Bans:
X Fragrances
There are over 3,000 components that can go into the making of a single “fragrance” as listed on an ingredients label. Many of these hidden ingredients are synthetic and have been linked to birth defects, cancer, neurological effects, allergies, respiratory issues, hormonal imbalances, skin disorders, and reproductive toxicity. ButterBath® uses only pure essential oils—not just for their health benefits, but because their natural aroma is far more pleasing than synthetic fragrance. You will NEVER see the word “fragrance” listed in our ingredients. In our humble opinion, “fragrances” are so pervasively problematic that there should be strict regulations on their usage.
X 'eths' and PEGs
Ingredients like Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Oleth, Myreth, Ceteareth, and PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) can, in many cases, produce 1,4-Dioxane—a known carcinogen. Because these ingredients are found in numerous products, individuals may be exposed to small amounts multiple times daily—cumulatively increasing the risk of cancer over time. ButterBath® says “NO WAY” to 'eths' and PEGs.
X Propylene Glycol
This popular humectant can cause contact dermatitis and skin irritation. There’s really only one reason this potentially irritating ingredient appears in so many skincare products: cost. It’s cheap. The Butter Bath Company® uses only incredible natural humectants like shea butter, avocado oil, borage oil, and mango butter to attract and retain moisture on your skin.
X Parabens
Parabens—such as isobutylparaben, butylparaben, isopropylparaben, and propylparaben—are chemical preservatives linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, and fertility issues. The majority of skincare products on the market contain high percentages of water (typically over 90%). When water is present, preservatives must be used to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms. ButterBath® never uses water as an ingredient. This means you get the richest ingredients for your face and body—without the need for preservatives in our anhydrous formulas. A win-win for your skin!
