Bogus organic natural skin care products
The lawsuit filed back in April 2008 by Dr. Bronner’s and the Organic Consumer’s Association against “organic cheaters” has been given the green light to proceed by the San Francisco Superior Court.
If you use all natural skin care products with organic on the label, make sure you read the ingredients list if the product is not USDA certified organic skin care. A number of natural skin care companies were caught red-handed labeling their products as organic when they contained the cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-dioxane.
The companies named in this lawsuit are
- Avalon Organics
- Jason Pure, Natural & Organic
- Nature’s Gate Organics
- Kiss My Face Obsessively Organic
- Giovanni Organic Cosmetics
- Head Organics
- Desert Essence Organics
- Stella McCartney’s CARE 100% Organic
Two other natural skin care companies, whose products were found to contain the carcinogen 1,4-dioxane, have agreed to reformulate the problematic products. They are Ikove and Juice Beauty.
There may be other skin care products on the market labeled as all natural and organic that are not listed above but do also contain the 1,4-dioxane or other harmful ingredients. Not every skin care product on the market labeled as organic and natural was tested for the contaminant.
For your health and your family’s health, be a wise consumer and read every label of every skin care product before you purchase.
