  • life's a bleach...

    now if only clorox would quit making bleach, which we know is very harmful to the environment.  I think that they are just being hypocrites and trying to "green" up their image, and possibly distract people from the fact that they make such a horrible product-bleach.  Clorox also now owns Burts Bees. Another possible decoy in their evil plan to continue to pollute our environment.  I will never buy any of their products.  I might as well hand my money over to a wolf in sheeps clothing.On Clorox's Green Works line now top-selling green cleaners in U.S. posted 1 year, 1 month ago 3 Responses

    What makes this product different from traditional polish
    You already know it's water-based, it's odor-free and has no formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalates or FD& C colors. But let's take that a step further. Without getting too technical, let's explore the fundamental differences between solvent-based and water-based systems. Solvent- based polishes are simple solutions of nitrocellulose resins in strong solvents. Nitrocellulose is used because it forms a very hard film easily as the solvents evaporate from the base. These harsh, bad-smelling solvents, are then also used to remove the polish by dissolving the film. By contrast, water-based polish uses an emulsion resin in the form of billions of very small particles suspended in water. As the water evaporates, the particles touch each other and form a hard film which is no longer soluble in water. At first, it may seem that these systems are similar, the only difference being the carrier base. But they are in fact as different as night and day. One cures by reversible solvent evaporation, the other by creating a tightly knit film. One is easily dissolved, the other not so easily. Several states are beginning to regulate VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emitted by nail polishes and nail polish removers. WaterColors Nail Enamel has very low VOCs.

    instead of supporting "traditional" companies like CoverGirl and Loreal, lets support companies that are really trying to make a difference with all of their products.
