Their stance is that basically all chemicals and all fragrances are bad in every way possible. There isn’t any flexibility with them.
Quotes from different places on the website.
“BHT – Known as a neurotoxin, endocrine disruptor, immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye, and lung irritator
In reality, this is an antioxidant used in a great many foods and even many medicines. There is no creditable proof it causes all that they say it does, and antioxidants are generally healthy and powerful healers.
“Fragrance” – One of the three ingredients actually disclosed. It’s a neurotoxin, immunotoxin, and allergen”
Just saying that the listing on a label is a singular matter and causes all these problems is sheer factual laziness, not to mention gaslighting.
“Propylene Glycol – Causes cancer, allergies, toxic to the immune system, accumulates in the system, non-reproductive organ system toxin, is classified with “enhanced skin absorption” and irritates the skin, eye, and lung.”
Again something is pretty innocuous and not known to cause all they are listing. Used in foods and meds. Including in almost all IV or injectable med formulations. In fact, the single greatest threat it poses is if you are a drug abuser on the street and you inject too much of it. enough to cause toxicity. Truly large amounts! They also allege that skin absorption is a problem. This is a feature by design. Yes, it can be dangerous if you take a full body immersion bath in it for 6 hours with no skin *rolls eyes. But in fact, I have a family member who had a 65% body burn and was in hypovolemic and hemodynamic shock. PG application was used as part of the emergency and ongoing treatment.
“Limonene – Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irrigator”
Yea, maybe you shouldn’t breathe in the air straight from a vat of limonene, but also maybe never clean your house or eat citrus ever again? Or just maybe keep using lemons to clean and eat oranges for a snack, and nothing will happen except that maybe one time you won’t get a cold when you would have otherwise.
“Ethyl acetate – linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organic system toxicity and skin, eyes and lung irrigator.”
Too easy. Not only is this known as nail polish remover, but it’s also in all sorts of foods. Pineapples, sweet oranges, cabbages, agaves, peaches, cereal crops, radishes, fruit juices, fermented foods, cheese, beer, wine, spirits, etc
Geraniol – Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity, and skin, eyes, and lung irritation
Linalool – allergen, immunotoxin, and skin, eyes, and lung irritator
Benzaldehyde – neurotoxin, and skin, eyes, and lung irritator
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether – non-reproductive organ system toxicity
Ethylhezanol – developmental and reproductive toxin and skin, eyes, and lung irritator
On and on it goes. All naturally occurring food products or used in medical injectables etc. Sure I wouldn’t rub a lavender plant in my eye, but if it’s gentle enough to be used for an infant or burn patient usage, then I’m not worried about a little perfume.
There are real dangers out there, and there are materials that can be dangerous. Most of what they talk about is a non issue.
