We believe the best way to produce this information to consumers, at the point of purchase, is through full disclosure of ingredients on product labels. And it’s okay to peel back the label before deciding to buy it, it will close again.<br /><br />We're proud to have led the industry as one of the few manufacturers of household cleaning products to voluntarily disclose all ingredients on our packaging. Seventh Generation uses specific chemical or INCI names on our product labels and lists all ingredients on our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which are available on our website. In addition to ingredient disclosure on our labels and MSDS, consumers are able to call our toll-free number for ingredient lists, or for additional information about each ingredient.<br /><br />In addition, we have created the Label Reading Guide, a free download-able application for cell phones. Armed with this portable "dictionary," shoppers can investigate product ingredients and product claims right in the aisle as they shop. Here is a link to the web-based version:<br /><br />http://www.seventhgeneration.com/show-whats-inside/Cleaning-Products-Ingredients-Guide<br /><br />Seventh Generation has submitted testimony to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking that they include definitions for "organic" and "natural" in the revised edition of the Green Marketing Guidelines. This will assure that all manufacturers use the terms "organic" and "natural" in a consistent way.<br /><br />At present, the term "natural" does not have a regulated definition. In the absence of regulation Seventh Generation has defined "natural" to mean "derived from natural materials." Surfactants that are made from plant oils and minerals are "natural" by this definition. This includes the surfactants used in our products.<br /><br />Finally, we invite you to participate in a recent discussion about SLS and our dish products on our blog:<br /><br />http://www.seventhgeneration.com/learn/blog/one-our-best-gets-even-better<br /><br />Daron // Seventh GenerationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
