Do they deserve to be “outlawed”? Um, no. Give me a break. They may not have total truth in advertising, but neither do any of the conventional, non-organic personal-care brands. And, all things considered, Jason products are still probably better for you than the rest of the crap on the Wal-Mart shelf, if not least because most (though not all) of their products don’t contain parabens. You need to check ingredients lists carefully, and Jason isn’t the only product guilty of this. Most of the other popular “organic” brands, including Kiss My Face and Alba, sell items that may be made with supposedly organic ingredients but that still contain parabens or other suspected toxins.

To find out what’s in your personal-care products and whether or not it’s suspected to be toxic, look up the ingredients at the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep cosmetics database: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/

You can see, for example, just from the short ingredients list on Dr. Bronner’s lotions, that they’re excellent. Just look them up.

And I agree with Rebecca. Many things we might consider to be “natural” are allergens or poisons, especially if used in excess. Just because something is natural or organic doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

I agree with a lot of what Rebecca has to say, except that natural is more of a guide than a fact. I mean there are millions of products out there and by labeling natural or organic you have just eliminated 80% of the choice. So in that fact I appreciate the labeling. The reason there is so much “green washing” is because this is the biggest growing industry in America and everyone wants a piece. Think about it they stole our real food away years ago and replaced it with “Flavoring” and now they are selling us back the real food/products at an increased price. You have company’s like Clorox buying out Burt’s Bees, Kellogs owns Kashi and the list continues through just about any other “natural” brand you buy. The real question isn’t labeling its what are these company going to do to these products? What are they going to slip in that isn’t going to be on the ingredients?

I agree that all the ingredients are technically organic and natural means nothing. It’s all chemicals. What is sodium chloride; a chemical or salt? I think we are just trying to determine what is safe for our bodies and our environment (which will eventually touch our bodies).
I like Dr. Bronners for my skin (even if it can be a little drying) but it doesn’t work for my hair.
I just picked up Burt’s Bees shampoo and conditioner and it has mostly edible ingredients and they say phenolyethanol is a natural rose ether (which I doubt is edible). While researching ingredients I keep finding conflicting info on phenolyethanol. Some sources say it’s okay some that it will kill your whole family. I just want to wash my hair with something that works but isn’t toxic.
