 | Introduction
Old Spice Body Wash is a highly toxic skin care product. This product's official name is Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash. The parent company Proctor & Gamble had sales of 55 billion dollars in 2004.
In the interests of disclosure this corporate behemoth is no stranger to toxic scandals. New tests have confirmed TBT poison in Proctor & Gamble Baby products: as reported by Greenpeace. Positives? There is nothing positive about this product according to the ingredient label. The Old Spice Body Wash does not meet any natural ingredient parameter. In fact, if you were to inject this chemical concoction into someone else's bloodstream you would be locked up. I do not say this lightly, as there are penetration agents in this product that 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. Proctor & Gamble 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 Old Spice 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 Causing Agents The only area that Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash excels is in the toxic parameters. It meets 7 of 12 toxic parameters, including the most serious ones. This product contains a known human carcinogen - FDC GREEN 3. Cancer Linkage This product contains four very toxic ingredients - POLYQUATERNIUM-10, DMDM HYDANTOIN, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE - that have been linked to breast cancer and other health concerns. Penetration Enhancers Also present are penetration enhancers: SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE, SODIUM LAUROYL SARCOSINATE, 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 Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash contains 7 chemicals that have not been assessed for safety in cosmetic formulas by the C.I.R. These chemicals are: CITRIC ACID, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, D&C RED 33, D&C GREEN 5, LAURYL GLUCOSIDE, FDC GREEN 3, 1-DODECANOL. Recommendation My advice is this, DO NOT go anywhere near Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash. 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 Proctor and Gamble in time will learn not to put their customer's health at risk. The Proctor and Gamble corporation reported an operating profit of 6.2 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 body wash 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!
