Introduction Axe body wash is a highly toxic skin care product. This product's official name is AXE Revitalizing Shower Gel. The parent company Unilever had sales of 49.9 billion dollars in 2004. In the interests of disclosure this corporate behemoth was recently involved in a mercury scandal. Unilever Taking the Red Pill? The AXE brand marketed by Unilever has penetrated the public consciousness through slick marketing and packaging. Unilever claims AXE is the world's leading male grooming product because men have - like Keanu Reeves - "taken the red pill." The irony is that using this toxic product is the same as taking a poison pill - without the choice of colors! Positives? There is nothing positive about this product according to the ingredient label. The Axe body wash does not meet any natural ingredient parameter. In fact, if you were to inject this chemical concoction into someone's bloodstream you would be locked up. I do not say this lightly, as the penetration agent - TETRASODIUM EDTA - in this product enables it to pass into your bloodstream unhindered. Tested on Animals? It is not certified organic and it uses synthetic chemicals that have been tested on animals. Unilever outsource's animal testers so as not to get their hands dirty. The fact that it is not certified organic - obviously - means that there is a possibility the product contains G.M.O - genetically modified organisms - and pesticides. Negatives The Axe body wash is a chemical soup with many of the ingredients never even tested for safety according to the C.I.R. - Cosmetic Ingredient Review. The chemicals that are certified by the C.I.R have been tested on animals. Cancer Linkage This product contains a very toxic ingredient - COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE which has been linked to cancer in animal tests. Reproductive Toxicity This product contains one ingredient - ETIDRONIC ACID - linked to reduced fertility and a reduced chance for a full term healthy pregnancy. Penetration Enhancers Also present are penetration enhancers: TETRASODIUM EDTA. These agents work to infiltrate the skin membrane - i.e. penetration enhancer - and in doing so may increase exposures to carcinogens. Untested Chemicals AXE Revitalizing Shower Gel contains 3 chemicals that have not been assessed for safety in cosmetic formulas by the C.I.R. These chemicals are: PEG-5 COCAMIDE, ETIDRONIC ACID, GLYCERIN. Recommendation My advice is this, Don't Believe The Hype or the slick marketing by Unilever. Stay away from AXE Revitalizing Shower Gel. If you use it now I strongly urge you to throw it in the trash. Don't fill the coffers of a mega corp that KNOWINGLY uses toxic ingredients in their so called skin care products. Vote with your wallet and maybe Unilever in time will learn not to put their customer's health at risk. The Unilever corporation reported an operating profit of 4.2 billion dollars in 2004 and they will not suffer if you don't buy this or any of their products again. However, if you use or continue to use this product you may suffer a myriad of health effects in the long term. Certified Organic Alternative There are legitimate alternatives to toxic products like these. You can make your own moisturizer products using natural ingredients. Or, if you are someone who likes the peace of mind that your natural skin care products are certified organic I would refer you to the top rating natural body wash. Voice Your Opinion!

We Have a Law That Protects Us....Don't We? NO-We do NOT!!

Here is why so many people and children are so sick!! This about it!! Were people and children ALWAYS as sick and riddled with health problems? NO-they were not!

THEY WOULDN’T SELL IT IF IT WASN’T SAFE…WOULD THEY?
When we pick up a product at the local grocery store, most of us like to think we are getting something that has been tested and proven to be safe. After all, we have laws to protect our health and safety, DON’T WE?
Actually, the government has very limited power to regulate manufacturers, or require testing of their products.
The closest thing we have to a regulatory agency for the personal care industry is the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and their power is extremely limited. Here are some disturbing facts:
• A product that kills 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive a “non-toxic
designation.
• Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately
test for their negative effects on our health; less than 10% have been tested for their effects on the
nervous system; and nothing is known about the combined effects of those chemicals when mixed
within our bodies.
• No law requires manufacturers to list the exact ingredients on their package label.
• The FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing on their personal care products before they are
sold to the public.
• The FDA cannot require recalls of harmful personal care products from the marketplace.
• The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in
personal care products. The results were as follows:
884 of the chemicals were toxic 314 caused biologic mutation
218 caused reproductive complications 778 caused acute toxicity
148 caused tumors 376 caused eye and skin irritations
ONE COMMON INGREDIENT
Although it would take an entire book to cover all the ingredients commonly used in household and
personal care products, let me tell you about just one as an example, FORMALDEHYDE.
Formaldehyde is used frequently in both cleaning and personal care products because it is a cheap
preservative. The following information is taken from a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) which, by law,
must be supplied to anyone who uses a chemical product in the workplace. The MSDS for formaldehyde
warns: “Suspected carcinogen; May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin; causes burns;
inhalation can cause spasms, edema (fluid buildup) of the larynx and bronchi, and chemical pneumonitis;
extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membrane.”
All these symptoms and more are caused by formaldehyde. Yet manufacturers can put formaldehyde in
shampoo and not list it as an ingredient! You will be shocked to learn that formaldehyde is a common
ingredient in baby shampoo, bubble bath, deodorants, perfume, cologne, hair dye, mouthwash, toothpaste,
hair spray and many other personal care items. The amount of formaldehyde in many of these products is
slight but the risk is there. If all cancers start from the abnormal growth on one cell, then why allow any
amount into or onto your body?

Asthma/Eczema Testimonials

Chemicals in YOUR home causing problems / illnesses... like eczema and asthma!!

There are so many chemicals and cancer causing agents in the daily products most people use.  Not only are they hurting you and your family when you use them... but, they are also out-gassing as they sit under your cabinet!!

Here are some testimonials I would like to share about how switching their homes to melaleuca changed and enhanced some lives:

Asthma Tips/Testimonials:

My husband has Asthma and prior to shopping with Melaleuca I was not able to clean the home if he was present.  This was a huge problem when I became a full-time stay at home mom, especially since he was working a night shift.  I could not clean any part of the home while he was sleeping because the bleach and ammonia fumes would literally wake him up with an asthma attack.  I could not even run the dishwasher until he was gone.  As long as I cleaned in the evenings after he left for work, he was fine.  I wasn't!  I was exhausted at this time of day.  Needless to say, not much cleaning got done!  Now though we are in a completely different place.  Mick picks up any of our cleaners and cleans with me without any cause for concern.  On top of this, we have saved a ton of money.  We no longer buy inhalers every month.  This was costing us $50/month (copay).  Now, we might buy this 1-2 times/year.  Over the last 9 + years this has saved us over $5000 in medication, not to mention doctor expenses.  My husband frequently comments how his home is no longer his enemy!  When we visit the homes of others who still use bleach, he can't even stay in their home.  His eyes immediately water up and he gets a tight chest.  But HIS HOME IS SAFE!

Eczema Tips/ testimonials:

Cleaning products! Yes, cleaning products! When you live with someone who has eczema, you eventually figure out all the triggers. My husband works in a Blood Bank and the lab counters are constantly washed down with diluted bleach. If he does not pay attention and allows his skin to come in contact with the surface, he will have an immediate flare up! My niece and nephew have to wear long pants or stockings to day care because the back of their legs will break out in contact dermititis from the Lysol that is sprayed on the chairs. All these cleaning products leave a residue behind and for someone with eczema this can lead to a serious, miserable flare up. All of Melaleuca's cleaning products are free of harsh and harmful chemicals and will not do this.  Your best friends will be Renew Lotion, Melagel, Dermacort and Melapower! ( everything in contact with their skin makes a BIG difference, laundry detergent is always in contact with their skin all day long on their clothes and linens!)
~~~~
I just want to share a story from one of my current customers who came to me over 5 years ago with her then 7 year old who has severe eczema.  About a week after she switched over to Melaleuca's products, she called to thank me stating my son is finally sleeping though the night! He was 7 years old! He would literally scratch all night long! On top of that, she said, he refuses to take a bath unless he sees me add the Renew Bath Oil and he reminds her to bring the Melagel with them when they leave the home. Her husband went to their pediatrician and told him, stop prescribing Ointments and Creams and Start prescribing THIS and gave him a Melaleuca catalog.  The RENEW LOTION is a life-safer and once starting with the Melapower laundry detergent

Love this Testimony on Tub N Tile!!!

How often do you get information from customer who love the products they are using in then home on a everyday basis.  Well this company gets them handed in by the hundreds everyday here is just another awesome customer sharing their experience.

A Testimony for the Tub & Tile Cleaner You Won't Believe!

We have 13 acres of rolling hills and large grandfather pecan and oak trees along 2 weather creeks. We had a really severe storm 3 weeks ago and a large grandfather tree fell into the creek across our property line. The tree is massive at least 100 years old. In it's falling it hit another oak tree damaging it and landed on a grandfather pecan tree putting it under a lot of stress . The other day we met with our neighbor next door that we share the property line with to discuss a plan of cleaning the massive tree out of the creek. First of all I am a mosquito magnet! But anyway I was cleaning my bathroom with the Tub & Tile cleaner which I enjoy so much! Really I look forward to using it the scent is wonderful and I know I'm not breathing anything toxic, when my neighbor text-ed us to meet her at the big tree. She is very cautious about chemical exposure as she is a cancer survivor of 8+ years! I decided to take her a spray bottle of the Tub & Tile Cleaner for her to try. We were there just a few minutes when she started hopping around slapping mosquito's and she looked at me and said why aren't they biting you? I could still smell the Tub & Tile on my arms and told her it must be the Tub & Tile cleaner! Not one mosquito bit me!  She quickly took her bottle of Tub & Tile and began to spray her legs and arms rubbing it all over herself! Not one insect bite afterward and we stayed at the creek talking for 1 1/2 hrs. enjoying the beauty of the massive trees as the sun began to set. Amazing.

Melaleuca to Build New Manufacturing Facility

Melaleuca to Build New Manufacturing Facility

A U.S. consumable goods manufacturing company and licensed pharmaceutical company has announced plans to build a new additional manufacturing facility in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Currently Melaleuca has approximately one million square feet of manufacturing facilities and employees over 3,000 people in the U.S.

Unlike most other consumable product manufactures like Proctor and Gamble, who have 81 subsidiary companies around the world that manufacture products outside the U.S. and sell these products back in the U.S., Melaleuca focuses on keeping jobs and taxes in America to support education, highways and social services.
