scorecard

[Guest guest]

Since we have been talking about what is toxic and whats not lately, I thought I

would share this website I just learned about from my environmental science

class.

www.scorecard.org

 

While I was reading on the site, I decided to search for a chemical name. The

closest thing to me with ingredients to try was my Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea

hand cream. The first word I searched was cyclopentasiloxane. The result was a

bit shocking.

" Ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to ecosystems. " The

second chemical I tried from the same hand cream was stearic acid, and I

discovered its also used in pesticides. They said the third time's a charm so I

tried alanine and found the following about it:

Developmental Toxicant

Suspected: Gastrointestinal or Liver Toxicant

Neurotoxicant

Respiratory Toxicant

Skin or Sense Organ Toxicant

 

So, no more Bath & Body Works for me! Enjoy the site.
