    I've never heard of this company until I saw your other post about it. They claim "Our fragrances contain only Organic Essential Oils lovingly blended with natural plant materials." & I couldn't find a Sea Spray scent, but I found a "Shore Thing"? Is that the one? "A sharp crystal sun beats the hot white beach. The delicate wavy scents of Salt, Sand, and Sea Spray are laced with notes of Coconut and Driftwood essential oils."

    I emailed Pure Attitude Cosmetics about the testing as she claimed was available on her website. Shockingly, she responded! She said she had trouble getting the report and has removed the claim from her website but here is what she sent me this morning. I'll re-type it since I can't figure out how to show the document here, lol. It's from Eurofins GeneScan Inc.

    Customer: Nature's Gift International

    Date Received: 1/18/10

    Report Date: 1/21/10

    Description: EcoSoya CB-Xcel

    Lab Number: CF09499

    Commodity: Soy Wax

    Analysis: PCR Qualitative CaMV 35S promoter

    Result: Negative

    The target of the PCR analysis is a DNA sequence which is characteristic of various commercialized transgenic crops (GMOs), including Roundup Ready soybeans GTS 40-3-2. The 35S promoter DNA sequence was not detected in the sample.

    Question on a scent

    Karen not only alot better but alot cheaper.Scentsy is high on what they sell.

    My husband went into a couple buskinesses that were burning scentsy melts(tarts).He actually came out ill.He makes our stuff since I was dx with BC but he got so sick from the scents these businesses had. I walked in one place with him.Got in the door and went back out. He knew what was the matter but he stayed and took the smell but not before coming out sick.I was surprised he didn't get sick inside .Those places have lost our business.

    Because they were too strong? Or was it just a bad scent?

    I think I would buy Sherlock Homie based on the name alone, lol.

    Not allowed to make medical claims

    This is Marie Gale's take on it-

    Some common drug claims for soap include: “anti-bacterial,”kills fungi,” “treats or cures eczema,” etc. Note that if a claim is made for an ingredient in the soap it is still considered a claim for the soap itself, so claiming that it contains tea tree oil which is “known to be antibacterial” can make the soap a drug.

    Is SOAP a COSMETIC?

    IF the soap is "true soap" (made from oil and lye), and the ONLY claims are that it cleanses and is soap, then no, it is not a cosmetics.

    HOWEVER, if there are ANY claims that it (or any of the ingredients) moisturizes, soothes, softens, exfoliates or anything other that just "cleans", then it is a cosmetic. As a cosmetic, it requires the ingredients to be listed.
