Melaleuca

I just wanted to clear some things up. I did not want to sound like I was slamming a company. I am sure there are some good benefits to using Melaleuca, but the good didn’t out way the bad in my situation.  First off, I do not spend $50-$75 a month on personal and cleaning products. They wanted me to commit to an amount like that and it was not feasible for me to do.  Second, I am not a chemist and yes, I will admit that I do not know about chemicals put in a product, I only know from research on the internet. I also know that a REP can not sell Melaleuca and say that it relieved all of there families allergies. When anything you put on or in your body can cause an allergy, whether it is organic or natural or not.  I also do not think it is right that if a customer of Melaleuca can’t order products on a monthly basis that they are charging your credit card and sending you products anyway. Are you going to tell me that they don’t have enough revenue coming in that they have to do this. I mean come on. Well I just wanted to clear some things up. This is my blog and my opinion and I am grateful for the replies and opinions of others. Thank you!!

Melaleuca….Are they really a green company? I beg to differ….Clearly Toxic!!!!

I was on a journey to find a job I can do from home.  I was on the work at home moms website and clicked on an ad.  To make a long story short, I was brought to Melaleuca.  I thought hmmm, I can buy safe products for my family and also make a business out of this.  The first thing I didn’t like about this company was that I had to sign up to purchase 35 product points a month, which seemed a lot for my family.  Oh yeah, and if you didn’t order, you had to have a back up order on file and they would automatically send you that and charge your card.  Well I gave it a try, ordered my products, and received them a week later.

One of the personal products I purchased was body wash.  Renew body wash for adults and Koala pals for my sons. I don’t know if the person who tried to sell me on Melaleuca didn’t think that I would look at the ingredients in these products.  Lets just say….

Renew body wash and Koala pals –

Some of the ingredients:

PEG 80 Sorbitan Laurate, is not safe to use on injured or damaged skin.  There is also a strong evidence of being a human skin toxicant and is a primary skin irritant.  Not good for everyday use, only limited use.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine, is  a skin sensitizer – an agent that can induce allergic reaction in the skin or lungs.  Again not safe for everyday use, only safe for limited use.

Fragrance, is a known human immune system toxicant.  Also has a score of 8 for high hazard.

I could go on and on about the ingredients on these products.  How can a “wellness” company sell products like these or How could anyone promote this company? These are 2 questions I have.  This company is not a green company.  They claim that Johnson’s baby wash is harmful and toxic.  Well most of the ingredients in Johnson’s is also in there koala pals body wash.

I sent an email to the woman who signed me up for Melaleuca with the same questions. Of course, I never got a response.  Obviously I was right in my findings and she couldn’t fight for her “Company”. Well I deleted my account with Melaleuca and I will tell as many people that I can about this company.  They are not a green company!!! Also I have heard through other blogs that they do test there products on animals.  Not sure how true that is though.

*****I got my ingredients information from the cosmeticsdatabase.com website.  Very informational site!!  Check it out!!!

***** Also, I have found a company called California baby, I purchased products from them that I use for my 10 month old. Their baby products are made from plants and all natural.
