What's out?

The best thing is their products contain no harsh chemicals. They believe the true nature and principle of Embracing Earth's Essence is to harness carefully selected naturally derived ingredients as well as to exclude additives that could potentially cause discomfort to the largest organ of our body, our skin. The list might be very long if we to list out all additives we have excluded, so let us focus on those commonly found in body care products.

So the list goes:

SULPHATES/SULFATES

As the name states, sulphates are salts of sulphuric acids.

Common names derived from sulphates. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) as well as Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate (ALS) and Ammonium Laureth Sulphate (ALES).

Potential concerns. Breaks down skin moisture barrier. Easily penetrates skin and allows other chemicals to penetrate as well. When combine with certain chemicals, may become a "nitrosamine", a potent class of carcinogen.

SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCE & PHTHALATES

Due to trade secrets, companies are not require to disclose the chemicals used in Fragrance / Perfumes, Phthalates may be added to produce lasting scent.

Potential concerns. Contains hidden preservatives and chemicals which may raise higher concerns than that the preservatives and other ingredients used in the entire formulations Phthalates that create lasting scent also has been dound to remain in the bloodstream ans tissue.

HARMFUL PRESERVATIVES

Common names. Parabensm DMDM Hydantoin, Urea (Diazolidinyl and Imidazolidinyl), Isothiazilinones.

Potential concerns. Parabens comes in many variations such as methylparabens, propylparabens etc. They are known to cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. They are also known estrogen-mimickers and may cause harmonal imbalance, Isothiazolinones such as Methylisothiazolinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone are known human immune toxicant, sensitizer or allergen. DMDM Hydantoin & Urea releases formaldehyde which is an irritant and carcinogenic.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

Widely used in liquid and hard soap, cleansers, shampoos, creams, lotions and other products. Produces rich lather and is used in skincare as emollient and preservative.

Potential concerns. Skin irritation, rashes or inflammation. It is UNSAFE to use more than 3 grams of EDTA per day, or to take it longer than 5 to 7 days. Too much can cause kidney damage and dangerously low calcium levels.

ETHANOLAMINE COMPOUNDS

Ethanolamine is use mainly as wetting agents (allow water to spread out and penetrate more easily) or emulsifiers (blend oil and water). Also it can be used as foam boosters.
