When Karen Stanston wrote to ask about Eternity perfume, Marie Stuart of Consumer Affairs wrote back: "We are aware of the public concerns about the safety of phthalates and take them very seriously. We use only those phthalates that are important components of our products and have been shown to be safe by scientific risk assessment. | | They're manufactured by unilever, the Dutch-based consumer products conglomerate.
And they all contain toxic chemicals called phthalates (THA-lates).
Phthalates have been shown to damage the lung, liver and kidneys, and to harm the developing testes of male offspring.
These results come from animoi tests which, according to government scientists, are relevant to predicting health impacts in humans.
Last week, the European Union ordered a phase-out of two phthalates in cosmetic and beauty products.

The campaign had made special efforts to get the attention of mega-corporation unilever. Besides Bryony's seven phone calls and Janet's letter, there was a quarter-page ad that ran in the Washington Post the day the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel made its decision about phthalates. "Something has come between me and my Calvins," said the ad, urging the FDA and companies to take action to remove phthalates from personal care products. "Calvin Klein's Eternity. Aqua Net Hair Spray. Salon Selectives Hair Mousse. Dove Solid Anti-Perspirant. | | Bryony's notes record: seven calls to unilever, six calls to L'Oreal, eight calls to Revlon, seven calls to Estee Lauder. The only phone responses were from L'Oreal vice president of communications Sam Maddingly and Revlon spokeswoman Catherine Fisher, both of whom said they'd call back but never did. Estee Lauder sent a form letter written by the trade association saying phthalates are safe. After four phone calls to Procter & Gamble, Bryony managed to get a phone meeting with company executives.

"But the company added back tons of synthetics. I went to the owner and told him I wasn't happy.

See book keywords and concepts |  In April 1999, unilever publicly committed to remove GM ingredients from its European brands. Within a week, nearly all major food companies followed suit. The rejection by manufacturers and retailers continues to this day; it has kept GM foods out of the European Union in spite of official approvals of GM varieties by the EU Commission.
Americans remain under-informed
The same corporations that removed GMOs from their European lines, however, continue to sell them in the United States, where consumers remain uninformed of the issue. | | That's certainly enough to warrant concerns about allergies. unilever tested their protein with the stability and amino acid sequence evaluations that are used for GM crops (see part 3). They also went a step further and looked for reactions in the blood (sera) from 22 individuals known to be allergic to cod fish. But according to Cummins, "This experiment was deceptive because the cod allergy is caused by a cod blood protein unrelated to grouper ISP. | | Geneticist Joe Cummins and others said that the ISP could likewise "be letting off an immunological time bomb,"42 and called for long-term safety tests. unilever refused. They claim that since the glycosylation pattern in their ISP is typical of yeast, and because yeast does not cause immune problems in humans, the protein should be harmless. This assumption, however, fails to take into account that when GM yeast was used to create human pharmaceutical proteins, the glycosylation did cause problems related to immunity and enzyme functioning. | | Case study: fish protein in ice cream
To improve the taste and texture of its lowfat ice cream, unilever introduced GM ice-structuring protein (ISP), which lowers the temperature at which ice crystals grow. Although ISP is naturally found in an eel-like arctic fish called the ocean pout, isolating the protein from the fish is expensive. To make it affordable, the company inserted multiple copies of a fish gene into yeast DNA.
After it produces ISP, the yeast is removed using mi-crofiltration. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Procter & Gamble and other industry giants —like Revlon, unilever, Estee Lauder, and others—have successfully opposed every effort to broaden the FDA's mandate to include cosmetics. Since the governing principles of the FDA were established some seventy years ago, entirely new disciplines of science have emerged to study the long-term effects of chemicals on the human body. But the FDA's authority over these substances has changed little. This vacuum at the heart of America's regulatory apparatus is not difficult to discover: it's right on the agency's Web Site. | | After newspapers in Korea publicized the EWG's report, thousands of irate women converged outside the corporate offices of unilever in Seoul, the nation's capital. The demonstrations prompted the head of the Korean Food and Drug Administration to fly to Washington to express his concerns to his American counterpart. He also met with Charlotte Brody, the nurse who works with the health NGO Commonweal, and other activists. The Koreans shortly thereafter imposed more stringent oversight over cosmetic ingredients than the U.S. |

The good news is that safe cosmetics are readily available. My coauthor Genie James's favorite source for safe or "green" make up and hair color is The Body Shop.

Near Seventh Generation's booth, which was lined with nontoxic cleaning products, recycled paper products, and dioxin-free diapers, companies such as Ecover and Earth Friendly also had booths with similarly touted products.
If competition is the sign of a healthy marketplace, then the marketplace for natural cleaning products is quite healthy. |
