Preservatives: Parabens are hormonal and endocrine disruptors that have been linked to allergies, autism, reproductive and developmental defects, and cancer. Phenoxyethanol, another synthetic preservative, has been found to depress the central nervous system and may cause vomiting and diarrhea, as well as reproductive problems.

Sulfates: Sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, have been linked to hormonal disruption, neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and cancer. They also cause eye damage, asthma, and skin irritation.

Fragrance/Parfum: Chemical fragrances have been associated with allergies, reproductive damage, hormonal disruption, and cancer. Often, other harmful chemicals are added to fragrance and are not listed on cosmetic labels.

Phthalates: Phthalates are believed to damage the kidneys and liver, cause birth defects and reproductive problems, and are suspected to be carcinogenic.

PEG Compounds: Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)—these petroleum-based ingredients are known carcinogens and are linked to developmental problems, genotoxicity, and skin irritation. Other related chemicals, such as Ethylene glycol and Butylene glycol, are considered equally toxic.

Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers, such as DMDM Hydantoin, Urea, and Quaternium, have been linked to joint pain, skin irritation, allergies, depression, headaches, and chronic fatigue.

BHA/BHT: BHA and BHT are classified as known carcinogens and hormonal disruptors. They are associated with brain, liver, and kidney problems, as well as nervous system damage.

Colors and Dyes: FD&C Colors and Coal Tar Colors have been shown to be skin irritants and have been linked to behavioral and developmental problems. Often, these colors are also contaminated with low levels of heavy metals.

Amines: Amines, such as diethanolamine (DEA), monoethanolamine (MEA) and triethanolamaine (TEA), can cause skin and eye irritation and contact dermatitis. They can form nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens. They are easily absorbed through the skin and can accumulate in the liver and thyroid.

Petrolatum: While not every petroleum-derived chemical is toxic, several, such as mineral oil, petrolatum, and paraffin, can cause skin irritation, allergies, and promote acne. They are also often contaminated with aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogens.

Siloxanes: Siloxanes and silicone-derived ingredients often ending in “-methicone” are known endocrine disruptors and interfere with hormone function.

Talc: At a microscopic level, talc is similar to asbestos in composition. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory problems, as well as ovarian cancer.

Jouvé is also dedicated to creating ethical and responsibly sourced products. This means our products are never, ever tested on animals and do not contain animal derivatives, and we rely on alternative, non-animal testing methods for all cosmetic ingredients.

Because we believe in sustainability, all of our products are manufactured in an EPA Green Power Partner facility, where 100% of its annual energy needs are supplied through clean, renewable wind power.

ARIIX NEWS - Jouvé Receives Leaping Bunny Cruelty-Free Certification

BOUNTIFUL, Utah – ARIIX—THE Opportunity Company™ is excited to announce that their revolutionary skincare brand, Jouvé, has received the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny certification for cruelty-free products not tested on animals.

Since 1996, the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) has been connecting compassionate consumers with cruelty-free companies through the Leaping Bunny Program. This program offers the most up-to-date list of organizations that have committed to not conducting testing on animals throughout manufacturing processes, from ingredients to finished products. The Leaping Bunny Logo is consistently ranked as the cruelty-free logo that can be trusted the most by third-party companies.

“This is a very important issue,” says Deanna Latson, ARIIX Chief Product Officer and Founder. “Product testing using animals has never been a part of our process and it never will be. As part of Jouvé’s clean commitment, we promise not to include harmful ingredients or conduct risky manufacturing practices that would endanger the health of humans or animals. This symbol lets the world know of that dedication.

”The Leaping Bunny Standard is short for the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals, a voluntary pledge that cosmetic, personal care, and/or household product companies make to clear animal testing from all stages of product development. The company’s ingredient suppliers make the same pledge and the result is a product guaranteed to be 100 percent free of testing on animals. All Leaping Bunny companies must be open to independent audits and commitments are renewed on an annual basis.

The CCIC is made up of the following organizations: American Anti-Vivisection Society, Animal Alliance of Canada, Beauty Without Cruelty, USA, Doris Day Animal League, Humane Society of Canada, Humane Society of the United States, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, National Anti-Vivisection Society, and New England Anti-Vivisection Society. CCIC’s international partner is the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments. For more information, visit www.leapingbunny.org.
