There has been some progress in the food and drink trade, but not too much in personal care containers. There are the environmental issues, and also the simple fact that some phthalates probably do leach into some products, since phthalates are used to make plastics pliable. Not all plastics, but most.

Plastic water bottles,soda bottles,these are far worse because we ingest them. And what about parabens? Are they going to ban plastic containers that leach toxic bpa’s?

I went to the websites, and I have to agree, they offer no research or detailed information. If left up to them we won't be able to use anything at all.

What about the big fragrance houses - are they going to be able to use these in their perfumes? That would technically be considered a "leave-on" product? I love each and every one of these fragrances and especially in the spring and summer. I know you and Tony (Cropwatch) have addressed this long before Colorado started their nonsense.
