FORMULATION FACT 01

Formulated without heavily ethoxylated ingredients Polysorbate 80 or PEG-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate that carry particular risk for carcinogenic contaminants, ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. We take ingredient purity seriously.

FORMULATION FACT 02

We chose naturally-derived phytic acid to support product stability and preservation instead of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) salts designed to improve stability and enhance preservation of our products. Manufacturing EDTA and its salts involves reacting ethylenediamine, a harmful substance associated with reproductive toxicity. Unfortunately, EDTA and its salts may contain trace amounts of this substance. EDTA and its salts are also persistent and can be harmful to the environment.

FORMULATION FACT 03

We chose preservative sorbic acid instead of isothaizolinones methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCIT) that are not only irritating to the skin and eye, but are also linked to endocrine disruption and environmental harm.

      Excellent replacement

      I recently purchased this to try as a possible replacement for a long-time favorite. I was pleasantly surprised that it exceeded my expectations. Swap made!
