Many ‘organic’ & ‘green’ cosmetics and toiletries have been under fire lately because of misleading labels. ‘Organic’ and ‘green’ labels means very little when standards are unclear and unenforceable. Organic Consumer’s Association completed a study with disturbing results. The study is at: http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/DioxaneResults08.cfm It showed that big-name natural and organic companies actually have carcinogens in their products. Formulations will probably be changed since the report is out. So, we will only list our favorite companies who passed Organic Consumer Association’s test.
