Natural Technology, That Works.
Ingredients We Will Never Use
We are committed to natural formulas that meet the strictest standards of clean. Below are the ingredients we will never use in our products and why.
1,4 Dioxane - skin irritant, potential toxicant
Petrolatum - can be contaminated during the refining process with probable carcinogens
Aluminum Zirconium – potential carcinogen
Phenyl T-Butylnitrone – synthetic antioxidant
Animal by-products – materials harvested from the death of an animal.
Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid – synthetic UV filter
Benzalkonium/Benzethonium Chloride – potential carcinogen
Phenylisopropyl dimethicone – synthetic conditioning agent
Benzyl Acetate – potential neurotoxin
Polyaminopropyl biguanide – synthetic preservative, probable carcinogen
Bronopol – releases formaldehyde & nitrosamines into products
Polybutene – possible irritant
