Why do they put Polyethylene Glycol in this product? Or titanium dioxide for that matter? Are they safe for human consumption?

I cannot answer your question since I'm not a chemist. I do know I have been using Posture D for many, many years and it has absolutely NO side effects, as some other brands of calcium have.

I don't know. I would check with a pharmacist. I do know I have used this product for at least 10 years and have had no side effects.

i emailed the company to ask, but from what i've read so far it seems to be as safe as plastic can be. i use a fat separator so infrequently, frankly i didn't obsess over it. probably as healthy as gravy LOL. FOLLOW UP: THE REPLY I GOT FROM THE OXO CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY IS "Please be assured that our consumers' safety is a top priority during the development of our products. All OXO products are BPA, Phthalate, and PVC Free."

I have no idea. However it is my understanding that BPA is not as much a problem for animals as people, it may not even trigger the same hormonal response. These things are so small that I would imaging any leaching would be so minute as to not really matter. I could be wrong though.

PEG, which is the abbreviation of polyethylene glycol, is not a definitive chemical entity in itself, but rather a mixture of compounds, of polymers that have been bonded together. Polyethylene is the most common form of plastic, and when combined with glycol, it becomes a thick and sticky liquid. In cosmetics, PEGs function in three ways: as emollients (which help soften and lubricate the skin), as emulsifiers (which help water-based and oil-based ingredients mix properly), and as vehicles that help deliver other ingredients deeper into the skin. Studies conclude that it is harmless to humans: https://www.truthinaging.com/review/what-is-it-pegs

It contains propylene glycol, which is an alcohol. You may want to Google this ingredient if it's a concern of yours.

no but the key active ingredient is Titanium Dioxide 9 per cent you will not find any product that has this high amount which protects the skin

If you read the label, it says Arm & Hammer Essentials with Natural Deodorizers. It does not say all natural ingedients. Propylene glycol is not a harmful substance as far as I'm aware. It's in lots of things including Miralax. Thousands of people take that everyday including one of my family members so if you know something I don't please let me know! From what I understand it's a pretty neutral substance. If it is in antifreeze, I don't think it's the only ingredient.

I honestly don't even know why you would mind if it contained melamine. It's been used as a plastic resin for decades w/o any problems at all. The only instances where you'd be concerned, if it was actively being used as a protein adulterant in human or animal food. Making plates, dishes, tableware, dry erase boards and zillions of other different products that are completely inedible isn't a threat, or concern, to human health at all.

I would dispose of it in an environmentally safe fashion. The additives have a limited life span, and you are well through that span. Have a great day and thanks for asking. Richard Stoyeck

The risk of leaching chemicals like BPA occurs when plastics are heated. This diffuser remains cool, colder than room temperature, therefore I wouldn't worry about what kind of plastic it is made with. Also just to clarify, just because something is BPA free doesn't mean it is safe. Every type of plastic leaches harmful chemicals. There have been a lot of studies done on BPA so it is most widely known. The other compounds that make up plastic are just untested. Who knows, maybe they are even more toxic! Try to use glass when you can, but I wouldn't worry about it in this case.

as its non toxic I have only used water, lotion, oil, and combinations of them. I make a lot of face paint with them

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.

It's safe and non-toxic and it cleans great. But I would check with your local health department first. The manufacturer could probably email you a MSDS (material safety data sheet) to submit to your agency.

I do not recall anything on the packaging saying one way or another, but the utensils are made of 100% lexan and according to what I found: The bulk of the research shows that Plastic #7 (Lexan, Nalgene and other polycarbonate) bottles do not leach bisphenol A in amounts proven to cause health concerns in humans. Also, the plate set is made of polypropolene which according to what I found polypropylene nor melamine contain two of the toxins that have raised concern in recent years: bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates.Sorry I cannot be more specific. I have had this item for some time.

They are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. What I like about this sunscreen is that it doesn't have anything else, those are good for allergies.

True, titanium dioxide is used as a food color and has been widely used for years. It is listed as one of the 4 filler for vitamins and food to avoid.
