Hi Stacy …I recently got educated about the toxic ingredients lurking in our everyday cosmetics and to say the least, it’s shocking!! I’m currently reading your book and can’t wait to share it with others and place it on my blog.

On the subject of Axe, my husband and teenage son used to use it. Whenever either one of them sprays it on, the entire house reeks of the stuff. It’s so strong smelling that it will literally wake me up from my sleep in the morning because I’m coughing! But, luckily, I’ve been made aware of the dangers of these types of body sprays, deordorants, and skincare products that I’ve eliminated them all from my home. I now only use 100% toxic free products.

You might want to touch base with this gentleman, he seems to be very knowledgeable about the industry and what is really going on “behind the scenes”:

I will check on that, I’m not sure if anyone in our group is attending. But this is an excellent question – what makes a sustainable fragrance? There may also be problems with some natural fragrances and essential oils containing synthetic chemicals in some cases. Certainly the things we found in the report – 10 allergens per product, and potential hormone disruptors like DEP and musk chemicals do not belong in sustainable fragrances!

In light of the recent report, is anyone from EWG or the Campaign attending Sustainable Fragrances 2010 later this month? I’d love to hear a report on what might actually be a ‘sustainable fragrance’!
