Great new book...

A MUST-READ for all Canadians!

Co-authored by Environmental Defence's Executive Director, Dr. Rick Smith, Slow Death by Rubber Duck reveals how daily life creates a toxic soup inside each of us. How do these toxins make their way inside us and what affect do they have on our health? And more importantly, what can we do about them? Rick Smith and co-author Bruce Lourie tackle these questions head-on by experimenting upon themselves. By revealing the pollution load in their bodies, they tell us the inside story of seven common substances.

Why we're here!

After our daughter experienced a painful reaction to the hand soap in her elementary school, we were driven to learn what is used in commonly available personal care products. We were shocked to find harsh chemicals and commonly-known carcinogens throughout the lists of ingredients.

Even brands we purchased from our local health food stores contained these chemicals and unlisted by-products of ingredient combinations that have been banned in other countries for years!

You should still do a small skin test prior to using any skin or cosmetic product, certified organic or not, but we have been working hard to figure it all out and offer it to you in a simple, accessible way.

Did you know? There are over 1100 chemicals that have been banned in the European Union for use in cosmetics and personal care products for being carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxins. For more information, please visit the following links:
