Outgassing On Store Shelves 

January 4th, 2009

As part of our series on educating others, we need to bring up quickly the phenomenon that is occurring everyday on local store shelves - that of “OUTGASSING.” This is the term used to describe poisonous gasses that are leaking from bottles of traditional household cleaners found on local store shelves. Any product with Chlorine, Bleach, Amonia, Phenols, Dioxon and A HOST OF OTHERS are volitle and pass from liquid to gaseous states readily. It is in the gaseous state that these toxic chemicals escape from the bottles! When one walks down the isles of cleaning and laundry products the scent is not fragrance but one of OUTGASSING.

Quanternium-15 

December 28th, 2008

When I was growing up formaldehyde was for dead bodies! Plus, the chemical was called by it’s name, formaldehyde. Today, there are over 30-40 brand names for this chemical. The only constant is “Quanternium-15″ which is the formaldehyde releaser. Therefore, look at traditional baby products and other consumables for the ingredient Quanternium-15. You can be sure that the product also contains formaldehyde!

Let us know the products you find. In addition, we can always help you find safer alternatives to those household products that contain Quanternium-15.

May 23rd, 2008

This is the time of year where incidious skin damage can occur - whether bright sun or cloudy. Skin cancers are on the rise and more and more difficult to remove. In fact, they may come back time and time again. The sad thing is that the skin / cell damage begins in childhood and renders adult skin susceptable to these skin canceres. It is so important to beware of what toxic chemicals are in store brand sunscreen. We use a special sunscreen that we’ve used for 4 years and it is awesome yet does not have harmful chemicals.
