Okay, so at this week’s #ecowed, immediately following the special #ecowed with The Story of Cosmetics and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, we’ll be talking more about toxicants in soaps and detergents and more with Earth Mama Angel Baby. Earth Mama Angel Baby will be sponsoring tweeting toxicants for the #ecowed Twitter party on July 21, 2010 at 10 pm Eastern (7 pm Pacific) using the hashtag #ecowed.
So, have you looked up the products you use? Do you know what is in them? Do you know how they score at the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety database?
Do you know, is it a soap or is it a detergent? Is there a reason to figure that out?
Well, come tweet with us and find out why it matters whether it is a soap or a detergent. Plus, Earth Mama Angel Baby will be kicking off a Toxin Scavenger Hunt to learn what actually is in those personal pregnancy and baby care products in conjunction with Mothering magazine. Do you know that you can find the carcinogen 1,4 dioxane in some natural shampoos, baby washes and other products – and it isn’t even on the ingredient list? Have you checked out what is in Johnson and Johnson’s baby wash?
Come learn with us and Earth Mama Angel Baby. EMAB gets all 0′s for its products. (And learn why 0 is GOOD, not bad, as The Feminist Breeder reminds us as she changes the world a little bit.) As always, there will be prizes so leave a comment below to be entered and be sure to use the hashtag #ecowed during the party on 7/21/10 at 10 pm Eastern (7 pm Pacific). And don’t forget to follow @EMAB_HQ and @3greenangels as we tweet toxicants. (Okay, so you will see people tweeting about toxins while I stick to toxicants. Toxins are poisons produced by living cells, like snake venom. Toxicants are manmade poisons. Most people use the words interchangeably but I’m a former engineer and, well, a bit anal. So I’m using toxicants.)
