Earth Science Facial Scrub Frequently Asked Questions Do you use methyl or propyl paraben to preserve your products? Absolutely not. Earth Science products have been on the market for over twenty-five years and have never contained parabens. Do you test on animals or use animal ingredients? Earth Science products are not tested on animals. Most products contain no animal ingredients and are suitable for vegans. These product labels are clearly marked with, “No Animal Ingredients.” However, some Earth Science products do contain animal-produced ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin and silk protein. See below for a list of products containing these ingredients. Which products are considered vegan? Earth Science products are suitable for vegans, with the exception of the following: Azulene Eye Treatment contains beeswax Placentagen Eye & Throat Crème contains human placental proteins (see below) Men’s Face & Body Skin Care Balm contains lanolin oil Hair Treatment Shampoo contains hydrolyzed silk protein Hair Treatment Conditioner contains hydrolyzed silk protein Deep Conditioning Hair Masque contains hydrolyzed silk protein Where do you obtain the placenta in Placentagen Eye and Throat Crème? Placentagen contains actual human placenta (not bovine, or other animal-derived) that is ethically sourced, with full consent from volunteer donors in Switzerland. It is obtained from live births only, and is meticulously panel-tested multiple times for purity and safety. Earth Science use a hot water extract of this placenta which is rich in human building blocks DNA and RNA to help repair and restructure the skin. Why do you use sulfates in your shampoos? Are they harmful? Sulfates, like sodium laureth or sodium lauryl sulfate, are commonly used as foaming agents. They are controversial ingredients due to rumors that question their safety. In a rinse-off formula like shampoo there is no opportunity for these sulfates to enter the bloodstream, which would be the main concern for carcinogenic risks. A concern with sodium lauryl sulfate would be dermatitis or drying of the skin if used as part of a formula that was not pH balanced. Sodium lauryl sulfate has an approximate pH of 10 in its concentrated raw material form which is very alkaline and drying to the skin. Earth Science chooses not to use sodium lauryl sulfate. Sodium laureth sulfate, on the other hand, is at an approximate pH of 5.5 in its concentrated raw material form. This greatly reduces the risk of any type of skin irritation and is much easier to formulate into a gentle cleanser. Sodium laureth sulfate is very mild; it is derived from either coconut or palm and is gentle and effective even for sensitive skin. Earth Science uses only the gentlest form of sodium laureth sulfate. Why is propylene glycol used in your deodorants? Propylene glycol enables their deodorants to be applied smoothly in a stick form and helps to stabilize the base of anti-microbial plant ingredients. Earth Science have researched glycerin as a substitute, and found that the glycerin acts as a moisture binder that encourages bacterial growth, which causes odor. Propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe for use even in food products. I have allergies, environmental sensitivities, skin irritation problems, etc. Are your products safe for me?
