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 all want a cleaner world, but how do you make a difference?

A cleaner world. We all want it. But how do you make a difference? A real difference for not only our own generation but those who will follow. It starts with understanding the four main ways our day-to-day living is making the world dirty. And then taking some simple steps to help make things clean again.

1 PROTECT WATER

It is important for us to protect our waterways from contamination. Common household cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that end up going down the drain.
In the U.S., 500,000 tons of pollutants pour into lakes and rivers daily and many chemicals are not removed even after passing through water treatment facilities.
Use cleaning products without chlorine, phosphates and other harsh chemicals to help reduce the amount of pollutants that enter our waterways.

2 SAVE ENERGY

Most countries are experiencing significant energy demand growth, which puts pressure on the resources used to generate that energy. There are easy things we can do to help conserve the energy we would otherwise waste each day.
45% of your home energy costs come from space heating.
Program or manually turn down your thermostat by two degrees in the winter and turn it up two degrees in the summer to cut back on energy costs.

3 IMPROVE AIR QUALITY

According to the EPA, vehicle emissions and other toxic air pollutants that are found in some home cleaning products can contribute to health risks such as damage to the immune system and respiratory health problems.
Vehicle exhaust alone contributes about 60% of all air pollution emissions nationwide and up to 95% in cities.
Use mass transit, ride your bike, or carpool wherever possible to help reduce the amount of exhaust in your area.

4 REDUCE WASTE

Every year, the U.S. generates approximately 230 million tons of garbage. Less than one quarter of garbage is recycled. Recycling keeps unnecessary garbage out of landfills and conserves Earth’s previous natural resources.
In the U.S., each person generates about 4.6 pounds of garbage
every day.
Recycle old newspapers, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic containers to help reduce the amount of trash.

Have you used Melaleuca products, and do you like them?

I really like the Melaleuca prodcuts! I'm not a seller of them, just a buyer. I love the daily vitamin packs, the Sol-u-mel we use on a daily basis, and the Nicole Miller stuff is wonderful. I think their products are wonderful. I'm still brand loyal to many of the items I buy locally, but I'm sold on the quality of Melaleuca. And this is from someone who is pretty anti-multi-level-marketing.

If you have questions on specific products, let me know. I haven't tried them all for sure, but can give you an honest opinion if I've tried one you are questioning.



We have been using Melaleuca products for several years now and love having a non-toxic household. The problem we have is in keeping our order to the minimum amount as we could easily double or triple our purchase each month. We have several favourite products now including the new mint toothpaste with the tea-tree oil in it. The oil goes down into the gums and fights bacteria and plaque build-up. Our dentist was very impressed last visit after not having a checkup for nearly 2 years. The other fab product is the Sol-U-Mel cleaner. Our vehicle recently had a disagreement with a parking garage marker which left a small dent and a very long yellow paint mark down the side of the green vehicle. Out came the Sol-u-Mel and paper towel and it took the yellow paint right off the vehicle without damaging the original paintwork at all. Our friend had a similar experience when someone sprayed his car with graffiti, Sol-u-mel did a complete cleanup for him. We make sure to have Attain shakes and bars on hand always. The orange/cream shake with a banana or other fruit is a great between-meal snack and full of good things, and my husband would not be without his Access bars before his workout and Proflex 30 shake afterwards. I could go on-and-on about these products, they are great. And in case you don't get hooked on them, there is a money-back guarantee on the products, and your enrollment fee!
