxic, effective, affordable healthy alternatives in your home??
Dangerous chemicals can be found in every room of your home, causing many known health problems. Scents, soaps, detergents, softeners, polishes, bleach, and specialized cleaners for specific parts of the home are used, all contribute to indoor air pollution, poisoning if ingested, and burning skin or eyes. The type of health hazards vary with the products and ingredients. Acute or immediate hazards include burning skin, watery eyes, respiratory irritations while long term hazards include chronic, or long-term effects, such as cancer.
Ingredients with high acute toxicity include chlorine bleach and ammonia, which produce fumes that are highly irritating to eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and should not be used by people with asthma or lung or heart problems.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found that one-third of the substances used in the fragrance industry are toxic. The chemical formulas of fragrances are considered trade secrets, allowing companies to omit their ingredients on labels but merely label them as containing “fragrance.” Fragrances are found in most cleaners, fabric softeners, detergent, and dish soap.
Hormone disruptors are found in many cleaning products mimicking or blocking the body’s natural chemical messengers. Reproductive problems and some kinds of cancer have been associated with these hormone disruptors.
Once surfaces are “cleaned”, they either come off on our clothes or bodies… or drain into the sewage system and waste-water treatment plants. Many of the chemicals are broken down during treatment, but some do not, threatening wildlife and waterways. In a May 2002 study of contaminants in stream water samples across the country, the U.S. Geological Survey found persistent detergent metabolites in 69% of streams tested. Sixty-six percent contained disinfectants.
If you are looking for a company that uses plant based ingredients instead of petroleum based, reduced packaging waste, does not use phosphates (acting as a fertilizer causing dead zones in the water), produces biodegradable products, does not use chlorine bleach or ammonia, and uses natural compounds to optimize health and the environment…. look no further.
Smarter ingredient choices lead to safer products that work. But finding the best naturally derived and plant-derived ingredients isn’t easy. It requires an advanced knowledge of where to find better ingredients and how they work in advanced product formulations.
This was one of the first companies to advance the science of plant-derived ingredients. For example, they were the first in the world to use essential oils in products, phosphate-free detergents, and patented super-concentrated technologies. Their team of in-house Ph.D.’s, world-class research and development scientists, and formulators have built a wide array of patents and scientific expertise that few companies can match.
