Want to be rewarded for having previous BAD BEHAVIOR?

Take the MICHAEL TODD challenge. Win $100 true organics gift certificate!

When Lewis Hendler, Chairman of MICHAEL TODD began seeking a healthier lifestyle, he began scrutinizing the labels on all his and his wife’s skin care products. Lewis was shocked to learn that many of today’s skin care products (even the shampoo he used for his labradors Sam and Harley) were mostly water (first ingredient) and actually contained harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances, even while calling themselves “natural” or “organic.”

Now you can educate yourself by taking the MICHAEL TODD challenge and putting your favorite skin care products under the magnifying glass to see if they are mostly water or contain unhealthy ingredients such as:

• Isopropyl alcohol
• Mineral oil
• Polyethylene glycol
• Propylene glycol
• Sodium or Ammonium Lauryl/ Laureth Sulfate
• Chlorine
• DEA - diethanolamine
• MEA - monoethanolamine: a class of chemicals known as alkanolamines
• TEA - triethanolamine
• FD&C dyes
• Artificial fragrances
• Imidazolidinyl urea
• DMDM Hydantoin
• Parabens -butyl, ethyl, methyl and propyl
• Aluminum
• Fluoride
• Talc
• Dioxins
• Pthalates
• Triclosan

For a chance to win a $100 true organicsgift certificate, take a moment and examine the labels of your favorite skin care products, and if you see an ingredient you don't recognize, look it up. You can use a dictionary or just Google it. You might have to take a chemistry course just to understand what you're reading!
