  Green cleaning standards

  The article quotes Jeffrey Hollender as saying that 'natural' is undefined and unregulated by the government.

  The article then cites Consumer Reports' website as saying that  "because no standards exist, claims such as "nontoxic," "eco-safe," and "environmentally friendly" are also meaningless."

  But there are a couple symbols you can look for on bottles and cans of cleaning products.

  The EPA's Design for the Environment (DfE) logo indicates that all product ingredients have been screened for harmful effects and that - to the best of the EPA's knowledge - the product contains ingredients that "pose the least concern among chemicals in their class" (both with regards to human and environmental health) http://epa.gov/dfe/pubs/projects/formulat/label.htm

  Other products - such as car cleaning products - may have a logo from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) indicating health hazards, fire hazards, reactive hazards or other hazards. A four-zero rating means the product is extremely safe by those measurements.

  Let's talk stubble...

  Generally I shave once or twice per week. It would have taken me months to research this article. Just wondering whether the creams and gels were reviewed on 1-day or 2-day growth or on serious stubble...

  Anyway, the Kiss My Face product sounds pretty appealing, especially for a guy like myself who wants to buy green without spending a huge amount of green.

  I agree with robjdisc that I feel worse about the use of disposable razors than the content of my shave cream. Any manufacturers out there at least making their razors from recycled plastic? On A dozen men's shaving creams get put to the blade posted 1 year, 6 months ago 13 Responses
