Restricted Ingredients

We are committed to natural formulas.

Below is a list of the ingredients we do not use in our products and why :

  • 1,4 Dioxane – skin irritant, potential toxicant

  • Aluminum Zirconium – potential carcinogen

  • Animal by-products – materials harvested from the death of an animal.

  • Benzalkonium/Benzethonium Chloride – potential carcinogen

  • Benzyl Acetate – potential neurotoxin

  • Bronopol – releases formaldehyde & nitrosamines into products

  • Butyl Acetate – flammable, repeated exposure causes skin cracking

  • Butylated Hydroxytoluene/Hydroxyanisole (BHT/BHA) – potential carcinogen and hormone disruptors

  • Ceteareth Compounds – irritant, alters skin structure

  • Coal Tar – carcinogen

  • Cocamide/Lauramide DEA – potential carcinogen, highly irritating

  • DMDM Hydantoin – formaldehyde releasing preservative

  • Ethyl Acetate – highly flammable

  • Ethylene Glycol – potential toxicant

  • Formaldehyde – known carcinogen

  • Hydroquinone – skin irritant, possible links to organic toxicity

  • Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate – potential carcinogen and allergen

  • Lead and Lead Compounds – toxicant, carcinogen

  • Mineral Oil – Non bio-degradable, pore clogging ingredient

  • Oxybenzone – developmental and reproductive toxicity

  • P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) – potential irritant, may trigger asthma

  • Parabens – potential carcinogen

  • Pentasodium Pentetate – potential irritant

  • Petroleum Distillates – clogs pores, non-biodegradable

  • Petrolatum – can be contaminated during the refining process with probable carcinogens

  • Phenyl T-Butylnitrone – synthetic antioxidant

  • Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid – synthetic UV filter

  • Phenylisopropyl dimethicone – synthetic conditioning agent

  • Polyaminopropyl biguanide – synthetic preservative, probable carcinogen

  • Polybutene – possible irritant

  • Polydecene – possible toxicant

  • Polyethylene – possible irritant

  • Polyethylene glycol - contains contaminates Ethylene Oxide & 1,4 Dioxane

  • Pthalates – Irritant, probable endocrine disruptor

  • Quaternium -15 – formaldehyde releasing preservative

  • Sodium trideceth sulfate – Irritant, potentially contaminated with 1,4 Dioxane and Ethylene Oxide

  • Sorbeth-30 tetraoleate – potentially contaminated with 1,4 Dioxane and Ethylene Oxide

  • Stearamide MEA – potentially contaminated with Nitrosamines
