Green Living Tips How Safe Are Your Natural Products
As I offer green living tips I do a lot of research to make sure I give you the best green living tips available. How safe are the green products on the market today? We are all aware of the toxins found in cleaners, shampoos, personal care and laundry supplies that we buy over the counter. When it comes to natural and organic products we must still be careful. Going green comes with a responsibility, making sure what you are paying the extra money for is truly not leaving a negative impact on the planet or being harmful to your family.
I came across an independent study by the OCA, Organic Consumers Association, that shows the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane in many products claiming to be organic and natural. Many of these are products you use on your children. Some products containing this carcinogen are Seventh Generation Natural Dish Liquid, Kiss My Face Early to Bed Shower Gel & Foaming Bath, Nature’s Gate Baby Soothing Shampoo and many more. See full report here.
It seems that the movement to go green is so large that everyone wants their product listed as natural or organic. This is sad as being green is important to the preservation of our planet.
With my green living tips I do my best to research thoroughly for you. I know everyone does not have the time freedom I have to do so. Be wise in your choices as they effect the health of your family, your pets and your planet.
Till next time, when I will share more green living tips with you.
