Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Especially if they sell you something.

"That's why everything at HEX is carefully designed for sustainability." What a great vibe from HEX. Unfortunately, they fail to mention that the sustainability they are talking about is their bank account. Here because their communications department (other thing: if you brag about what a 'green' company you are but don't even list your ingredients on an Amazon product page, you probably aren't as green as you make out to be ) can't copy and paste the ingredient list from their own website, I made it for you. I've even gone one step further - giving anything identified as a potential irritant, potentially carcinogen or environmental hazard a three-star rating and then explaining why I got it: water, surfactants (C9-11 Pareth 6, C12 -15 Pareth 7), chelating agent (tetrasodium glutamate diacetate), stabilizers (methyl glucose trioleate PEG-120), *perfume, enzymes (propylene glycol, amylase enzyme, subtilisin***) and preservatives (methylisothiazolinone***, patented HEX molecule).* HEX- Fragrances meet the standards of the EPA Safer Choice and Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist. Fragrance ingredients: citrus tree scent: limonene, hexyl cinnamon***, citronellol***, linalool, 1-(2-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy-2-butanol***, linalyl acetate, geraniol*** Crisp Linen Scent: hexyl cinnamon** *, 2-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalool***, 2,6-dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol, butylphenylmethylpropion***, hexyl salicylate, benzyl acetate***, nitriles, aromatic esters, pure exyl acetate, 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, Limonene, 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde***, methyl alpha-ionone isomers***, vernaldehyde***, delta damascone*** Fresh and clean aroma aliphatic esters***, 2.6 -dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol, hexylcinnamic acid***, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate***, limonene, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde * **, prenyl acetate, allylcyclohexanepropionate*** , geraniol***, delta damascone*** lavender fields, fragrance: linalool***, vernaldehyde***, benzyl acetate, citronellol***, 2-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, terpineol, methylcory aldehyde, coumarin, cedrol, linalyl acetate, Limonene, Ester Fragrance free: Without Fragrances SURPRISING INGREDIENTS: Subtilisin: Possible human immunotoxin or allergen. Methylisothiazolinone: Possible human immune toxin or allergen. Hexylcinnamal: A possible human immunotoxin or allergen. According to the European Chemicals Agency: EXTREMELY TOXIC TO AQUATIC LIFE WITH LONG TERM EFFECTS. Do you know what that means, HEKS? NOT GREEN. Citronellol: A possible human immunotoxin or allergen (412 studies in the PubMed Scientific Library may contain toxicity information for this chemical). Linalool: A possible human immunotoxin or allergen. 1-(2-tert-Butylcyclohexyloxy-2-butanol: It might be worth correcting that typo on your site, HEX. Of course, it hides one of the most toxic chemicals in your product from anyone doing a specific word search that defines is classified by ECHA as "toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects and causes serious eye irritation." Geraniol: A possible human immunotoxin or allergen The 1096 studies in the PubMed Scientific Library may contain information on the toxicity of this chemical Environmental toxin on EPA's list of internal substances Butylphenylmethylpropional: Classified as medium priority health on EPA's list of internal substances Life with adverse long term effects Aliphatic Ether : EPA causes skin and eye irritation .delta-Damascone : Causes skin irritation, harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. (International Flavors and Fragrances) Wernaldehyde: insoluble. Causes skin irritation. (Vigon International) I didn't finish. Nobody pays me for it like HEX pays their communications department to sit back and write non-answers to Revain questions.
