There are, though, and I don't think we disagree, some products that are definitely rated as high hazards and others that are rated green, or low risk, that one can pretty much bet on being just that.GreenFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787984522074922716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034455299383795193.post-54266702439337907082010-03-29T19:06:49.624-07:002010-03-29T19:06:49.624-07:00Greenwashing extends to the products who use the i...Greenwashing extends to the products who use the ingredients rating in the Skin Deep database for the bulk of their marketing. There are many ingredients and products in the database rated with a "ZERO" because of one single fact...the ingredients have not been evaluated yet. <br /><br />In these cases, "ZERO" does NOT mean non-...toxic! Or safe, or beneficial. It just means the ingredients have not been evaluated! <br /><br />It's like going to college and being given an A+ for attendance alone and not taking a single test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034455299383795193.post-88730099551790173652010-03-29T18:49:14.681-07:002010-03-29T18:49:14.681-07:00Dear Susan,

The company is on my top picks list in the Personal Care chapter of my new book, Do One Green Thing.<br /><br />For more about the book, which just came out March 16, plse see my home page at http://www.greenerpenny.com.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />MindyGreenFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787984522074922716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034455299383795193.post-51754008322132638732010-03-22T13:56:31.519-07:002010-03-22T13:56:31.519-07:00Yes, there is a lot of greenwashing going on.

I enjoyed hearing you on the Leonard Lopate show, which is how I found you and this article. <br /><br />I didn't see any reference to <a href="http://organicadvocate.mionegroup.com" rel="nofollow"> miessence</a> products on your site and wonder if you know about them. They are certified organic to food grade by the ACO (they are made in Australia), USDA and IFOAM. I have been more than pleased with the results and happy that the company works with the wisdom of mother nature and not against her.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Susan Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521505255697872092noreply@blogger.com
