Feb 13, 'Natural' Cleaners May Soon Require New Labeling Standards

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:47:04 GMT

The Natural Products Association, a Washington-based group representing manufacturers and retailers including Clorox Co. and Whole Foods Market, plans to release new standards Thursday for natural home care products.

With more and more home-cleaning products that call call their ingredients "natural" appearing on store shelves, an industry group is trying to clarify what the term means and whether manufacturers are using it appropriately.

Natural generally means that the product's ingredients are derived from renewable resources like plants and minerals. But there is currently no uniform standard among manufacturers for use of the word in home-care products and many synthetic ingredients may actually be in these products.

To display the seal, products will have to meet criteria including the following: 95 of the ingredients in the product, excluding water, must be derived from natural sources. Non-natural ingredients should be used only when alternative natural ingredients are unavailable. The product should contain no ingredients with suspected human health risks. NPA says it is reviewing full ingredient lists from manufacturers who have applied for certification to determine whether their products qualify. The seal will be seen on products in the next several months.

Nov 11, The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:38:15 GMT

I recently heard Dr Frederick Templeton detailing scientific information about the dangers of phalates and parabens that are in many personal care products. He explained how these ingredients act as pseudo estrogen in the body, which in turn may cause early puberty in girls and possible cancer later in life. He also explained that male birth defects and male infertility are on the rise, which he believes is also attributed to these "gender bending" hormone disruptors.

Next I got to hear from Stacy Malkan, author of "Not Just a Pretty Face" and also chairman of the Environmental Working Group. Stacy exposed the ugly side of the beauty industry and challenged us to get involved in becoming instruments for change.

I have read Stacy's book and it makes me so angry at the cosmetic industry over their lack of concern for public health and safety. It also makes me all the more determined to get the word out about the dangers of toxic ingredients in so many personal care products.
